Cellador - Forever Unbound
Call me an unbeliever, maybe a skeptical
I just can’t understand what seems to be above us all
Some people preach of glory, seeking a mystical
Why won’t they realize the dream they seek controls them all?

Across each land and country, through nations big and small
A force invisible, created by its own people
They seek for good intentions, spreading what they think is right
But really all they ever do is bring a neverending fight

Why not make up our own minds?
We all have nothing to hide…

You have it all down inside
No one can tell you how to think
It’s your heart and mind
You have control of your life
Riding on wings up to unbroken light

Waking up to a day of nothing, the mind is set to something told
Another dawn that has no worth, a hope adorned you can’t behold
Working through each day for something that one day you think you’ll earn
But why waste time for something then, when everything now’s for what you yearn?

Life’s too short to sit and cry
One day you live, another you die

You have it all down inside
No one can tell you how to think
It’s your heart and mind
You have control of your life
Riding on wings up to unbroken light

(Solos)

You have it all down inside
No one can tell you how to think
It’s your heart and mind
You have control of your life
Riding on wings up to unbroken light

You have it all down inside
And you have control of your life
No one can tell you
Just leave all your worries
And free your mind…
Again!!! Whoah, whoah!!

Cellador - Never Again
Early on there came a time when I was facing
A turning point in life
So many years I tried to find it

Thinking not of what is left to see in the future
Take another chance to find
That fading light shown in the distance

Falling in place was I
As I’m walking over edge
A sea to join of wasted life
Living on a broken ledge

Deep inside a force not weak
Ever longing for a way
To break the streak that’s holding me
And leads myself astray

Walking forever the life of the never
It’s all clear now to me, the answer has come
One strong of heart, that’ll never take follow again, never again, never again

You’ve seen the fellow, what a mindless mass pretender
Follow one and all alike
Trying to feel the system’s calling

Assimilate with what is now, forgo all reason
Take another place in line!
Join up with all and lose your senses

One day it hit me
I would never be like that
Free to see the sense in me
Thinking not what others said

Moving to a mind pristine
That is strong of will and free
And leaving all the ones that seek
To be another sheep

Walking forever the life of the never
It’s all clear now to me, the answer has come
One strong of heart, that’ll never take follow again, never again, never again

(Solos)

So many things that I have
Found waiting for me
A vision so revealing
Pure in all its majesty

Deep inside a force not weak,
Ever longing for a way
To break the streak that leads myself away…

Walking forever the life of the never
It’s all clear now to me, the answer has come
One strong of heart, that’ll never take follow again, never again, never again

[size=150]Tombstone Blues[/size]
Bob Dylan
Album: Highway 61 Revisited
Song

The sweet pretty things are in bed now of course
The city fathers they’re trying to endorse
The reincarnation of Paul Revere’s horse
But the town has no need to be nervous

The ghost of Belle Starr she hands down her wits
To Jezebel the nun she violently knits
A bald wig for Jack the Ripper who sits
At the head of the chamber of commerce

Mama’s in the factory
She ain’t got no food
I’m in the kitchen
With the tombstone blues

The hysterical bride in the penny arcade
Screaming she moans, “I’ve just been made”
Then sends out for the doctor who pulls down the shade
Says, “My advice is to not let the boys in”

Now the medicine man comes and he shuffles inside
He walks with a swagger and he says to the bride
“Stop all this weeping, swallow your pride
You will not die, it’s not poison”

Mama’s in the factory
She ain’t got no shoes
Daddy’s in the alley
He’s lookin’ for food
I’m in the kitchen
With the tombstone blues

Well, John the Baptist after torturing a thief
Looks up at his hero the Commander-in-Chief
Saying, “Tell me great hero, but please make it brief
Is there a hole for me to get sick in?”

The Commander-in-Chief answers him while chasing a fly
Saying, “Death to all those who would whimper and cry”
And dropping a bar bell he points to the sky
Saying, “The sun’s not yellow it’s chicken”

Mama’s in the factory
She ain’t got no shoes
Daddy’s in the alley
He’s lookin’ for food
I’m in the kitchen
With the tombstone blues

The king of the Philistines his soldiers to save
Put jawbones on their tombstones and flatters their graves
Puts the pied pipers in prison and fattens the slaves
Then sends them out to the jungle

Gypsy Davey with a blowtorch he burns out their camps
With his faithful slave Pedro behind him he tramps
With a fantastic collection of stamps
To win friends and influence his uncle

Mama’s in the factory
She ain’t got no shoes
Daddy’s in the alley
He’s lookin’ for food
I’m in trouble
With the tombstone blues

The geometry of innocence flesh on the bone
Causes Galileo’s math book to get thrown
At Delilah who’s sitting worthlessly alone
But the tears on her cheeks are from laughter

Now I wish I could give Brother Bill his great thrill
I would set him in chains at the top of the hill
Then send out for some pillars and Cecil B. DeMille
He could die happily ever after

Mama’s in the factory
She ain’t got no shoes
Daddy’s in the alley
He’s lookin’ for food
I’m in the kitchen
With the tombstone blues

Where Ma Raney and Beethoven once unwrapped their bed roll
Tuba players now rehearse around the flagpole
And the National Bank at a profit sells road maps for the soul
To the old folks home and the college

Now I wish I could write you a melody so plain
That could hold you dear lady from going insane
That could ease you and cool you and cease the pain
Of your useless and pointless knowledge

Mama’s in the factory
She ain’t got no shoes
Daddy’s in the alley
He’s lookin’ for food
I’m in the kitchen
With the tombstone blues

Just Like Tom Thumb’s Blues
Bob
Highway 61 revisited

When you’re lost in the rain in Juarez
And it’s Eastertime too
And your gravity fails
And negativity don’t pull you through
Don’t put on any airs
When you’re down on Rue Morgue Avenue
They got some hungry women there
And they really make a mess outa you

Now if you see Saint Annie
Please tell her thanks a lot
I cannot move
My fingers are all in a knot
I don’t have the strength
To get up and take another shot
And my best friend, my doctor
Won’t even say what it is I’ve got

Sweet Melinda
The peasants call her the goddess of gloom
She speaks good English
And she invites you up into her room
And you’re so kind
And careful not to go to her too soon
And she steals your voice
And leaves you howling at the moon

Up on Housing Project Hill
It’s either fortune or fame
You must pick up one or the other
Though neither of them are to be what they claim
If you’re lookin’ to get silly
You better go back to from where you came
Because the cops don’t need you here
And man they expect the same

Now all the authorities
They just stand around and boast
How they blackmailed the sergeant-at-arms
Into getting up and leaving his post
And picking up Angel who
Just arrived down here from the coast
Who looked so fine at first
But left looking just like a ghost

I started out on burgundy
But soon hit the harder stuff
Everybody said they’d stand behind me
When the game got rough
But it was all a big joke
There was nobody even there to bluff
I’m going back to New York City
I do believe I’ve had enough![/b]

Potions Yesterday
Draco and the Malfoys - [ mp3 | site | myspace ]

You messed up in potions yesterday
But everyone still thinks you’re really great
Except Snape, except Snape
Except Snape, and me

'Cause we see you for what you really are
Stupid little dork with a stupid dorky scar
And it’s okay, it’s really great
'Cause I hate you, and so does Snape

You crashed into the Whomping Willow tree
No one else would kick you out and make you history
Except for Snape, except for Snape
Except for Snape, except for Snape

'Cause rules are rules no matter who you are
And you’re the stupid jerk who wrecked a flying car
And it’s okay, it’s really great
'Cause I hate you, and so does Snape

We were teamed up in dueling class
And no one else believed that
I would knock you on your bum
Except for Snape, except for Snape

We didn’t know you talked to snakes
Which worked out alright in the end
No everyone is thinking you’re the heir of Slytherin
And it’s okay, it’s really great
'Cause I hate you, and now so does everyone else

So long self!

Well if I come across a little bit distant
It’s just because I am
Things just seem to feel a little bit different
You understand
Believe it or not but life is not apparently
About me anyways
But I have met the One who really is worthy
So let me say

So long, self
Well, it’s been fun, but I have found somebody else
So long, self
There’s just no room for two
So you are gonna have to move
So long, self
Don’t take this wrong but you are wrong for me, farewell
Oh well, goodbye, don’t cry
So long, self

Stop right there because I know what you’re thinking
But no we can’t be friends
And even though I know your heart is breaking
This has to end
And come to think of it the blame for all of this
Simply falls on me
For wanting something more in life than all of this
Can’t you see

So long, self
Well, it’s been fun, but I have found somebody else
So long, self
There’s just no room for two, so you are gonna have to move
So long, self
Don’t take this wrong, but you are wrong for me, farewell
Oh well, good-bye, don’t cry
So long

Don’t feel so bad (don’t feel so bad)
There’ll be better days (there’ll be better days)
Don’t go away mad (but by all means)
Just go away,go away

So long, self
Well, it’s been fun, but I have found somebody else
So long, self
There’s just no room for two, so you are gonna have to move
So long, self
Don’t take this wrong, but you are wrong for me, farewell
Oh well, good-bye, don’t cry
So long self
farewell, goodbye (so long self)
farewell, goodbye (so long self)
farewell, goodbye (so long self)
farewell, goodbye (so long self)
farewell, goodbye (so long self)

Green Day- Boulevard Of Broken Dreams

I walk a lonely road
The only one that I have ever known
Don’t know where it goes
But it’s home to me and I walk alone

I walk this empty street
On the Boulevard of Broken Dreams
Where the city sleeps
and I’m the only one and I walk alone

I walk alone
I walk alone

I walk alone
I walk a…

My shadow’s the only one that walks beside me
My shallow heart’s the only thing that’s beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
'Til then I walk alone

Ah-ah, Ah-ah, Ah-ah, Aaah-ah,
Ah-ah, Ah-ah, Ah-ah

I’m walking down the line
That divides me somewhere in my mind
On the border line
Of the edge and where I walk alone

Read between the lines
What’s fucked up and everything’s alright
Check my vital signs
To know I’m still alive and I walk alone

I walk alone
I walk alone

I walk alone
I walk a…

My shadow’s the only one that walks beside me
My shallow heart’s the only thing that’s beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
'Til then I walk alone

Ah-ah, Ah-ah, Ah-ah, Aaah-ah
Ah-ah, Ah-ah

I walk alone
I walk a…

I walk this empty street
On the Boulevard of Broken Dreams
Where the city sleeps
And I’m the only one and I walk a…

My shadow’s the only one that walks beside me
My shallow heart’s the only thing that’s beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
'Til then I walk alone…

Listening to Lenka at the moment. Here are a couple of songs from her album.

We Will Not Grow Old
by Lenka

You and me will be lying side by side
Forever, forever
Underneath this adolescent sky
Together, together
And you will hold my heart inside your hand
And you’ll be the one to tell me

Oh we’ve got a long, long way to go
To get there
We’ll get there
But oh, if there’s one thing that we know
It’s that we will not grow old

You made me swear that our hearts will never die
No never, no never
'Cause no one seems to believe that we can fly
Forget them, forget them
Oh…you told me

Oh we’ve got a long, long way to go
To get there
We’ll get there
But oh, if there’s one thing that we know
It’s that we will not grow old (x2)

Oh how could we know that day, it came with age
That oh, the feeling would fade…

Oh we’ve got a long, long way to go
To get there
We’ll get there
But oh, if there’s one thing that we know
It’s that we will not grow old (x2)

We will not grow old…

Dangerous And Sweet
by Lenka

It’s difficult to see from the surface.
But everything goes in and it stings,
like a spider.
Hits you deep inside and

Chorus:
I know that you are just like me, oversensitive.
Well I ordinarily breathe.
Taking everything for much more than it means.
Well it’s dangerous, and it’s sweet.
Cut us and we bleed.

All these words that we speak casually.
Well maybe im just weak, but it hurts me.
Everything you said x3
Well it cuts, like a knife
it hurts me deep inside and

Chorus

I should put on my armor the next time I see you
So I won’t be harmed. I know I can shoot my own arrows.
Im sorry I hurt you.
I know that like me you can be oversensitive.

Ba Ba Ba Ba Ba Ba Ba
Ba da Ba Ba Ba
Ba Ba Ba Ba Ba Ba Ba
Ba da Ba Ba Ba

Chorus

Yeah it’s dangerous and sweet.
Don’t you know it’s dangerous and it’s sweet?
Cut us and we bleed.

Carbon Based Lifeforms - Erratic Patterns

Look at the pattern
Can you see what’s wrong?
It’s supposed to be perfect
(But really it’s not)
But really it’s not.

Can you find the flaws
Hidden in structured code
Hiding in the pattern
In between the rows?

Only illogics can find
Hidden flaws in a straight logic line.
Only erratics recognize
Errors in patterns of a perfect design.
Only illogics can find
Hidden flaws in a straight logic line.
Only erratics recognize
Errors in patterns of a perfect design.

Now that you know
That something’s not right
Look at it carefully
In pale logic light.

Don’t be sorry
If you can’t recognize
The errors and faults
In such a perfect disguise.

Only illogics can find
Hidden flaws in a straight logic line.
Only erratics recognize
Errors in patterns of a perfect design.

Only illogics can find
Hidden flaws in a straight logic line.
Only erratics recognize
Errors in patterns of a perfect design.

One of my favorite songs…

“True Colours”
by Kalan Porter (feat. Theresa Sokyrka)

You with those sad eyes
Don’t be discouraged
Though I realize
It’s hard to take courage
In a world full of people
You can lose sight of it
And that darkness inside you makes you feel so small

But I see your true colors shining through
I see your true colors
That’s why I love you
So don’t be afraid to let them show
Your true colors, true colors
Are beautiful like a rainbow

Show me your smile
Don’t be unhappy
Can’t remember when
I last saw you laughing
If this world makes you crazy
And you’ve taken all you can bear
Just call me up because you know I’ll be there

And I see your true colors shining through
I see your true colors
That’s why I love you
So don’t be afraid to let them show
Your true colors, true colors
Are beautiful
Like a rainbow

You’re beautiful
I see your true colors
Just remember
If this world makes you crazy
And you’ve taken all you can bear
Just call me up because you know I’ll be there

And I see your true colors shining through
I see your true colors
That’s why I love you
So don’t be afraid to let them show
Your true colors, true colors
Are beautiful
Beautiful
Like a rainbow
Like a rainbow

You’re beautiful

Your true colors are beautiful

George Harrison - Art of Dying
From All Things Must Pass

I find the lyrics very profound. (The song’s good too)

There’ll come a time when all of us must leave here
Then nothing sister Mary can do
Will keep me here with you
As nothing in this life that I’ve been trying
Could equal or surpass the art of dying
Do you believe me?

There’ll come a time when all your hopes are fading
When things that seemed so very plain
Become an awful pain
Searching for the truth among the lying
And answered when you’ve learned the art of dying

But you’re still with me
But if you want it
Then you must find it
But when you have it
There’ll be no need for it

There’ll come a time when most of us return here
Brought back by our desire to be
A perfect entity
Living through a million years of crying
Until you’ve realized the Art of Dying
Do you believe me?

I WHO HAVE NOTHING

I, I who have nothing…

Verse I: Ikon

Intersections in real time
The unbroken circle and dimensions of the mind
The tie that binds
The eternal tie that defines
The vanity of my insanity in due time
Will shine
Like the night seas under the moon
The haunted corners of familiar rooms
Yet i’m consumed
We’re vanishing into thin air
The realization that this shit is my cross to bare
So where
Did I think I could run away to see
The people that decided to leave without asking me
But we
Decide to wait for happier tomorrows
And find someone so they can be distractions from our sorrows
But my distractions the books of paper that i scrawl in
I’m eloquent as summer breeze and leaves that have just fallen
I’ve crawl in a corner hoping all of this will end
With the knowledge that love is just another word for revenge
I who have nothing but the comfort of my sins
I who have nothing but the comfort of my friends

Chorus:

I, I who have nothing
I, I who have no one
I, I who have nothing
I, I who have no one

Verse II: Ikon

As I decay, demons prey above me like a vulture
Ability to endure contradiciton is a high sign of culture
Verbal sculptures, self defacing
It is not God or lunacy that I am facing
But the erasing of the purity and passion of my words
The herds of cattle babble on with talk of the absurd
But I preferred
To walk away from all the feuds
To find my life is more confusing than a rubic’s cube
So i’m subdued
In all my words of verbal prods
To live alone one must be an animal or a God
But it’s official
All of my pain is clear as crystal
The natural side of life has now been seeming artificial
But I can hit you
And rest assured that i’ma last words
I could give a fuck about your secrets and your past words
I can pass words and their ability to hurt you
Patience is a virtue and knowledge is a commercial
I who have nothing but the pain that I refer to
I who have nothing but the pain that I refer to

Chorus

Verse III: Ikon

Lost among the miracles, I stand alone
And i’ve grown into a being that’s sitting on top a throne
I’ve known
For many years that I would turn to rust
I find a reason for another breath
Before my return to dust
I become one with science and mathematics and the rising of the sun
I’m numb
To all of those who blind and cannot see
The chastiser of the enemy
Perception requires duality
Inspect ya soul, the color of coal inside the body
I have hardly come across them who’s holy
Send them to the cherubim to control thee
Burning of the sun and frigidness of the cold
The battle field is new but the war is now old
You can never see the merest shadow of a halo
Above the head of evil djin who’s deadly like tornado
The world has become an aquarium
Full of gaping fish with murderous smiles
I on the other hand stand on the outside looking in
Writing down murderous files
I who have nothing but the lack of variation
And I who have nothing but chains and suffocation

Chorus

Simon and Garfunkel - I Am A Rock
Song

A winter’s day
In a deep and dark December;
I am alone,
Gazing from my window to the streets below
On a freshly fallen silent shroud of snow.
I am a rock,
I am an island.

I’ve built walls,
A fortress deep and mighty,
That none may penetrate.
I have no need of friendship; friendship causes pain.
It’s laughter and it’s loving I disdain.
I am a rock,
I am an island.

Don’t talk of love,
Well, I’ve heard the word before.
It’s sleeping in my memory.
I won’t disturb the slumber of feelings that have died.
If I never loved I never would have cried.
I am a rock,
I am an island.

I have my books
And my poetry to protect me;
I am shielded in my armor,
Hiding in my room, safe within my womb.
I touch no one and no one touches me.
I am a rock,
I am an island.

And a rock feels no pain;
And an island never cries.

Syd Barrett - Terrapin
From: The Madcap Laughs

I really love you and I mean you
the star above you, crystal blue
Well, oh baby, my hairs on end about you…

I wouldn’t see you and I love to
I fly above you, yes I do
well, oh baby, my hairs on end about you…

Floating, bumping, noses dodge a tooth
the fins a luminous
fangs all 'round the clown
is dark below the boulders hiding all
the sunlight’s good for us
'Cause we’re the fishes and all we do
the move about is all we do
well, oh baby, my hairs on end about you…

Floating, bumping, noses dodge a tooth
the fins a luminous
fangs all 'round the clown
is dark below the boulders hiding all
the sunlight’s good for us
'Cause we’re the fishes and all we do
the move about is all we do
well, oh baby, my hairs on end about you…

I really love you and I mean you
the star above you, crystal blue
Well, oh baby, my hairs on end about you…

Eddie Vedder - Society (Into The Wild Soundtrack)

It’s a mystery to me
we have a greed
with which we have agreed:

You think you have to want
more than you need
until you have it all you won’t be free

Society, you’re a crazy breed
I hope you’re not lonely without me

When you want more than you have
you think you need
and when you think more than you want
your thoughts begin to bleed

I think I need to find a bigger place
'cos when you have more than you think
you need more space

Society, you’re a crazy breed
I hope you’re not lonely without me
Society, crazy and deep
I hope you’re not lonely without me

There’s those thinking more or less less is more
but if less is more how you’re keeping score?
Means for every point you make
your level drops
kinda like it’s starting from the top
you can’t do that…

Society, you’re a crazy breed
I hope you’re not lonely without me
Society, crazy and deep
I hope you’re not lonely without me

Society, have mercy on me
I hope you’re not angry if I disagree
Society, crazy and deep
I hope you’re not lonely without me

I’ve had this playing in my mind a lot :grin:

Both Sides, Now
Joni Mitchell

[i]
Rows and flows of angel hair
And ice cream castles in the air
And feather canyons everywhere
I’ve looked at clouds * that way

But now they only block the sun
They rain and snow on everyone
So many things I would have done
But clouds got in my way
I’ve looked at clouds from both sides now

From up and down, and still somehow
It’s cloud illusions I recall
I really don’t know clouds at all

Moons and Junes and Ferris wheels
The dizzy dancing way you feel
As ev’ry fairy tale comes real
I’ve looked at love that way

But now it’s just another show
You leave 'em laughing when you go
And if you care, don’t let them know
Don’t give yourself away

I’ve looked at love from both sides now
From give and take, and still somehow
It’s love’s illusions I recall
I really don’t know love at all

Tears and fears and feeling proud
To say “I love you” right out loud
Dreams and schemes and circus crowds
I’ve looked at life that way

But now old friends are acting strange
They shake their heads, they say I’ve changed
Well something’s lost, but something’s gained
In living every day

I’ve looked at life from both sides now
From win and lose and still somehow
It’s life’s illusions I recall
I really don’t know life at all
I’ve looked at life from both sides now
From up and down, and still somehow
It’s life’s illusions I recall
I really don’t know life at all

Fleetwood Mac - Gold Dust Woman
Album: Rumours

Rock on, gold dust woman
Take your silver spoon, dig your grave

Heartless challenge
Pick your path and I’ll pray

Wake up in the morning
See your sunrise loves to go down

Lousy lovers
Pick their prey but they never cry out loud
Cry out

Well, did she make you cry, make you break down,
Shatter your illusions of love
And is it over now, do you know how
Pick up the pieces and go home

Rock on ancient queen
Follow those who pale in your shadow

Rulers make bad lovers
You better put your kingdom up for sale
Up for sale

Well, did she make you cry
Make you break down
Shatter your illusions of love
Well, is it over now, do you know how
Pick up the pieces and go home
Well, did she make you cry
Make you break down
Shatter your illusions of love
And now tell me, is it over now, do you know how
To pick up the pieces and go home
Go home, and go home

Black shadow of a woman
Black widow
Pale shadow of a dragon
Death woman
Pale shadow of a woman
Black widow
Pale shadow, she’s a dragon
Death woman, woman, woman

“Firefly” by Owl City
sorry Ysim :tongue:

You would not believe your eyes
If ten million fireflies
Lit up the world as I fell asleep
Because they’d fill the open air
And leave teardrops everywhere
You’d think me rude but I’d just stand and stare

I’d like to make myself believe
That planet Earth turns slowly
It’s hard to say that I’d rather stay awake when I’m asleep
Because everything is never as it seems

Because I’d get a thousand hugs
From ten thousand lightning bugs
As they tried to teach me how to dance
A foxtrot above my head
A sockhop beneath my bed
A disco ball is just hanging by a thread

I’d like to make myself believe
That planet Earth turns slowly
It’s hard to say that I’d rather stay awake when I’m asleep
Because everything is never as it seems

When I fall asleep leave my door open just a crack
(Please take me away from here)
Because i feel like such an insomniac
(Please take me away from here)
Why do I tire of counting sheep
(Please take me away from here)
When I’m far too tired to fall asleep?

To ten million fireflies
I’m weird because I hate goodbyes
I got misty eyes as they said farewell
But I’ll know where several are
If my dreams get real bizarre
Because I saved a few and I keep them in a jar

I’d like to make myself believe
That planet Earth turns slowly
It’s hard to say that I’d rather stay awake when I’m asleep
Because everything is never as it seems

I’d like to make myself believe
That planet Earth turns slowly
It’s hard to say that I’d rather stay awake when I’m asleep
Because everything is never as it seems

I’d like to make myself believe
That planet Earth turns slowly
It’s hard to say that I’d rather stay awake when I’m asleep
Because my dreams are bursting at the seams

i like that song, i don’t care what anyone says.

…ok, i DOES sound an awful lot like Snow Patrol.

Neil Young - Sugar Mountain
Song: Here

Oh, to live on Sugar Mountain
With the barkers and the colored balloons,
You can’t be twenty on Sugar Mountain
Though you’re thinking that
you’re leaving there too soon,
You’re leaving there too soon.
It’s so noisy at the fair
But all your friends are there
And the candy floss you had
And your mother and your dad.
Oh, to live on Sugar Mountain
With the barkers and the colored balloons,
You can’t be twenty on Sugar Mountain
Though you’re thinking that
you’re leaving there too soon,
You’re leaving there too soon.
There’s a girl just down the aisle,
Oh, to turn and see her smile.
You can hear the words she wrote
As you read the hidden note.
Oh, to live on Sugar Mountain
With the barkers and the colored balloons,
You can’t be twenty on Sugar Mountain
Though you’re thinking that
you’re leaving there too soon,
You’re leaving there too soon.
Now you’re underneath the stairs
And you’re givin’ back some glares
To the people who you met
And it’s your first cigarette.
Oh, to live on Sugar Mountain
With the barkers and the colored balloons,
You can’t be twenty on Sugar Mountain
Though you’re thinking that
you’re leaving there too soon,
You’re leaving there too soon.
Now you say you’re leavin’ home
‘Cause you want to be alone.
Ain’t it funny how you feel
When you’re findin’ out it’s real?
Oh, to live on Sugar Mountain
With the barkers and the colored balloons,
You can’t be twenty on Sugar Mountain
Though you’re thinking that
you’re leaving there too soon,
You’re leaving there too soon.
Oh, to live on Sugar Mountain
with the barkers and the colored balloons,
You can’t be twenty on Sugar Mountain
Though you’re thinking that
you’re leaving there too soon,
You’re leaving there too soon.

John Lennon - Isolation

People say we got it made
Don’t they know we’re so afraid?
Isolation
We’re afraid to be alone
Everybody got to have a home
Isolation

Just a boy and a little girl
Trying to change the whole wide world
Isolation
The world is just a little town
Everybody trying to put us down
Isolation

I don’t expect you to understand
After you’ve caused so much pain
But then again, you’re not to blame
You’re just a human, a victim of the insane

We’re afraid of everyone
Afraid of the sun
Isolation
The sun will never disappear
But the world may not have many years
Isolation

John Lennon - Love

Love is real, real is love
Love is feeling, feeling love
Love is wanting to be loved

Love is touch, touch is love
Love is reaching, reaching love
Love is asking to be loved

Love is you
You and me
Love is knowing
We can be

Love is free, free is love
Love is living, living love
Love is needing to be loved
