dear god(Music and Lyrics by Andy Partridge)
Dear God,
Hope you got the letter and
I pray you can make it better down here.
I don't mean a big reduction in the price of beer
But all the people that you made in your image,
See them starving on their feet
'Cause they don't get enough to eat
From God
I can't believe in you.Dear God,
Sorry to disturb you, but
I feel that I should be heard loud and clear.
We all need a big reduction in the amount of tears
And all the people that you made in your image,
See them fighting in the street
'Cause they can't make opinions meetAbout God,
I can't believe in you.Did you make disease, and the diamond blue?
Did you make mankind after we made you?
And the devil too?!Dear God,
Don't know if you noticed, but...
Your name is on a lot of quotes in this book,
Us crazy humans wrote it, you should take a look,
And all the people that you made in your image,
Still believing that junk is true
Well I know it ain't, and so do youDear God,
I can't believe in...
I don't believe in...I won't believe in heaven and hell.
No saints, no sinners, no devil as well.
No pearly gates, no thorny crown.
You're always letting us humans down.
The wars you bring, the babes you drown.
Those lost at sea and never found,
And it's the same the whole world 'round.
The hurt I see helps to compound
That Father, Son and Holy Ghost
Is just somebody's unholy hoax
And if you're up there you'd perceive
That my heart's here upon my sleeve.
If there's one thing I don't believe in.....It's you.....
Dear God.
i will remember you
2.23.00 grammy nominated and winner
for best female pop vocal performance.I will remember you
Will you remember me?
Don't let your life pass you by
Weep not for the memoriesRemember the good times that we had?
I let them slip away from us when things got bad
How clearly I first saw you smilin' in the sun
Wanna feel your warmth upon me, I wanna be the oneI will remember you
Will you remember me?
Don't let your life pass you by
Weep not for the memoriesI'm so tired but I can't sleep
Standin' on the edge of something much too deep
It's funny how we feel so much but we cannot say a word
We are screaming inside, but we can't be heardBut I will remember you
Will you remember me?
Don't let your life pass you by
Weep not for the memoriesI'm so afraid to love you, but more afraid to loose
Clinging to a past that doesn't let me choose
Once there was a darkness, deep and endless night
You gave me everything you had, oh you gave me lightAnd I will remember you
Will you remember me?
Don't let your life pass you by
Weep not for the memoriesAnd I will remember you
Will you remember me?
Don't let your life pass you by
Weep not for the memories
Weep not for the memories
fearMorning smiles
like the face of a newborn child,
innocent, unknowing.Winter's end
promises of a long lost friend.
Speaks to me of comfortBut I fear
I have nothing to give.
I have so much to loose here in this lonely place.
Tangled up in your embrace
There's there's nothing I'd like better than to fall.
But I fear I have nothing to give.Wind in time
Rapes the flower trembling on the vine
And nothing yields to shelter it from above.
The say temptation will destroy our love.
The never ending hungerBut I fear
I have nothing to give
I have so much to loose here in this lonely place
Tangled up in our embrace
Theres nothing I'd like better than to fall
But I fear I have nothing to give.
I have so much to loose.
I have nothing to give.
We have so much to lose...
gloomy sunday(Written by Carter / Lewis / Seress)
Sunday is Gloomy,
My hours are slumberless,
Dearest, the shadows I live with are numberless
Little white flowers will never awaken youNot where the black coach of sorrow has taken you
Angels have no thought of ever returning you
Would they be angry if I thought of joining you
Gloomy SundaySunday is gloomy
with shadows I spend it all
My heart and I have decided to end it all
Soon there'll be flowers and prayers that are sad,
I know, let them not weep,
Let them know that I'm glad to goDeath is no dream,
For in death I'm caressing you
With the last breath of my soul I'll be blessing you
Gloomy SundayDreaming
I was only dreaming
I wake and I find you
Asleep in the deep of
My heart
DearDarling I hope that my dream never haunted you
My heart is telling you how much I wanted you
Gloomy Sunday
full of graceThe winter here's cold, and bitter
it's chilled us to the bone
we haven't seen the sun for weeks
to long too far from home
I feel just like I'm sinking
and I claw for solid ground
I'm pulled down by the undertow
I never thought I could feel so low
oh darkness I feel like letting goIf all of the strength and all of the courage
come and lift me from this place
I know I could love you much better than this
full of grace
full of grace
my loveSo it's better this way, I said
having seen this place before
where everything we said and did
hurts us all the more
its just that we stayed, too long
in the same old sickly skin
I'm pulled down by the undertow
I never thought I could feel so low
oh darkness I feel like letting goIf all of the strength
and all of the courage
come and lift me from this place
I know I could love you much better than this
full of grace
full of grace
my love
song for a winter's night(Music and Lyrics by Gordon Lightfoot)
The lamp is burnin' low upon my table top
The snow is softly fallin'
The air is still within the silence of my room
I hear your voice softly callin'If I could only have you near
To breathe a sigh or two
I would be happy just to hold the hands I love
Upon this winter night with youThe smoke is rising in the shadows overhead
My glass is almost empty
I read again between the lines upon the page
The words of love you sent meIf I could know within my heart
That you were lonely too
I would be happy just to hold the hands I love
Upon this winter night with youThe fire is dying now, my lamp is growing dim
The shades of night are liftin'
The mornin' light steals across my windowpane
Where webs of snow are driftin'If I could only have you near
To breathe a sigh or two
I would be happy just to hold the hands I love
And to be once again with with you
To be once again with with you
blue(Music and Lyrics by Joni Mitchell)
Blue, songs are like tattoos
You know I've been to sea betore
Crown and anchor me
Or let me sail away
Blue, here is a song for you
Ink of a pin
Underneath the skin
An empty space to fill in
Well there're so many sinking now
You've got to keep thinking
You can make it thru these waves
Acid, booze, and ass
Needles, guns, and grass
Lots of laughs, lots of laughs
Well everybody's saying that hell's the hippest way to go
Well I don't think so
But I'm gonna take a look around it though
Blue, I love you.Blue, here is a shell for you
Inside you'll hear a sigh
A foggy lullaby
There is your song from me.
drawn to rhythmwhen we wore a heart of stone we wandered to the sea
hoping to find some comfort there yearning to feel free
and we were mesmerized by the lull of the night and the smells that filled the air
and we laid us down on sandy ground it was cold but we didn't care
(chorus)
and we were drawn to the rhythm
drawn to the rhythm of the sea
and we were drawn to the rhythm
drawn to the rhythm of the sea
we fell asleep and began to dream when something broke the night
memories stirred inside of us the struggle and the fight
and we could feel the heat of a thousand voices telling us which way to go
and we cried out is there no escape from the words that plague us so
chorus
in the still and silent dawn another day is born
washed up by the tireless waves the body bent and torn
when you wake in the face of the blinding sun and you search only to find
that heaven is a stranger place than what you've left behind
chorus
shelterthey're crowded into the smallest spaces
while outside all of nature cries
it's known to be cruel and unfair
but there is no place to hide
oh I've seen a part of people that I never really want to share
oh I've seen a part of people that I never knew was there
(chorus)
shelter - give them shelter from the coming storm
shelter - give them shelter from the coming storm
I can't sleep haunted by their faces
the sadness in their eyes
it hurts so much to see them helpless
it makes me want to cry
but still there is so much left unanswered
for so many innocent lives
they close the doors and are letting nobody in
and only the strong will survive
chorus
I've seen the anger and I've seen all the dreams
and I've watched an existence torn apart by the seams
and though I may seem helpless
I will do all that I can do
oh I've seen a part of people that I never really want to share
oh I've seen a part of people that I never knew was there
chorus
as the end draws near(Music and Lyrics by: Bathwell/Geyer/McLachlan)
[Chorus]:
Into the valleys
The shadow of death
Griefs silently across the darkened sea
This is it
We stand aloneWe can see it all from here
The starless night across the mountain side
No one left to talk to
There's nothing left to say[Chorus]
You and me
We stand alone
We can see it all from here
Stretched far and wideThe barren skies
Fighting a silence
From deep inside[Chorus]
[Repeats verse 2]
Into the valleys
The shadow of death
Griefs silently it's in you and me
It's in you and me
voxin the desert of my dreams I saw you there
and I'm walking towards the water steaming body cold and bare
but your words cut loose the fire and you left my soul to bleed
and the pain that's in your truth's deceiving me, has got me scared
oh why?
through your eyes the strains of battle like a brooding storm
your up and down these pristine velvet walls like focus never forms
my walls are getting wider and my eyes are drawn astray
I see you now a vague deception of a dying day
oh why?
I fall into the water and once more I turn to you
and the crowds were standing staring faceless cutting off my view to you
they start to limply flail their bodies in a twisted mime
and I'm lost inside this tangled web in which I'm lain entwined
you're gone and I'm lost inside this tangled web in which I'm lain entwined
oh why?
into the fire
mother teach me to walk again
milk and honey so intoxicating
(chorus)
and into the fire
I'm reunited
into the fire
I am the spark
into the fire
I yearn for comfort
open the doors that lead on in to Eden
don't want no cheap disguise
I follow the signs marked back to the beginning
no more compromise
chorus
free the water that carries me to the sea
you I see as my security
chorus
I will stare into the sun until its light doesn't blind me
I will walk into the fire until its heat doesn't burn me
and I will feed the fire
chorus
Listen as the wind blows
from across the great divide,
Voices trapped in yearning,
memories trapped in time,
The night is my companion
and solitude my guide,
Would I spend forever here
and not be satisfied?And I would be the one
to hold you down,
kiss you so hard,
I'll take your breath away
and after I'd wipe away the tears,
Just close your eyes dearThrough this world I've stumbled
so many times betrayed,
Trying to find an honest word,
to find the truth enslaved,
Oh you speak to me in riddles
and you speak to me in rhyme
My body aches to breathe your breath,
your words keep me alive,And I would be the one
to hold you down,
kiss you so hard,
I'll take your breath away
and after I'd wipe away the tears,
Just close your eyes dearInto this night I wander,
it's the morning that I dread,
Another day of knowing of
the path I fear to tread,
Oh into the sea of waking dreams
I follow without pride,
Nothing stands between us here
and I won't be deniedAnd I would be the one
to hold you down,
kiss you so hard,
I'll take your breath away
and after I'd wipe away the tears,
Just close your eyes dear
