Losing My Religion
REM

Life is bigger
Its bigger than you
And you are not me
The lengths that I will go to
The distance in your eyes
Oh no Ive said too much
I set it up

Thats me in the corner
Thats me in the spotlight
Losing my religion
Trying to keep up with you
And I dont know if I can do it
Oh no Ive said too much
I havent said enough
I thought that I heard you laughing
I thought that I heard you sing
I think I thought I saw you try

Every whisper
Of every waking hour im
Choosing my confessions
Trying to keep an eye on you
Like a hurt lost and blinded fool
Oh no Ive said too much
I set it up

Consider this
The hint of the century
Consider this
The slip that brought me
To my knees failed
What if all these fantasies
Come flailing around
Now Ive said too much
I thought that I heard you laughing
I thought that I heard you sing
I think I thought I saw you try

But that was just a dream
That was just a dream

[InLove]

There's a place for us--
Somewhere a place for us...
Peace and quiet and open air
Wait for us
Somewhere.

There's a time for us--
Some day a time for us...
Time together with time spare,
Time to learn, time to care,
Some day...

Somewhere.
We'll find a new way of living,
We'll find a way of forgiving
Somewhere...

There's a place for us,
A time and place for us.
Hold my hand and we're halfway there.
Hold my hand and I'll take you there
Somehow,
Some day,
Somewhere....

(I like the version by Celtic Woman)

I like your versions.

Creed - Arms Wide Open....... (I love playing this on my guitar...)


Well I just heard
The news today
It seems my life
Is gonna change
I close my eyes
Begin to pray
Then tears of joy
Stream down my face.....

With arms wide open
Under the sunlight
Welcome to this place
I'll show you everything
With arms wide open
With arms wide open

Well I don't know
If I'm ready
To be the man
I have to be
I take a breath
I take her by my side
We stand in awe
We've created life

With arms wide open
Under the sunlight
Welcome to this place
I'll show you everything
With arms wide open
Now everything has changed

I'll show you love
I'll show you everything
With arms wide open
With arms wide open
I'll show you everything
Ah yeah

With arms wide open
Wide open

*crazy guitar solo*

If I had just one wish
Only one demand
I hope he's not like me
I hope he understands
That he can take his life
And hold it by the hand
And he can greet the world
With arms wide open

With arms wide open
Under the sunlight
Welcome to this place
I'll show you everything
With arms wide open
Now everything has changed
I'll show you love
I'll show you everything

With arms wide open!
With arms wide open
I'll show you everything
Ah yeah
With arms wide open
Wide open....

Deliver Me

Deliver me, out of my sadness.
Deliver me, from all of the madness.
Deliver me, courage to guide me.
Deliver me, strength from inside me.

All of my life I've been in hiding.
Wishing there was someone just like you.
Now that you're here, now that I've found you,
I know that you're the one to pull me through.


Deliver me, loving and caring.
Deliver me, giving and sharing.
Deliver me, the cross that I'm bearing.


All of my life I was in hiding.
Wishing there was someone just like you.
Now that you're here, now that I've found you,
I know that you're the one to pull me through.


Deliver me,
Deliver me,
Oh deliver me.


All of my life I was in hiding.
Wishing there was someone just like you.
Now that you're here, now that I've found you,
I know that you're the one to pull me through.


Deliver me,
Oh deliver me.
Won't you deliver me.

"I Just Called To Say I Love You"

No New Year's Day to celebrate
No chocolate covered candy hearts to give away
No first of spring
No song to sing
In fact here's just another ordinary day

No April rain
No flowers bloom
No wedding Saturday within the month of June
But what it is, is something true
Made up of these three words that I must say to you

I just called to say I love you
I just called to say how much I care
I just called to say I love you
And I mean it from the bottom of my heart

No summer's high
No warm July
No harvest moon to light one tender August night
No autumn breeze
No falling leaves
Not even time for birds to fly to southern skies

No Libra sun
No Halloween
No giving thanks to all the Christmas joy you bring
But what it is, though old so new
To fill your heart like no three words could ever do

I just called to say I love you
I just called to say how much I care, I do
I just called to say I love you
And I mean it from the bottom of my heart

I just called to say I love you
I just called to say how much I care, I do
I just called to say I love you
And I mean it from the bottom of my heart, of my heart,
of my heart

I just called to say I love you
I just called to say how much I care, I do
I just called to say I love you
And I mean it from the bottom of my heart, of my heart,
baby of my heart

Also Norman Greenbaum - Spirit in the Sky. (lol this song makes me smile.)

[InLove]

(I like "SITS", too, Angel. I think if the music had not come into or "out to" play on that one, it might not have been played so much. One can only wonder about those one-hit wonders.)

Apologies to all if this is already here somewhere...just gotta do it!


59th Street Bridge Song (Feelin' Groovy)


Slow down, you move too fast.
You got to make the morning last.
Just kicking down the cobble stones.
Looking for fun and feelin' groovy.

Ba da, Ba da, Ba da, Ba da...Feelin' Groovy.

Hello lamp-post,
What cha knowin'?
I've come to watch your flowers growin'.
Ain't cha got no rhymes for me?
Doot-in' doo-doo,
Feelin' groovy.

I've got no deeds to do,
No promises to keep.
I'm dappled and drowsy and ready to sleep.
Let the morning time drop all its petals on me.
Life, I love you,
All is groovy.


Simon/Garfunkel ? I know they performed it. Not sure about authorship.

Mind Games by: John Lennon

We're playing those mind games together,
Pushing barriers, planting seeds,
Playing the mind guerilla,
Chanting the Mantra peace on earth,
We all been playing mind games forever,
Some kinda druid dudes lifting the veil.
Doing the mind guerilla,
Some call it the search for the grail,

Love is the answer and you know that for sure,
Love is flower you got to let it, you got to let it grow,
So keep on playing those mind games together,
Faith in the future outta the now,
You just can't beat on those mind guerillas,
Absolute elsewhere in the stones of your mind,
Yeah we're playing those mind games forever,
Projecting our images in space and in time,

Yes is the answer and you know that for sure,
Yes is the surrender you got to let it, you got to let it go,
So keep on playing those mind games together,
Doing the ritual dance inn the sun,
Millions of mind guerrillas,
Putting their soul power to the karmic wheel,
Keep on playing those mind games forever,
Raising the spirit of peace and love, not war

[InLove]

Bud’s Sea-Mint Boat

He lived his life a civil service man
Designing toilets for the space program
He believed if we could go to the moon
There’s nothing on earth a man can’t do

So he ordered a ton of sand and clay
In his front yard he built a frame
Most folks said it’ll never float
Still they came to see Bud’s cement boat

A dream is anything that you want it to be
For some it’s fame and fortune but for others concrete
Sometimes you just gotta follow your heart
No matter where it leads

He gave up fishing and most of his friends
Worked all night and every weekend
But he didn’t mind the sacrifice
Cause he’d build a boat that’s one of a kind

Well the neighbors thought it was a real eyesore
They’d say hey Bud what are ya building that for
And knowing they would never understand
He’d just smile and say because I can

Well he got laid off in seventy-four
And they don’t go to the moon anymore
But down around the Alabama coast
She still floats Bud’s Sea-Mint boat

What a Wonderful World by: Louis Armstrong


I see trees of green........ red roses too
I see em bloom..... for me and for you
And I think to myself.... what a wonderful world.

I see skies of blue..... clouds of white
Bright blessed days....dark sacred nights
And I think to myself .....what a wonderful world.

The colors of a rainbow.....so pretty in the sky
Are also on the faces.....of people going by
I see friends shaking hands.....sayin how do you do
Theyre really sayin......i love you.

I hear babies cry...... I watch them grow
Theyll learn much more.....than Ill never know
And I think to myself .....what a wonderful world

The colors of a rainbow.....so pretty in the sky
Are there on the faces.....of people going by
I see friends shaking hands.....sayin how do you do
Theyre really sayin.....(I ....love....you).

I hear babies cry...... I watch them grow
(you know their gonna learn A whole lot more than Ill never know)
And I think to myself .....what a wonderful world
Yes I think to myself .......what a wonderful world.

[Pathless]

Ever hear The Ramones do that Louis Armstrong classic? Or maybe it's just Joey Ramone, minus the others. Whatever, it's flippin' awesome, will make you smile, smile, smile.

Here's one from a band I've recently discovered. Psi Com is a band that Jane's Addiction/Porno For Pyros/The Satellite Party frontman (and party DJ), Perry Farrell cut some of his teeth on. Their 1985 record features mathematical, edgy song structures, with surprisingly mid-range/low vocals by Farrell.

Ho Ka Hey*

The medicine wheel is home and pasture
Goes by ecological disaster
Could have been lovers but the facts remain
There's a right wing palace in a sick terrain
One end burns, one end freezes
The unlearned hold onto neither
The bows expand and the bows regress
When the answer comes before the lesson
Oh, what a day, what a day it is
Yeah, it's a fine day... a fine day
For a valedictory
Something simple, yeah
All the brave men say...
Ho Ka Hey!
Ho Ka Hey!
Ho Ka Hey!
Ho Ka Hey!
Serpent's tail is long and sweet
She is, I am what we eat
The path we walk is not so straight
And there is no end to the figure 8
What a day, what a day it is
Yeah, it's a fine day... a fine day
Something simple, yeah
All the brave men say...
Ho Ka Hey!
Ho Ka Hey!
Ho Ka Hey!
Ho Ka Hey!
Ho Ka Hey!
Ho Ka Hey!
Ho Ka Hey!
Ho Ka Hey!

(and on like that)

++++++++++++++++++++++++++

from what I can gather, Ho Ka Hey is the war cry of the Lakota (Sioux), meaning "Let's Go--Now!"

--P

It's just Joey Ramone. I looked it up on you tube, lol. Great version, too. Smile, smile, smile!!

I think I still like Lous Armstrongs version better, but that could be because I think he's awsome, haha.


Here's some more by him: "Hello Brother"


A man wants to work...for his pay
A man wants a place...in the sun
A man wants a gal proud to say
That shell become his lovin wife
He wants a chance to give his kids a better life
Well hello ah.... hello brother

You can travel all around the world and back
You can fly or sail or ride a railroad track
But no matter where you go youre gonna find
That people have the same things on their minds

A man wants to work...for his pay
A man wants a place...in the sun
A man wants a gal...proud to say
That shell become...his lovin wife
He wants a chance to give his kids a better life
Well hello brother, hello

(instrumental break)

He wants a chance to give his kids a better life, yes
Well hello, hello, brother hello
I said hello, hello, brother hello

Song of the Dispossessed
lyrics by Brendan Perry



The river is deep and the road is long,
Daylight comes and I want to go home.

Awoke this morning
To find my peoples tongues were tied
And in my dreams
They were given books to poison their minds.

The river is deep and the mountain high,
How long before the other side.

We are their mortar,
Their building bricks and their clay.
Their gold teeth mirror
Both our joys and our pain.

The river is deep and the ocean wide,
Who will teach us how to read the signs.

The earth is our mother
She taught us to embrace the light,
Now the lord is master
She suffers an eternal night.

You blocked up my ears,
You plucked out my eyes,
You cut out my tongue,
You fed me with lies,

Oh lord.

[-James-]

Decent lyrics and one of my favorite songs.. . ..


High Head Blues by: The Black Crowes


Sometimes I have a ghetto in my mind
Other times sunshine high head fine
In between I get cold, old mean
Intertwined with country pride open and kind
This draws a line
Sorry to coin a phrase
On either side is wisdom and rage
So keeping track of time
Racing with my age
Sleeping with the snakes
Forget that you showed up late
It ain't worth it baby

Chorus:

A charmed life it is
At least they tell you so
I got a good idea
It ain't like they say is so
And if it is then let me go
Let me go

Any day there might be hell to pay
But in other ways
It makes it seem ok
I'll tell you what I mean
It's not a plot nor a scheme
It's just peace in my mind
Again can I use the word kind
I ain't sorry about it baby
