The Black Crowes - She talks to angels

She never mentions the word addiction
In certain company
Yes, she'll tell you she's an orphan
After you meet her family

She paints her eyes as black as night now
Pulls those shades down tight
Yeah, she gives a smile when the pain come
The pain gonna make everything alright

Says she talks to angels
They call her out by her name
Oh yeah, she talks to angels
Says they call her out by her name

She keeps a lock of hair in her pocket
She wears a cross around her neck
Yes, the hair is from a little boy
And the cross is someone she has not met
Not yet

Says she talks to angels
Says they all know her name
Oh yeah, she talks to angels
Says they call her out by her name

She don't know no lover
None that I ever seen
Yeah, to her that ain't nothin'
But to me, yeah me
Means everything

She paints her eyes as black as night now
She pulls those shades down tight
Oh yeah, there's a smile when the pain comes
The pain gonna make everything alright
Alright, yeah heah

She talks to angels
Says they call her out by her name
Oh, yeah, heah, angels
Call her out by her name
Oh, ooh, oh, oh, angels
They call her out by her name

Oh, oh, oh, she talks to angels
They call her out
Yeah, ee, eah, eah, eah, eah
Call her out
Don't you know that they
Call her out by her name?

Jewel - Hands

If I could tell the world just one thing
It would be that we're all OK
And not to worry 'cause worry is wasteful
And useless in times like these
I won't be made useless
I won't be idle with despair
I will gather myself around my faith
For light does the darkness most fear
My hands are small, I know
But they're not yours, they are my own
But they're not yours, they are my own
And I am never broken
Poverty stole your golden shoes
It didn't steal your laughter
And heartache came to visit me
But I knew it wasn't ever after
We'll fight, not out of spite
For someone must stand up for what's right
'Cause where there's a man who has no voice
There ours shall go singing
My hands are small I know
But they're not yours, they are my own
But they're not yours, they are my own
I am never broken
In the end only kindness matters
In the end only kindness matters
I will get down on my knees, and I will pray
I will get down on my knees, and I will pray
I will get down on my knees, and I will pray
My hands are small I know
But they're not yours, they are my own
But they're not yours, they are my own
And I am never broken
My hands are small I know
But they're not yours, they are my own
But they're not yours, they are my own
And I am never broken
We are never broken
We are God's eyes
God's hands
God's mind
We are God's eyes
God's hands
God's heart
We are God's eyes
God's hands
God's eyes
We are God's hands
We are God's hands

Ian (Let him be immortal) Hunter - When I'm President

Mother I`m a stranger in a strange land
I feel like an alien
Like I'm on the outside looking in
I don't seem to fit in

Maybe I'm Aladdin with a rusty lamp
A Genie never stood a chance
To make all my wishes come true
But here’s what I want to do

I'm gonna lean on the 1%
When I'm President
I want a 20th Amendment
When I'm President

They're like thieves on a Holy Host
Digging up the mother lode
Like Pirates on the open sea
Like highway robbery

Still whining about your bonus
Man up, you’re ridiculous
Hell you can't take it with ya
So, give a little extra

I'm gonna lean on the 1%
When I’m President
No more bargains - in the basement
When I'm President

Washington - Jefferson
Watch out baby cause here I come
Abraham - Theodore
You know you'll see my ugly mug
Up on MOUNT RUSHMORE - YEAH

You go in with the right intent
When you become President
You hold those truths to be self-evident
When you become president

Cause somethin’ happens to you up on the hill
It's business as usual
How do you want to buck the system?
Welcome to the Pit and the Pendulum

I'm gonna lean on the 1%
When I'm President
No more 20th amendment
When I'm President

No more bargains in the basement
When I'm President
Everything's gonna be different
When I'm President

Veto this YEAH
Veto that YEAH
When I'm President
I'll stick it to the first class

Cross my heart
Hope to die
When I'm President
Pigs are gonna fly

Look at ‘em...

[McClane]

It's Over -- Level 42

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V2NNbcurjdM

I won't be here when you come home
I'm sorry if you don't understand, forgive me if you can
But I can see another road
And I ain't coming back

Don't look for me around this town
'cause I will be so far away, you'll never find me anywhere
And I won't take no souvenirs
No perfumed picture promises
Because it's over
And I ain't coming back

You gave me everything
And now I'm breaking your heart
You know that I don't mean
To tear your world apart

I would never leave if I thought you couldn't stand the pain
A letter in the hall
Is written on the wall
A letter with no words of love at all
Because it's over
And I ain't coming back

And as I close the door
I know I'm breaking your heart
I should have loved you more
Instead I've torn your world apart

And as I walk into the lonely afternoon
I feel sad enough
I feel bad enough
And all the times when you are lonely where you are
Please don't hate me then
I just could not pretend

Tears
Feel the tears
I can feel the tears
Running through the years

One of my all time music heroes

This is the song dedicated to his best friend, the late great Mick Ronson

MICHAEL PICASSO

Once upon a time
Not so long ago
People used to stand and stare
At the spider with the platinum hair
They thought you were immortal

We had our ups and downs
Like brothers often do
But I was there for him
He was always there for me
And we were there for you

How can I put into words
What my heart feels?
It’s the deepest thing
When somebody you love dies

I just wanted
To give something back to you
Gift to gift
Michael, michael picasso good night

You used to love our house
You said it was relaxing
Now I walk in the places you walk
I talk in all the spaces you talk
It still hasn’t sunk in

Are the words real
That come into my head
On a morning walk?
Do the shadows
Play tricks with my mind?

For it feels like
Nothing has changed
But I know it has
Michael, michael picasso
Good night

Heal me
Won’t you
Heal me?
Nothing lasts forever
Set me free

Heal me
Won’t you
Heal me?
I’m the one who’s left here
Heal me
Heal me
Heal me

You turned into a ghost
Surrounded by your pain
And the thing that I liked the least
Was sitting ’round hasker street
Lying about the future

And we all sit
In a room full of tears
On a windy day
And I looked out
But none of these words seem right

I just wanted
To give something back to you
Gift to gift
Michael, michael picasso
Good night





The perfect tribute

The Green Fields Of France.

The Fureys and Davey Arthur.

Written By Eric Bogle.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ntt3wy-L8Ok

Well, how do you do, young Willie McBride?
Do you mind if I sit here down by your graveside?
And rest for a while in the warm summer sun,
I've been walking all day, and I'm nearly done.
I see by your gravestone you were only 19
When you joined the great fallen in 1916,
I hope you died well and I hope you died clean
Or, Willie McBride, was it slow and obscene?

Did they beat the drum slowly, did they play the fife lowly?
Did they sound the death march as they lowered you down?
Did the band play The Last Post in chorus?
And did the pipes play the Flowers of the Forest?

Did you leave a wife or a sweetheart behind
In some faithful heart is your memory enshrined?
Although, you died back in 1916,
In that faithful heart are you forever 19?
Or are you a stranger without even a name,
Enclosed in forever behind the glass frame,
In an old photograph, torn, battered and stained,
And faded to yellow in a brown leather frame?

Did they beat the drum slowly, did they play the fife lowly?
Did they sound the death march as they lowered you down?
Did the band play The Last Post in chorus?
And did the pipes play the Flowers of the Forest?

The sun now it shines on the green fields of France;
There’s a warm summer breeze that makes the red poppies dance.
And look how the sun shines from under the clouds
There’s no gas, no barbed wire, there’s no guns firing now.
But here in this graveyard it’s still No Man's Land
The countless white crosses stand mute in the sand
To man's blind indifference to his fellow man.
To a whole generation that were butchered and damned.

Did they beat the drum slowly, did they play the fife lowly?
Did they sound the death march as they lowered you down?
Did the band play The Last Post in chorus?
And did the pipes play the Flowers of the Forest?

Ah young Willie McBride, I can’t help wonder why,
Do those that lie here know why did they die?
And did they believe when they answered the cause,
Did they really believe that this war would end wars?
Well the sorrow, the suffering, the glory, the pain,
The killing and dying, were all done in vain.
For Willie McBride, it all happened again,
And again, and again, and again, and again.

Did they beat the drum slowly, did they play the fife lowly?
Did they sound the death march as they lowered you down?
Did the band play The Last Post in chorus?
And did the pipes play the Flowers of the Forest?

Did they beat the drum slowly, did they play the fife lowly?
Did they sound the death march as they lowered you down?
Did the band play The Last Post in chorus?
And did the pipes play the Flowers of the Forest?

I really don't wanna say too much, my Mum was a big fan of Mark_Brzezickis' drumming and I must say the world could have done with a few more years of Stuart Adamsons' company - but this song unconditionally & disproportionally gets to me
Big Country - Chance

He came like a hero from the factory floor
With the sun and moon as gifts
But the only son you ever saw
Were the two he left you with

Oh Lord where did the feeling go
Oh Lord I never felt so low

Now the skirts hang so heavy around your head
That you never knew you were young
Because you played chance with a lifetime's romance
And the price was far too long

Oh Lord where did the feeling go
Oh Lord I never felt so low

Maria Mckee - To miss someone


I’ve been keeping busy since we’ve said goodbye
But all I do is think about you
The days are quick, the nights are long
I feel them tick, I watch them crawl
I’m petrified of running out of things to do
Though I’ve never really been in love
I know now what it means
To miss someone

I have not been winning since we’ve said goodbye
Nothing fits and everything feels wrong
I guess it’s useless to deny it
I’ll admit that I’ve been crying
Guess I’m not so independent after all
Though I’ve never really been in love
I know now what it means
To miss someone

Sometimes I dream we find each other in the night and pass each other by
But part of me is running through every vein inside of you

I know where you’re going
I know where you’ve been
I know everything about you
The walls inside my head will shake the very second that you break
I’d sell my soul to keep yours at my heel
Though I’ve never really been in love
I know now how it feels to miss someone

The album "Paper Monsters" got me through a tough time about 8 years ago, and there's something in this song, the simplicity or Dave Gahans' vocals that cut me to the quick.

Dave Gahan - Stay

She's softly breathing next to me
A shining angel sent to me
From where she came it's hard to say
Tiny star she guides my way

When we were lovers, We both discovered
Stay, you can leave tomorrow
Stay wait until tomorrow
Please stay

Living here in shades of grey
Colour she's light a reason to stay
From where she came it's hard to stay
Tiny star she guides my way

When we were lovers, We both discovered
Stay, you can leave tomorrow
Stay, wait until tomorrow
Please stay..,
Stay
