an old song I can't get out of my mind:
IS THAT ALL THERE IS?
Peggy Lee
SPOKEN:
I remember when I was a very little girl, our house caught on fire.
I'll never forget the look on my father's face as he gathered me up
in his arms and raced through the burning building out to the pavement.
I stood there shivering in my pajamas and watched the whole world go up in flames.
And when it was all over I said to myself, "Is that all there is to a fire"
SUNG:
Is that all there is, is that all there is
If that's all there is my friends, then let's keep dancing
Let's break out the booze and have a ball
If that's all there is
SPOKEN:
And when I was 12 years old, my father took me to a circus, the greatest show on earth.
There were clowns and elephants and dancing bears.
And a beautiful lady in pink tights flew high above our heads.
And so I sat there watching the marvelous spectacle.
I had the feeling that something was missing.
I don't know what, but when it was over,
I said to myself, "is that all there is to a circus?
SUNG:
Is that all there is, is that all there is
If that's all there is my friends, then let's keep dancing
Let's break out the booze and have a ball
If that's all there is
SPOKEN:
Then I fell in love, head over heels in love, with the most wonderful boy in the world.
We would take long walks by the river or just sit for hours gazing into each other's eyes.
We were so very much in love.
Then one day he went away and I thought I'd die, but I didn't,
and when I didn't I said to myself, "is that all there is to love?"
SUNG:
Is that all there is, is that all there is
If that's all there is my friends, then let's keep dancing
SPOKEN:
I know what you must be saying to yourselves,
if that's the way she feels about it why doesn't she just end it all?
Oh, no, not me. I'm in no hurry for that final disappointment,
for I know just as well as I'm standing here talking to you,
when that final moment comes and I'm breathing my lst breath, I'll be saying to myself
SUNG:
Is that all there is, is that all there is
If that's all there is my friends, then let's keep dancing
Let's break out the booze and have a ball
If that's all there is
IS THAT ALL THERE IS?

New Order - Bizarre Love Triangle
Every time i think of you
I feel shot right through with a bolt of blue
It's no problem of mine
But it's a problem i find
Living a life that i can't leave behind
But there's no sense in telling me
The wisdom of the fool won't set you free
But that's the way that it goes
And it's what nobody knows
Well every day my confusion grows
Every time i see you falling
I get down on my knees and pray
I'm waiting for that final moment
You say the words that i can't say
I feel fine and i feel good
I'm feeling like i never should
Whenever i get this way
I just don't know what to say
Why can't we be ourselves like we were yesterday
I'm not sure what this could mean
I don't think you're what you seem
I do admit to myself
That if i hurt someone else
Then i'll never see just what we're meant to be
Every time i see you falling
I get down on my knees and pray
I'm waiting for that final moment
You say the words that i can't say
Every time i think of you
I feel shot right through with a bolt of blue
It's no problem of mine
But it's a problem i find
Living a life that i can't leave behind
But there's no sense in telling me
The wisdom of the fool won't set you free
But that's the way that it goes
And it's what nobody knows
Well every day my confusion grows
Every time i see you falling
I get down on my knees and pray
I'm waiting for that final moment
You say the words that i can't say
I feel fine and i feel good
I'm feeling like i never should
Whenever i get this way
I just don't know what to say
Why can't we be ourselves like we were yesterday
I'm not sure what this could mean
I don't think you're what you seem
I do admit to myself
That if i hurt someone else

Hoobastank - The Reason
I'm not a perfect person
As many things I wish I didn't do
But I continue learning
I never meant to do those things to you
And so I have to say before I go
That I just want you to know
I've found a reason for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
And the reason is you
I'm sorry that I hurt you
It's something I must live with everyday
And all the pain I put you through
I wish that I could take it all away
And be the one who catches all your tears
That's why I need you to hear
I've found a resaon for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
And the reason is you
And the reason is you
And the reason is you
And the reason is you
I'm not a perfect person
I never meant to do those things to you
And so I have to say before I go
That I just want you to know
I've found a reason for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
And the reason is you
I've found a reason to show
A side of me you didn't know
A reason for all that I do
And the reason is you
I'm not a perfect person
As many things I wish I didn't do
But I continue learning
I never meant to do those things to you
And so I have to say before I go
That I just want you to know
I've found a reason for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
And the reason is you
I'm sorry that I hurt you

Hoobastank Lyrics
Crawling In The Dark Lyrics
I will dedicate
And sacrifice my everything for just a second's worth
Of how my story's ending
And I wish I could know if the directions that I take
And all the choices that I make won't end up all for nothing
Show me what it's for
Make me understand it
I've been crawling in the dark looking for the answer
Is there something more than what i've been handed?
I've been crawling in the dark looking for the answer
Help me carry on
Assure me it's ok to use my heart and not my eyes
To navigate the darkness
Will the ending be ever coming suddenly?
Will I ever get to see the ending to my story?
Show me what it's for
Make me understand it
I've been crawling in the dark looking for the answer
Is there something more than what i've been handed?
I've been crawling in the dark looking for the answer
So when and how will I know?
How much further do I have to go?
How much longer until I finally know?
Because I'm looking and I just can't see what's in front of me
In front of me
Show me what it's for
Make me understand it
I've been crawling in the dark looking for the answer
Is there something more than what i've been handed?
I've been crawling in the dark looking for the answer

Awesome Lyrics!
Yellowcard - One year, six months
Sew this up with threads of reason and regret
So I will not forget. I will not forget
How this felt one year six months ago
I know I cannot forget. I cannot forget
I'm falling into memories of you and things we used to do
Follow me there
A beautiful somewhere
A place that I can share with you
I can tell that you don't know me anymore
It's easy to forget, sometimes we just forget
And being on this road is anything but sure
Maybe we'll forget, I hope we don't forget
I'm falling into memories of you and things we used to do
Follow me there
A beautiful somewhere
A place that I can share with you
So many nights, legs tangled tight
Wrap me up in a dream with you
Close up these eyes, try not to cry
All that I've got to pull me through is memories of you
Memories of you
Memories of you
Memories of you
I'm falling into memories of you and things we used to do
Follow me there
A beautiful somewhere
A place that we can share
Falling into memories of you and things we used to do

The Seahorses - Hello
I know the wind and the rain and the lightning
And the thunder's filled my brain
Have I changed? I'm asking you
All I know is the sun and it's shining
Way above my cloud so high it can't be found
We all look around
For the times we left behind
Oh well nevermind, I'll take you there tomorrow
And I'm sorry if I seem to always let my spleen
It's not the path I choose to follow...
So hello
And I hope you're still my friend
I think I'm on the mend
And you know I don't mean to offend
I wish we all could fly
All I know is the sun and it's shining
Way above my cloud
So high...it can't be found
I know the wind and the rain and the lightning
And the thunder's filled my brain
Have I changed? I'm asking you
All I know is the sun and it's shining
Way above my cloud so high it can't be found
We all look around
For the times we left behind
Oh well nevermind, I'll take you there tomorrow
And I'm sorry if I seem to always let my spleen
It's not the path I choose to follow...
So hello
And I hope you're still my friend
I think I'm on the mend
And you know I don't mean to offend
I wish we all could fly
All I know is the sun and it's shining
Way above my cloud
So high...it can't be found

Both Sides Now
by Judy Collins
Bows 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's illusions I recall
I really don't know clouds at all
Moons and Junes and ferris wheels the dizzy dancing way you feel
As every fairy tale comes real, I've looked at love that way
But now it's just another show, you leave 'em laughin 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
But 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

Too cute for words
THESE DAYS
Jackson Browne
Well I've been out walking
I don't do that much talking these days
These days--
These days I seem to think a lot
About the things that I forgot to do
For you
And all the times I had the chance to
And I had a lover
It's so hard to risk another these days
These days--
Now if I seem to be afraid
To live the life I have made in song
Well it's just that I've been losing so long
I'll keep on moving
Things are bound to be improving these days
One of these days--
These days I sit on corner stones
And count the time in quarter tones to ten, my friend
Don't confront me with my failures
I had not forgotten them
Jackson Browne
Well I've been out walking

Finger Eleven - One Thing
Restless tonight
Cause I wasted the light
Between both these times
I drew a really thin line
It’s nothing I planned
And not that I can
But you should be mine
Across that line
If I traded it all
If I gave it all away for one thing
Just for one thing
If I sorted it out
If I knew all about this one thing
Wouldn’t that be something
I promise I might
Not walk on by
Maybe next time
But not this time
Even though I know
I don’t want to know
Yeah I guess I know
I just hate how it sounds
Restless tonight
Cause I wasted the light
Between both these times
I drew a really thin line
It’s nothing I planned
And not that I can
But you should be mine
Across that line
If I traded it all
If I gave it all away for one thing
Just for one thing
If I sorted it out
If I knew all about this one thing
Wouldn’t that be something
I promise I might
Not walk on by
Maybe next time
But not this time

I don’t want to know

The Bluetones - Slight Return
Where did you go
when things went wrong for you,
when the knives came out for you?
Where did you go?
All you needed was a friend.
You just have to ask and then.......
you don't have to have the solution,
you've got to understand the problem,
and don't go hoping for a miracle.
All this will fade away
so i'm coming home.
What did you learn,
locked away all on your own,
chance and your head all blown
What did you learn,
It was unfortunate,
you missed you chance to find out that
you don't have to have the solution,
you've got to understand the problem,
and don't go hoping for a miracle.
All this will fade away
so i'm coming home
Where did you go
when things went wrong for you,

Where did you go?

The Bluetones - Cut Some Rug
Seems like you’re always a million miles away.
As far as I’m concerned that’s where you can stay.
But all the time I’m reminded.
Used to be a time we had a lot in common.
But now as far as I can see that’s something coming, yeah, yeah.
And all the time you’re behind me.
And all the time you remind me.
Of Blitzkrieg and the doodlebug.
Salt upon a bubbling slug.
You say "I can talk to you any time, but I just wanna cut some rug."
Turn yourself away and you shrug and say that "I can talk any time."
It’s easy living in a bubble.
No complication or trouble.
But it’s hard to have responsibility.
And judging by you, a personality.
And all the time you remind me.
Of Blitzkrieg and the doodlebug.
Salt upon a bubbling slug.
You say "I can talk to you any time, but I just wanna cut some rug."
Turn yourself away and you shrug and say that "I can talk any time."
And all the time you remind me.

You say "I can talk to you any time, but I just wanna cut some rug."
Turn yourself away and you shrug and say "I can talk any time."

"Any time."
"Any time."

"Any time."
Seems like you’re always a million miles away.
As far as I’m concerned that’s where you can stay.
But all the time I’m reminded.
Used to be a time we had a lot in common.
But now as far as I can see that’s something coming, yeah, yeah.
And all the time you’re behind me.
And all the time you remind me.
Of Blitzkrieg and the doodlebug.

You say "I can talk to you any time, but I just wanna cut some rug."
Turn yourself away and you shrug and say that "I can talk any time."
It’s easy living in a bubble.
No complication or trouble.
But it’s hard to have responsibility.
And judging by you, a personality.
And all the time you remind me.

Oasis - Half the World Away
I would like to leave this city
This old town don't smell too pretty and
I can feel the warning signs running around my mind
And when I leave this island I'll book myself into a soul asylum
Cos I can feel the warning signs running around my mind
So here I go, I'm still scratching around the same old hole
My body feels young but my mind is very old
So what do you say?
You can give me the dreams that are mine anyway
You're half the world away
Half the world away
Half the world away
Half the world away
I've been lost, I've been found but I don't feel down.
And when I leave this planet
You know I'd stay but I just can't stand it and
I can feel the warning signs running around my mind
And if I could leave this spirit I'd find me a hole and I'll live in it 'cos
I can feel the warning signs running around my mind
So here I go still scratching around in the same old hole
My body feels young but my mind is very old
So what do you say?
You can give me the dreams that are mine anyway
You're half the world away
Half the world away
Half the world away
Half the world away
I've been lost, I've been found but I don't feel down
No I don't feel down
No I don't feel down
I don't feel down
I don't feel down
I don't feel down
I don't feel down

Green Day - Basket Case
Do you have the time to listen to me whine
About nothing and everything all at once
I am one of those
Melodramatic fools
Neurotic to the bone
No doubt about it
Sometimes I give myself the creeps
Sometimes my mind plays tricks on me
It all keeps adding up
I think I'm cracking up
Am I just paranoid
Or am I just stoned?
I went to a shrink
To analyze my dreams
she says it's lack of sex that's bringing me down
I went to a whore
she said my life's a bore
So quit my whining cause it's bringing her down
Sometimes I give myself the creeps
Sometimes my mind plays tricks on me
It all keeps adding up
I think I'm cracking up
Am I just paranoid
Or am I jus stoned?
Grasping to control
So I better hold on
Sometimes I give myself the creeps
Sometimes my mind plays tricks on me
It all keeps adding up
I think I'm cracking up
Am I just paranoid
Or am I just stoned?
Do you have the time to listen to me whine

Olivia Newton John and Gene Kelly - Whenever You're Away From Me
No other face would take you off my mind
You're so refined
You're much too kind
I have to warn you i'm never gonna set you free
'cause i was born to
Love you for eternity
Whenever you're away from me
Wherever you go
You're never far away from me
I want you to know
I only have to close my eyes dear
And suddenly i'm where you are
You better never stray
Cos i'll never be far away
On every breeze i seem to hear your name
My heart's aflame
I feel the same
I'd fall apart dear if you let the feelin' end
Don't break a heart dear that nobody else could mend
Whenever you're away from me
Wherever you go
You're never far away from me
I want you to know
I only have to close my eyes dear
And suddenly i'm where you are
You better never stray
Cos i'll never be far away
No other face would take you off my mind
You're so refined
You're much too kind
I have to warn you i'm never gonna set you free
'cause i was born to
Love you for eternity
Whenever you're away from me
Wherever you go
You're never far away from me
I want you to know
I only have to close my eyes dear
And suddenly i'm where you are
You better never stray
Cos i'll never be far away
On every breeze i seem to hear your name
My heart's aflame
I feel the same
I'd fall apart dear if you let the feelin' end
Don't break a heart dear that nobody else could mend
Whenever you're away from me
Wherever you go
You're never far away from me
I want you to know
I only have to close my eyes dear
And suddenly i'm where you are
You better never stray
Cos i'll never be far away

i've been having a problem with my toddlers digging for nose goblins...it brought back an old memory of this song, which i have been stuck on the first verse...thought you all might enjoy it.
Don't Put Your Finger Up Your Nose
(Barry Louis Polisar)
Don't stick your finger up your nose
'Cause your nose knows it's not the place it goes
You can sniffle
You can sneeze
But I'm asking you please
Don't stick your finger up your nose
Don't stick your finger in your ear
'Cause your ear will find it very hard to hear
You can thump it and
You can tug it
But please don't plug it
Don't stick your finger in your ear
Don't stick your finger in your eye
That's not the kinda thing that you should try
You can blink it
But I don't think it
Would be good to stick your finger in your eye
Don't stick your finger down your throat
'Cause that'd just make you want to start to choke
Then up will come your dinner
And you'll start to look much thinner
Don't stick your finger down your throat

Still, by the window pane,
Pain, like the rain that's falling.
She waits in the air,
Matte Kudasai.
She sleeps in a chair
In her sad America.
When, when was the night so long,
Long, like the notes I'm sending.
She waits in the air,
Matte Kudasai.
She sleeps in a chair
In her sad America.
