This one was also very moving. Let's see if I can get the html right this time so it looks all pretty 🙂
Deep Waterby Jewel
you find yourself falling down your hope's in the sky but your heart's like grape gum on the ground
and you try to find yourself in the abstractions of religion and the cruelty of everyone else and you wake up to realize your standard of living somehow got stuck on survive
when you're standing in deep water and you're bailing yourself out with a straw and when you're drowning in deep water and you wake up making love to a wall well it's these little times that help to remind it's nothing without love
you wake up to realize your only friend has never been yourself or anyone who cared in the end that's when suddenly everything fades or falls away 'cause the chains which once held us are only the chains which we've made
when you're standing in deep water and you're bailing yourself out with a straw and when you're drowning in deep water and you wake up making love to a wall well it's these little times that help to remind it's nothing without love, love, love it's nothing without love
we've compromised our pride and sacrificed our health we have to demand more not of each other but more from ourselves 'cause when you're standing in deep water and you're bailing yourself out with a straw when you're drowning in deep water and you wake up making love to a wall well it's these little times that help to remind it's nothing without love, love, love it's nothing without love it's nothing without love
Sun sets 'cross the ocean I'm a thousand miles from anywhere My pocketbook and my heart both just got stolen And the sun act like she don't even care
The wind blows cold when you reach the top It feels like someone's face is stuck to the bottom of my shoe I got a plastic jesus, a cordless telephone for every corner of my room Got everybody but you telling me what to do
But I've been down so long Ooh, it can't be longer still I've been down so long That the end must be drawing near
I looked to everybody but me to answer my prayers 'til I saw an angel in a bathroom Who said she saw no one worth saving anywhere
And a blind man on the corner said it's simple, like flipping a coin Don't matter what side it lands on if it's someone else's dime
But I've been down so long Ooh, it can't be longer still We've been down so long That the end must be drawing near
I take a trip, I catch a train, I catch a plane I got a ticket in my hand And a fat man takes my money And like cattle we all stand
But we've been down so long Ooh, it can't be longer still We've been down so long The end must be... I know the end must be... Oh, I know the end must be drawing near
Pale September, I wore the time like a dress that year The autumn days swung soft around me, like cotton on my skin But as the embers of the summer lost their breath and disappeared My heart went cold and only hollow rhythms resounded from within
But then he rose, brilliant as the moon in full And sank in the burrows of my keep And all my armour falling down, in a pile at my feet And my winter giving way to warm, as I'm singing him to sleep
He goes along just as a water lily Gentle on the surface of his thoughts his body floats Unweighted down by passion or intensity Yet unaware of the depth upon which he coasts And he finds a home in me For what misfortune sows, he knows my touch will reap
And all my armour failing down, in a pile at my feet And my winter giving way to warm, as I'm singing him to sleep All my armour falling down, in a pile at my feet And my winter giving way to warm, as I'm singing him to sleep
I?m gonna make a mistake- I?m gonna do it on purpose I?m gonna waste my time Cuz I?m full as a tick And I?m scratching at the surface And what I find is mine
And when the day is done, and I look back And the fact is I had fun, fumbling around All the advice I shunned, and I ran Where they told me not to run, but I sure Had fun, so
I?m gonna f**k it up again I?m gonna do another detour Unpave my path And if you wanna make sense Whatcha looking at me for? I?m no good at math
And when I find my way back, The fact is I just may stay, or I may not I?ve acquired quite a taste For a well-made mistake I wanna mistake, why can?t I make a mistake?
I?m always doing what I think I should Almost always doing everybody good Why- Do I wanna do right, of course but Do I really wanna feel I?m forced to Answer you? Hell no
I?ve acquired quite a taste For a well-made mistake, I wanna Make a mistake, why can?t I make a mistake? I?m always doing what I think I should Almost always doing everybody good Why?
Unsentby Alanis Morissettedear matthew: I like you a lot I realize you're in a relationship with someone right now and I respect that I would like you to know that if you're ever single in the future and you want to come visit me in california I would be open to spending time with you and finding out how old you were when you wrote your first song
dear jonathan: I liked you too much I used to be attracted to boys who would lie to me and think solely about themselves and you were plenty self-destructive for my taste at the time I used to say the more tragic the better the truth is whenever I think of the early 90's your face comes up with a vengeance like it was yesterday
dear terrance: I love you muchly you've been nothing but open hearted and emotionally available and supportive and nurturing and consummately there for me I kept drawing you in and pushing you away I remember how beautiful it was to fall asleep on your couch and cry in front of you for the first time you were the best platform from which to jump beyond myself what was wrong with me
dear marcus: you rocked my world you had a charismatic way about you with the women and you got me seriously thinking about spirituality and you wouldn't let me get away with kicking my own ass but I could never really feel relaxed and looked out for around you though and that stopped us from going any further than we did and it's kinda too bad because we could've had much more fun
dear lou: we learned so much I realize we won't be able to talk for some time and I understand that as I do you the long distance thing was the hardest and we did as well as we could we were together during a very tumultuous time in our lives I will always have your back and be curious about you about your career about your whereabouts
The best things in life are free But you can keep them for the birds and bees Now give me money That's what I want That's what I want, yeah That's what I want

I used to get mad in my school (No, I can't complain) The teachers that taught me weren't cool (No, I can't complain) Holding me down, turning me round, Filling me up with your rules
I've got to admit it's getting better, A little better all the time (can't get no worse) To admit it's getting better, It's getting better since you've been mine.
Me used to be angry young man Me hiding me head in the sand You gave me the word I finally heard I'm doing the best that I can.
To admit it's getting better, A little better all the time To admit it's getting better, It's getting better since you've been mine.
Getting so much better all the time It's getting better all the time Better, better, better, It's getting better all the time. Better, better, better
I used to be cruel to my woman I beat her and kept her apart from the things that she loved Man I was mean but I'm changing my scene And I'm doing the best that I can.
I admit it's getting better, A little better all the time (can't get no worse) Yes, I admit it's getting better, It's getting better since you've been mine.
Getting so much better all the time It's getting better all the time Better, better, better, It's getting better all the time.
Better, better, better, Getting so much better all the time.
Woohoo Gwen!! Excellent choices! You know I just watched this special last night with George Harrison's widow and it was quite sad; he was always my absolute favorite Beatle. And yeah, I love Jewel & Alanis too; I like the intensity of their songs and the fact that their voices are so unusual and they approach lyrics in a very original way.
These Days by Nico I've been out walking I don't do too much talking These days, these days.
These days I seem to think a lot About the things that I forgot to do And all the times I had the chance to.
I've stopped my rambling, I don't do too much gambling These days, these days.
These days I seem to think about How all the changes came about my ways And I wonder if I'll see another highway.
I had a lover, I don't think I'll risk another These days, these days.
And if I seem to be afraid To live the life that I have made in song It's just that I've been losing so long. La la la la la, la la.
I've stopped my dreaming, I won't do too much scheming These days, these days. These days I sit on corner stones And count the time in quarter tones to ten. Please don't confront me with my failures, I have not forgotten them.
Ah, look at all the lonely people Ah, look at all the lonely people
Eleanor Rigby picks up the rice in the church where a wedding has been Lives in a dream Waits at the window, wearing the face that she keeps in a jar by the door Who is it for?
All the lonely people Where do they all come from? All the lonely people Where do they all belong?
Father McKenzie writing the words of a sermon that no one will hear No one comes near Look at him working Darning his socks in the night when there's nobody there What does he care?
All the lonely people Where do they all come from? All the lonely people Where do they all belong?
Ah, look at all the lonely people Ah, look at all the lonely people
Eleanor Rigby died in the church and was buried along with her name Nobody came Father McKenzie wiping the dirt from his hands as he walks from the grave No one was saved
All the lonely people (Ah, look at all the lonely people) Where do they all come from? All the lonely people (Ah, look at all the lonely people) Where do they all belong?
While My Guitar Gently Weeps (George Harrison, my favorite Beatle)
I look at you all see the love there that's sleeping While my guitar gently weeps I look at the floor and I see it needs sweeping Still my guitar gently weeps I don't know why nobody told you how to unfold your love I don't know how someone controlled you They bought and sold you
I look at the world and I notice it's turning While my guitar gently weeps With every mistake we must surely be learning Still my guitar gently weeps
Well...
I don't know how you were diverted You were perverted too I don't know how you were inverted No one alerted you
I look at you all see the love there that's sleeping While my guitar gently weeps Look at you all... Still my guitar gently weeps
My favorite song (for today at least)! Love You Madly by Cake
I don't want to wonder If this is a blunder I don't want to worry whether We're gonna stay together Till we die I don't want to jump in Unless this music's thumping All the dishes rattle In the cupboards When the elephants arrive
I want to love you madly I want to love you now I want to love you madly, way I want to love you, love you Love you madly
I don't want to fake it I just want to make it The ornaments look pretty But they're pulling Down the branches Of the tree
I don't want to think about it I don't want to talk about it When I kiss your lips I want to sink Down to the bottom Of the sea
I want to love you madly I want to love you now, yeah I want to love you madly, way I want to love you, love you Love you madly
I don't want to hold back I don't want to slip down I don't want to think back to The one thing that I know I Should have done
I don't want to doubt you Know everything about you I don't want to sit Across the table from you Wishing I could run
I want to love you madly I want to love you now I want to love you madly, way I want to love you, love you Love you madly

From the window of your rented limousine, I caught your pretty blue eyes One day soon you're gonna reach sixteen, Painted lady in the city of lies.
Oh, do you know my name? Do I look the same? You know I'm the one you want babe. I must be the one you need, yeah
Clutching pages from your teenage dream In the lobby of the Hotel Paradise Through the circus of the L.A. queens. How fast you learn the downhill slide
Oh, how you like the game? Still don't know your name? You know I'm the one you want. I've gotta be the one you need.
Lips like cherries and the brow of a queen, Come on, flash it in my eyes Said you dug me since you were thirteen, Then you giggle as you heave and sigh.
Oh, do you know my name? Do I look the same? Hey I'm not gonna tell ya I'm the one you want. Everbody knows I'm the one you need.
Hours, hours, and the moments in between Oh, baby, I couldn't count the times The fun of comin', oh the pain in leavin', Baby, dry those silver eyes
Oh, do you know my name? Do I look the same? You know I'm the one you want. Oooooh yes, I'm the one you need...
This is the springtime of my loving - the second season I am to know You are the sunlight in my growing - so little warmth I've felt before. It isn't hard to feel me glowing - I watched the fire that grew so low.
It is the summer of my smiles - flee from me Keepers of the Gloom. Speak to me only with your eyes. It is to you I give this tune. Ain't so hard to recognize - These things are clear to all from time to time.
Talk, talk - I've felt the coldness of my winter I never thought it would ever go. I cursed the gloom that set upon us... But I know that I love you so
These are the seasons of emotion and like the winds they rise and fall This is the wonder of devotion - I see the torch we all must hold. This is the mystery of the quotient - Upon us all a little rain must fall.
AC DC - Highway to Hell Living easy, livin' free Season ticket, on a one - way ride Asking nothing, leave me be Taking everything in my stride Don't need reason, don't need rhyme Ain't nothing I would rather do Going down, party time My friends are gonna be there too

Guns N' Roses - Sweet Child O' Mine She's got a smile that it seems to me Reminds me of childhood memories Where everything Was as fresh as the bright blue sky Now and then when I see her face She takes me away to that special place And if I stared too long I'd probably break down and cry Sweet child o' mine Sweet love of mine
She's got eyes of the bluest skies As if they thought of rain I hate to look into those eyes And see an ounce of pain Her hair reminds me of a warm safe place Where as a child I'd hide And pray for the thunder And the rain To quietly pass me by
Sweet child o' mine Sweet love of mine
Where do we go Where do we go now Where do we go Sweet child o' mine

Isn't it amazing how with only 26 letters in the english language that there are so many combinations of sounds to make so many combinations of words to make so many great songs?
One of the dead boys, he looked like Opie he looked like Opie, one of the dead boys Grandpa gave him a cup of cocoa and Rubbed his head for luck like he always did All you need is a coca-cola That's what it takes to get the job done A bunch of boys sitting in a van With a bag of chips and a bloody can

I don't go to therapy to find out if I'm a freak I go and I find the one and only answer every week And it's just me and all the memories to follow Down any course that fits within a fifty minute hour And we fathom all the mysteries, explicit and inherent When I hit a rut, she says to try the other parent And she's so kind, I think she wants to tell me something, But she knows that its much better if I get it for myself... And she says
ooooh, ohhhhh
What do you hear in these sounds?
ooooh, ohhhhh
What do you hear in these sounds?
I say I hear a doubt, with the voice of true believing And the promises to stay, and the footsteps that are leaving And she says "Oh," I say, "What?" she says, "Exactly" I say, "What, you think I'm angry? Does that mean you think I'm angry?" She says "Look, you come here every week With jigsaw pieces of your past Its all on little soundbytes and voices out of photographs And that's all yours, that's the guide, that's the map So tell me, where does the arrow point to? Who invented roses?" and...
ooooh, ohhhhh
What do you hear in these sounds?
ooooh, ohhhhh
What do you hear in these sounds?
And when I talk about therapy, I know what people think That it only makes you selfish and in love with your shrink But oh how I loved everybody else When I finally got to talk so much about myself...
And I wake up and I ask myself what state I'm in And I say well I'm lucky, 'cause I am like East Berlin I had this wall and what I knew of the free world Was that I could see their fireworks And I could hear their radios And I thought that if we met, I would only start confessing And they'd know that I was scared They would know that I was guessing But the wall came down and there they stood before me With their stumbling and their mumbling And their calling out just like me, and...
ooooh, ohhhhh
The stories that nobody hears, and...
I collect these sounds in my ears, and...
ooooh, ohhhhh
That's what I hear in these sounds, and...
ooooh, ohhhhh
That's what I hear in these, That's what I hear in these sounds.

Give me one reason to stay here, And I'll turn right back around. Give me one reason to stay here, And I'll turn right back around. Because I don't wanna leave you lonely, But you got to make me change my mind.
Baby, I got your number, And I know that you got mine. But you know that I called you, I called too many times. You can call me baby, You can call me anytime, But you got to call me.
Give me one reason to stay here, And I'll turn right back around. Give me one reason to stay here, And I'll turn right back around. Because I don't wanna leave you lonely, But you got to make me change my mind.
I don't want no one to squeeze me, They might take away my life. I don't want no one to squeeze me, They might take away my life. I just want someone to hold me, And rock me through the night.
This youthful heart can love you, And give you what you need. This youthful heart can love you, And give you what you need. But I'm too old to go chasing you around, Wasting my precious energy.
Give me one reason to stay here, And I'll turn right back around. Give me one reason to stay here, And I'll turn right back around. Because I don't wanna leave you lonely, But you got to make me change my mind.
Baby just give me one reason, Give me just one reason why. Baby give me just one reason, Give me just one reason why...I should stay, Because I told you that I loved you, And there ain't no more to say.
Where have all good men gone And where are all the gods? Where's the street-wise Hercules To fight the rising odds?
Isn't there a white knight upon a fiery steed? Late at night I toss and turn and dream of what I need
(Chorus) I need a hero I'm holding out for a hero 'til the end of the night He's gotta be strong And he's gotta be fast And he's gotta be fresh from the fight I need a hero I'm holding out for a hero 'til the morning light He's gotta be sure And it's gotta be soon And he's gotta be larger than life
Somewhere after midnight In my wildest fantasy Somewhere just beyond my reach There's someone reaching back for me
Racing on the thunder and rising with the heat It's gonna take a superman to sweep me off my feet
(Chorus)
Up where the mountains meet the heavens above Out where the lightning splits the sea I would swear that there's someone somewhere Watching me Through the wind and the chill and the rain And the storm and the flood I can fell his approach Like a fire in my blood
It's a heartache Nothing but a heartache Hits you when it's too late Hits you when you're down It's a fool's game Nothing but a fool's game Standing in the cold rain Feeling like a clown
It's a heartache Nothing but a heartache Love him till your arms break Then he let's you down
It ain't right with love to share When you find he doesn't care, for you It ain't wise to need someone As much as I depended on, you
It's a heartache Nothing but a heartache Hits you when it's too late Hits you when you're down
Its a fool's game Nothing but a fool's game Standing in the cold rain Feeling like a clown
It ain't right with love to share When you find he doesn't care, for you It ain't wise to need someone As much as I depended on, you
It's a heartache Nothing but a heartache Love him till your arms break Then he lets you down
It's a fool's game Standing in the cold rain Feeling like a clown
It's a heartache Love him till your arms break Then he lets you down
Who did the song "Woodstock" first, was it Crosby Stills Nash and Young, or was it Joni Mitchell?
"Woodstock" Well, I came upon a child of God He was walking along the road And I asked him,Tell where are you going? This he told me
Said, Im going down to Yasgur's Farm, Gonna join in a rock and roll band. Got to get back to the land and set my soul free.
We are stardust, we are golden, We are billion year old carbon, And we got to get ourselves back to the garden.
Well, then can I walk beside you? I have come to lose the smog, And I feel like I'm a cog in something turning. And maybe it's the time of year, Yes and maybe it's the time of man. And I don't know who I am, But life is for learning.
We are stardust, we are golden, We are billion year old carbon. And we got to get ourselves back to the garden.
We are stardust, we are golden, We are billion year old carbon. And we got to get ourselves back to the garden.
By the time we got to Woodstock, We were half a million strong And everywhere was a song and a celebration. And I dreamed I saw the bomber death planes Riding shotgun in the sky, Turning into butterflies Above our nation.
We are stardust, we are golden, We caught in the devils bargain, And we got to get ourselves back to the garden.
If I had ever been here before I would probably know just what to do Don't you? If I had ever been here before on another time around the wheel I would probably know just how to deal With all of you. And I feel Like I've been here before Feel Like I've been here before And you know It makes me wonder What's going on under the ground
Do you know? Don't you wonder? What's going on down under you.
We have all been here before We have all been here before We have all been here before We have all been here before
When morning comes to Morgantown The merchants roll their awnings down The milktrucks make their morning rounds In morning, Morgantown We'll rise up early, with the sun To ride the bus while everyone is yawning And the day is young In morning, Morgantown Morning Morgantown Buy your dreams a dollar down Morning any town you name Morning's just the same We'll find a table in the shade And sip our tea and lemonade And watch the morning on parade In morning, Morgantown Ladies in their rainbow fashions Colored stop and go lights flashing We'll wink at total strangers passing in Morning, Morgantown Morning Morgantown Buy your dreams a dollar down Morning any town you name Morning's just the same I'd like to buy you everything A wooden bird with painted wings A window full of colored rings In morning, Morgantown. But the only thing I have to give To make you smile, to win you with Are all the mornings still to live In morning, Morgantown.
He comes for conversation I comfort him sometimes Comfort and consultation He knows that's what he'll find I bring him grapes and cheeses He brings me songs to play He sees me when he pleases I see him in cafes And I only say, hello And turn away before his lady knows How much I want to see him She removes him, like a ring To wash her hands She only brings him out to show her friends I want to free him. Secrets and sharing soda That's how our time began Love is a story told to a friend It's second hand But I'll listen to his questions I'll give my answers when they're found He says she keeps him guessing I know she keeps him down She speaks in sorry sentences Miraculous repentances I don't believe her Tomorrow he will come to me And speak his sorrow endlessly and ask me why Why can't I leave her? He comes for conversation I comfort him sometimes Comfort and consultation He knows that's what he'll find.
Help me I think I'm falling In love again When I get that crazy feeling, I know I'm in trouble again I'm in trouble 'Cause you're a rambler and a gambler And a sweet-taIking-ladies man And you love your lovin' But not like you love your freedom
Help me I think I'm falling In love too fast It's got me hoping for the future And worrying about the past 'Cause I've seen some hot hot blazes Come down to smoke and ash We love our lovin' But not like we love our freedom
Didn't it feel good We were sitting there talking Or lying there not talking Didn't it feel good You dance with the lady With the hole in her stocking Didn't it feel good Didn't it feel good
Help me I think I'm falling In love with you Are you going to let me go there by myself That's such a lonely thing to do Both of us flirting around Flirting and flirting Hurting too We love our lovin' But not like we love our freedom
My analyst told me That I was right out of my head The way he described it He said I'd be better dead than live I didn't listen to his jive I knew all along That he was all wrong And I knew that he thought I was crazy but I'm not Oh no
My analyst told me That I was right out of my head He said I'd need treatment But I'm not that easily led He said I was the type That was most inclined When out of his sight To be out of my mind And he thought I was nuts No more ifs or ands or buts
They say as a child I appeared a little bit wild With all my crazy ideas But I knew what was happening I knew I was a genius... What's so strange when you know That you're a wizard at three I knew that this was meant to be
Now I heard little children Were supposed to sleep tight That's why I got into the vodka one night My parents got frantic Didn't know what to do But I saw some crazy scenes Before I came to Now do you think I was crazy I may have been only three But I was swinging
They all laugh at angry young men They all laugh at Edison And also at Einstein So why should I feel sorry If they just couldn't understand The idiomatic logic That went on in my head I had a brain It was insane Oh they used to laugh at me When I refused to ride On all those double decker buses All because there was no driver on the top
My analyst told me That I was right out of my head But I said dear doctor I think that it's you instead Because I have got a thing That's unique and new To prove it I'll have The last laugh on you 'Cause instead of one head I got two And you know two heads are better than one.
Any fans of the band Cake? I'm just starting to really get into this band. I find their lyrics to be hilariously weird. Has anyone heard that song, "Short Skirt, Long Jacket"? hehe, you MUST listen to it. Guaranteed to make you giggle. Perhaps I wil
Share your weird, odd, unexplainable experiences here.
For example (this has happened to me twice now, pretty recently): dreaming about a stranger, or someone you hardly know at all, or someone you merely "know of" but have never personally met.<

What's everyone's opinion on pornography? Do you think it is too prevalent in our society, or do you think there could never in a million years be such a thing as too much porn? I've heard the theory that too much exposure to pornography can make a pers
I am a black woman and I have to say, we accept our bodies more than any other race it seems. We love our curvy bodies with the extra thickness, and so do the men. If you DO have wide hips, a big booty, and a small waistline, it's a GOOD thing, not a bad

I have this friend and I enjoy them very much. It is not anything sexual, not yet, but it is great on a emotional level. They are funny and witty and very smart. The only problem is, they know how much I care about them and so they use this. Maybe I
Deep Waterby Jewel
you find yourself falling down
your hope's in the sky
but your heart's like grape gum on the ground
and you try to find yourself
in the abstractions of religion
and the cruelty of everyone else
and you wake up to realize
your standard of living somehow got stuck on survive
when you're standing in deep water
and you're bailing yourself out with a straw
and when you're drowning in deep water
and you wake up making love to a wall
well it's these little times that help to remind
it's nothing without love
you wake up to realize your only friend
has never been yourself or anyone who cared in the end
that's when suddenly everything fades or falls away
'cause the chains which once held us
are only the chains which we've made
when you're standing in deep water
and you're bailing yourself out with a straw
and when you're drowning in deep water
and you wake up making love to a wall
well it's these little times that help to remind
it's nothing without love, love, love
it's nothing without love
we've compromised our pride
and sacrificed our health
we have to demand more
not of each other
but more from ourselves
'cause when you're standing in deep water
and you're bailing yourself out with a straw
when you're drowning in deep water
and you wake up making love to a wall
well it's these little times that help to remind
it's nothing without love, love, love
it's nothing without love
it's nothing without love
