Have you seen her?
So fine and pretty. fooled me with her style and ease.
And I feel her from across the room.
Yes, it?s love in the third degree.
Ooh, baby, baby.
Won?tcha turn your head my way?
Ooh, baby, baby.
Come on, take a chance.
You?re old enough to dance the night away.
Oh, come on, baby, dance the night away.
A live wire.
Barely a beginner, but just watch that lady go.
She?s on fire, ?cause dancing gets her higher than
Anything else she knows.
Ooh, baby, baby.
Won?tcha turn your head my way?
Ooh, baby, baby.
Well, don?t skip romance, ?cause you?re old enough to dance
The night away.
Oh, come on, baby, dance the night away.
Dance the night away.
Dance, dance, dance the night away.

NO WAY BACK

Lately, I?ve been living in my head
The rest of me is dead I?m dying for truth
Make me believe no more left and right
Come on take my side, I?m fighting for you
I?m fighting for you

Pleased to meet you take my hand
There is no way back from here
Pleased to meet you say your prayers
There is no way back from here
But I don?t care
No way back from here

Wake me, I?m ready something don?t seem right
I was dreaming I was talking to you
Memory, mend me, you know I?ve seen my share
Of things I can?t repair I?ll break it to you
I?ll break it to you

Pleased to meet you take my hand
There is no way back from here
Pleased to meet you say your prayers
There is no way back from here
But I don?t care
No way back from here

Good song...The Foo Fighters.  :tup:

[Froderik]

Dancing days are here again as the summer evenings grow
I got my flower, I got my power, I got a woman who knows.

I said it's alright. You know it's alright - I guess it's all in my heart
You'll be my only, my one and only. Is that the way it should start?

Crazy ways are evident, In the way that you're wearing your clothes
Sippin' booze is precedent as the evening starts to glow.

I said it's alright. You know it's alright - I guess it's all in my heart
You'll be my only, my one and only. Is that the way it should start?

I told your mamma I'd get you home but I didn't tell her I had no car
I saw a lion he was standing alone with a tadpole in a jar.

I said it's alright. You know it's alright - I guess it's all in my heart
You'll be my only, my one and only. Is that the way it should start?

Dancing days are here again as the summer evening grows
You are my flower, you are my power You are my woman who knows.  

I said it's alright. You know it's alright - I guess it's all in my heart
You'll be my only, my one and only. Is that the way it should start?

[Matt C. Hoffman]

All I know is something like a bird with in her sang

All I know she sang a little while and then flew on

Tell me all that you know;I'll show you snow and rain

If you hear that same sweet song again will know why

Anyone who sings a tune so sweet is passing by


Laugh in the sunshine sing cry in the dark fly thru the night

Don't you cry now
Don't you cry
Don't you cry any more

Sleep in the stars
Don't you cry
Dry your eyes on the wind

snow and rain
snow and rain

[Froderik]

Lyrics To:A Person Isn't Safe Anywhere These Days


As she parts her greying hair
Voices on the stair
When she turns there's someone there

Like a nightmare from the past
To the sound of splintered glass
Dance the monsters in the masks

Men of steel
Just stood laughing in the rain

Have you killed her
Someone said
As they dragged her from her bed
Kicking in her head

What kind of times are these
No one hears, no one sees
As they drive her to her knees

Men of steel
Just stood laughing in the rain

What kind of times are these
As they drive you to your knees
They just stood laughing in the rain
The rain

How can you laugh this one away

[fuckbuddy]

Restless little one
Comfortable and warm
Let me fall apart
Crippled in your arms

Chase me through the dark
Ready on your mark
First to reach the stars
Wins a broken heart
One that broke apart
Shattered from the start

Are you there?
Do you read me?
Are you there?
I don't feel you anymore

Cages and alarms
Keeping us from harm
I will be the guard
Hope to rest upon

Could I be the one
To break a will so strong
Pray it won't be long
Til your will is gone
Everything is done
Nothing left at all

Are you there?
Do you read me?
Are you there?
I don't feel you anymore

Are you there?
Will you give in?
Are you there?
If I give out
Over and out

Cages and alarms
Keeping us from harm
I will be the guard
Hope to rest upon
Everything is done
Nothing left at all

Are you there?
Do you read me?
Are you there?
I don't feel you anymore

Are you there?
Will you give in?
Are you there?
If I give out

[Second Skin]

Real life is so hard
We hide in the stars
That?s where our heads are
My head and your heart

This is a black out
Don?t let it go to waste
This is a black out
I want to detonate

When you are so far
I?m falling apart
Lose all my sonar
You jam my radar

This is a black out
Don?t let it go to waste
This is a black out
I want to detonate

Sometimes I feel I?m getting stuck
Between the handshake and the fuck

You?ve got me on guard
I?ve got my head start
My head and your heart
The same in the stars

This is a black out
Don?t let it go to waste
This is a black out
I want to detonate

Sometimes I wish that I could change
I can?t save you from my poor brain

Brain
Brain
Brain
O.k.

13th Floor Elevators--"Slip Inside This House"

(these guys really were the "druggie rock bands that want to dose you with LSD" that Straight warned you about.  Sl(Tr)ip inside this house as you pass by......)


Bedoin tribes ascending
From the egg into the flower,
Alpha information sending
State within the heaven shower
From disciples the unending
Subtleties of river power
They slip inside this house as they pass by

If your limbs begin dissolving
In the water that you tread
All surroundings are evolving
In the stream that clears your head
Find yourself a caravan
Like Noah must have led
And slip inside this house as you pass by.
Slip inside this house as you pass by.

True conception, knowing why
Brings even more than meets the eye
Slip inside this house as you pass by.

In this dark we call creation
We can be and feel and know
From an effort, comfort station
That's surviving on the go
There's infinite survival in
The high baptismal glow.
Slip inside this house as you pass by.

There is no season when you are grown
You are always risen from the seeds you've sown
There is no reason to rise alone
Other stories given have sages of their own.

Live where your heart can be given
And your life starts to unfold
In the forms you envision
In this dream that's ages old
On the river layer is the only sayer
You receive all you can hold
Like you've been told.

Every day's another dawning
Give the morning winds a chance
Always catch your thunder yawning
Lift your mind into the dance
Sweep the shadows from your awning
Shrink the fourfold circumstance
That lies outside this house don't pass it by.

Higher worlds that you uncover
Light the path you want to roam
You compare there and discover
You won't need a shell of foam
Twice born gypsies care and keep
The nowhere of their former home
They slip inside this house as they pass by.
Slip inside this house as you pass by.

You think you can't, you wish you could
I know you can, I wish you would
Slip inside this house as you pass by.

Four and twenty birds of Maya
Baked into an atom you
Polarized into existence
Magnet heart from red to blue
To such extent the realm of dark
Within the picture it seems true
But slip inside this house and then decide.

All your lightning waits inside you
Travel it along your spine
Seven stars receive your visit
Seven seals remain divine
Seven churches filled with spirit,
Treasure from the angels' mine
Slip inside this house as you pass by.
Slip inside this house as you pass by.

The space you make has your own laws
No longer human gods are cause
The center of this house will never die.

There is no season when you are grown
You are always risen from the seeds you've sown
There is no reason to rise alone
Other stories given have sages of their own.

Draw from the well of unchanging
Its union nourishes on
In the right re-arranging
Till the last confusion is gone
Water-brothers trust in the ultimust
Of the always singing song they pass along.

One-eyed men aren't really reigning
They just march in place until
Two-eyed men with mystery training
Finally feel the power fill
Three-eyed men are not complaining.
They can yo-yo where they will
They slip inside this house as they pass by.
Don't pass it by.

[fuckbuddy]

Ahh...I always liked this one..very poetic.

[Nonconformistlaw]

You know I never
I never seen you look so good
You never act the way you should
But I like it
And I know you like it too
The way that I want you
I gotta have you
Oh yes, I do

You know I never
I never ever stay out late
You know that I can hardly wait
Just to see you
And I know you cannot wait
Wait to see me too
I gotta touch you

Cause baby we'll be
At the drive-in
In the old man's Ford
behind the bushes
till I'm screamin' for more
Down the basement
lock the cellar door
And baby
Talk dirty to me

You know I call you
I call you on the telephone
I'm only hoping that you're home
So I can hear you
When you say those words to me
And whisper so softly
I gotta hear you

Cause baby we'll be
At the drive-in
In the old man's Ford
behind the bushes
till I'm screamin' for more
Down the basement
lock the cellar door
And baby
Talk dirty to me

C.C. pick up that guitar and talk to me

[fuckbuddy]

In the silence of a grave
In the words of someone's hero
A blue television screen
Words don't mean anything
In this word factory
Replacement parts are free
Pictures of failed ideas
Only took me fifteen years

All your words cannot describe
The attitudes that lie inside
Subculture killed at birth
Got bored and slowly die

In the silence of a graveyard
Someone's talking to himself
Oh! What a letdown!
Oh! What a boring letdown!
Such a perfect face
Words are such a waste
Let me paint a picture of you
And hang it in this empty place

Can I quote from your ideas
Put your excuses on the wall
Devaluated words
Blown up to mean sod all
Oh! What a letdown!
Oh! What a boring letdown!

Did you just say something?
It must have blown away
Got bored and slowly died
Forget what you have to say
Forget what you have to say
Forget what you have to say
Forget what you have to say
Who wrote this anyway?

What I want
I want now
and it's a whole lot more
than 'anyhow'
I want to fly
fly a fountain
I want to jumpjumpjump
jump a mountain

I understand all... i see no...
destructive urges... i see no...
it seems so perfect... i see no...
i see... i see no... i see no evil

I get ideas
I get a notion
I want a nice little boat
made out of ocean.
I get your point.
You're so sharp.
Getting good reactions
with your ''BeBo'' talk.

Don't say unconscious
No don't say doom.
If you got to say it
let me leave this room
Cuz what I want
I want now
and it's a whole lot more
than 'anyhow.'

I'm runnin wild with the one i love
I see no evil
I'm runnin wild with the one-eyed ones
I see no evil
Pull down the future with the one you love
Pull down the future
