[Toecutter]

... maybe Toe will chime in

As if by coincidence.....

Black then white are all I see in my infancy.

red and yellow then came to be, reaching out to me.

lets me see there is so much more

and beckons me to look through to these infinite possibilities.

As below, so above and beyond, I imagine

drawn outside the lines of reason.

Push the envelope. Watch it bend.

Over thinking, over analyzing separates the body from the mind.

Withering my intuition leaving all these opportunities behind.

Feed my will to feel this moment urging me to cross the line.

Reaching out to embrace the random.

Reaching out to embrace whatever may come.

I embrace my desire to

feel the rhythm, to feel connected

enough to step aside and weep like a widow

to feel inspired, to fathom the power,

to witness the beauty, to bathe in the fountain,

to swing on the spiral

of our divinity and still be a human.

With my feet upon the ground I lose myself

between the sounds and open wide to suck it in,

I feel it move across my skin.

I'm reaching up and reaching out,

I'm reaching for the random or what ever will bewilder me.

And following our will and wind we may just go where no one's been.

We'll ride the spiral to the end and may just go where no one's been.

Spiral out. Keep going, going...

Well it's fourty below but I don't give a ****

Got a heater in my truck

and I'm off to the rodeo..

[Rogue]

He was an old-time cowboy, don't you understand his eyes were sharp as razor blades his face was leather tan his toes were pointed inward from a-hangin' on a horse he was an old philosopher, of course.

He was so thin i swear you could have used him for a whip he had to drink a beer to keep his britches on his hips i knew i had to ask him about the mysteries of life he spit between his boots and he replied

"it's faster horses, younger women, older whiskey, and more money"

He smiled and all his teeth were covered with tobacco stains he said, "it don't do men no good to pray for peace and rain. peace and rain is just a way to say prosperity, and buffalo chips is all it means to me."

I told him i was a poet, i was lookin' for the truth i do not care for horses, whiskey, women or the loot i said i was a writer, my soul was all on fire he looked at me an' he said, "you are a liar."

"it's faster horses, younger women, older whiskey, and more money"

Well, i was disillusioned, if i say the least i grabbed him by the collar and i jerked him to his feet there was something cold and shiny layin' by my head so i started to believe the things he said

Well, my poet days are over and i'm back to being me as i enjoy the peace and comfort of reality if my boy ever asks me what it is that i have learned i think that i will readily affirm

"it's faster horses, younger women, older whiskey, and more money" (repeat 2x)

[Low Level FJR Pilot]

[SIZE=14pt]When I was younger: :confusedsmiley: [/SIZE]

On a long and lonesome highway, east of omaha.

You can listen to the engine moaning out its one lone song

You can think about woman, or the girl you knew the night before,

But your thoughts will soon be wandering, the way they always do.

When your riding sixteen hours and theres nothing much to do

And you dont feel much like riding, you just wish the trip was through.

Say, here I am, on the road again. there I am, up on the stage.

Here I go, playing star again.

There I go, turn the page.

Well you walk into a restaurant, strung out from the road,

You can feel the eyes upon you as your shaking off the cold

You pretend it doesnt bother you, but you just want to explode.

Most times you cant hear em talk, other times you can.

Oh the same old cliche, as that woman on her a man

You always see my number, you dont dare make a stand.

Here I am, on the road again. there I am, up on the stage.

Here I go, playing star again.

There I go, turn the page.

Out there in the spotlight your a million miles away,

Every ounce of energy, you try and give away,

As the sweat pours out your body like the music that you play.

Later in the evening as you lie awake in bed,

With the echo from the amplifiers ringing in your head,

You smoke the days last cigarette, remembering what she said.

Now here I am, on the road again. there I am, up on the stage.

Here I go, playing star again.

There I go, turn the page.

Here I am, on the road again. there I am, up on the stage.

Ah here I go, playing star again.

There I go, there I go.

Bob Seeger - Turn the Page

[SIZE=14pt]Now: B) [/SIZE]

It hasn't always been this way

I remember brighter days

Before the dark ones came

Stole my mind

Wrapped my soul in chains

Now I live among the dead

Fighting voices in my head

Hoping someone hears me crying in the night

And carries me away

Set me free of the chains holding me

Is anybody out there hearing me?

Set me free

Morning breaks another day

Finds me crying in the rain

All alone with my demons I am

Who is this man that comes my way?

The dark ones shriek

They scream His name

Is this the One they say will set the captive free?

Jesus, rescue me

As the God man passes by

He looks straight through my eyes

And darkness cannot hide

Do you want to be free?

Lift your chains

I hold the key

All power on Heav'n and Earth belong to Me

You are free

You are free

You are free

[paisano]

The winter was long and heavy

The darkness weighed me down

Snowy days seemed endless

First a veil, then a blanket, then a shroud

Everyone would gather, on the 24th of MaySitting in the sand to watch the fire, watch it play

Dancing, fires on the beach, singing songs together

Though it's just a memory, some memories last forever

Rush

Isn't it'''watch the fireworks display", not "fire, watch it play"?

Speaking of Rush, going to see them over Labor Day. 4th row center, baby!

One of my favorites from Cracker:

Well, meet me by the river that goes nowhere.

Let me lay my sorry trip on you.

Won't you meet me by the river, little darling'?

I might just let you see my bad tattoo.

Well i was gonna bring you flowers, but i didn't.

It's the thought that counts and i think i'm a bit too broke.

But there's some change in my ashtray--maybe just enough to pay.

For a half pint of somethin', probably make us choke.

Chorus:

Well you know i'd rather not go and meet your family.

They'd probably send me back where i belong.

Don't want to hear about mr. right.

'cause he's out of town tonight.

Baby come and spend some time with mr. wrong.

I drive a one-eyed malibu without a muffler.

And a tape deck that works if you kick it hard enough.

And baby if you like to read, i've got some great pornography.

And a ten pound flashlight rolling in the trunk.

Chorus

Now, do you have a girlfriend and does she look as good as you?

Would she like to meet my brother?

He'll be out of jail in a month or two.

Chorus

Where i come from they call me mr. wrong.

Barenaked Ladies:

Grade 9

I found my locker and I found my classes

Lost my lunch and I broke my glasses,

That guy is huge! That girl is wailin'!

First day of school and I'm already failing.

This is me in grade nine, baby, this is me in grade nine

This is me in grade nine, baby, this is me in grade nine

I've got a blue-and-red Adidas bag and a humongous binder,

I'm trying my best not to look like a minor niner.

I went out for the football team to prove that I'm a man;

I guess I shouldn't tell them that I like Duran Duran.

This is me in grade nine, baby, this is me in grade nine

This is me in grade nine, baby, this is me in grade nine

Well, half my friends are crazy and the others are depressed

and none of them can help me study for my math test.

I got into the classroom and my knowledge was gone;

I guess I should've studied instead of watching Wrath Of Khan.

This is me in grade nine, baby, this is me in grade nine

This is me in grade nine, baby, this is me in grade nine

They called me chicken legs, they called me four-eyes

they called me fatso, they called me buckwheat,

they called me Eddie

This is me in grade nine, baby, this is me in grade nine

This is me in grade nine, baby, this is me in grade nine

I've got a red leather tie and pair of rugger pants,

I put them on and I went to the high school dance.

Dad said I had to be home by eleven -

aw, man, I'm gonna miss Stairway to Heaven!

This is me in grade nine, baby, this is me in grade nine

This is me in grade nine, baby, this is me in grade nine

[HYCLE]

"Get Together"

Love is but a song we sing

And fear's the way we die

You can make the mountains ring

Or make the angels cry

Though the bird is on the wing

And you may not know why

*Come on people now

Smile on your brother

Everybody get together

Try to love one another right now

Some may come and some may go

And we will surely pass

When the one that left us here

Returns for us at last

We are but a moment's sunlight

Fading in the grass

[Repeat *]

If you hear the song we sing,

You will understand

You hold the key to love and fear

In your trembling hand

Just one key unlocks them both, you know

It's there at your command

[Repeat *]

Right now

Right now

 

[luvtoride]

Do you feel like we do? - Peter Frampton

Woke up this mornin' with a wine glass in my hand.

Who's wine, what wine, where the hell did I dine?

Must have been a dream, I don't believe where I've been.

COME ON, LET'S DO IT AGAIN!

Do you, YOU... feel like I do?

Someone Saved My Life Tonight - Elton John

I never realised the passing hours of evening showers

A slip noose hanging in my darkest dreams

Im strangled by your haunted social scene

Just a pawn out-played by a dominating queen

Its four oclock in the morning

Damn it listen to me good

Im sleeping with myself tonight

Saved in time, thank God my musics still alive

Kashmir - Led Zeppelin

Oh, let the sun beat down upon my face

And stars fill my dream

I'm a traveler of both time and space

To be where I have been

To sit with elders of the gentle race

This world has seldom seen

They talk of days for which they sit and wait

All will be revealed

Talk in song from tongues of lilting grace

Sounds caress my ear

And not a word I heard could I relate

The story was quite clear

Ooh, baby, I been blind

Oh, yeah, mama, there ain't no denyin'

Oh, ooh yes, I been blind

Mama, mama, ain't no denyin', no denyin'

All I see turns to brown

As the sun burns the ground

And my eyes fill with sand

As I scan this razor line

Can I find, can I find where I've been

Oh, pilot of the storm who leaves no trace

Like thoughts inside a dream

Leave the path the led me to that place

Yellow desert stream

Like Shangri-la beneath the summer moon

I will return again

As the dust that floats finds you

Will move and search Kashmir

Oh, father of the four winds fill my sails

Cross the sea of years

With no provision but an open face

Along the straits of fear

Oh, when I want, when I'm on my way, yeah

And my feet wear my fickle way to stay

Ooh, yeah yeah, ooh, yeah yeah, but I'm down

Ooh, yeah yeah, ooh, yeah yeah, but I'm down, so down

Ooh, my baby, oh, my baby

Let me take you there

Come on, oh let me take you there

Let me take you there

Elsewhere - Sarah McLachlan

I know this love is passing time

Passing through like liquid

I am drunk in my desire...

But I love the way you smile at me

I love the way your hands reach out and hold me near...

I believe...

 

[Zoltan]

Took a look down a westbound road,

right away I made my choice

Headed out to my big two-wheeler,

I was tired of my own voice

Took a bead on the northern plains

and just rolled that power on

You shamed me till [C] I feel about one inch [G7] tall

Thank God and Greyhound, you're gone

That load on my mind got lighter when you got on

That shiny old bus is a beautiful sight

It may sound kinda cruel but I've been silent too long

Thank God and Greyhound, you're gone.

TAG: Thank God and Greyhound, you're gone.

They say that life's a carousel

Spinning fast, you gotta ride it well

The world is full of Kings and Queens

Who blind your eyes and steal your dreams

It's Heaven and Hell, oh well
