Father by Manowar
When I was small You took me by the hand Father you should know I finally understand You taught me wrong from right And how to live You gave the greatest gift That one could give You never let me down You made me strong When I made mistakes When I was wrong Some days we'd laugh And some days we'd fight Somehow you knew one day I'd say you were right You're with me In every word I say In every hour Of every single day In all I do I'm just a part of you You lived your life for us That was your plan Those hands that never take They worked the land Hands that never take Can only give And because of you I know how to live You're with me In every word I say In every hour Of every single day In all I do I'm just a part of you Father just one thing You always knew Every word you said to me was true |

Listen to the live version on "If You Want Blood You've Got It".
|
"If You Want Blood, You've Got It" is prolly my most favoritest live album. I always loved the feedback during Angus' solos.

paraphrasing The JaneDear Girls:
She's a wild flower growing in the sunshine Soaking up the way of life she was raised in Runnin barefoot, bloomin in a summer shower Ponytail dancin, she can't help it, she's a wild flower ...No rose, no daisy can touch what she's got... |

sober- Tool
There's a shadow just behind me,
shrouding every step I take, making every promise empty, pointing every finger at me. Waiting like a stalking butler who upon the finger rests. Murder now the pattern must we, just because the son has come? Jesus, won't you fucking whistle something but the past and done? Jesus, wont you fucking whistle something but the past endured? Why can't we not be sober? I Just want to start this over. And why can't we drink forever? I just want to start this over. I am just a worthless liar. I am just an imbecile. I will only complicate you. Trust in me and fall as well. I will find a center in you. I will chew it up and leave, I will work to elevate you just enough to bring you down Mother Mary won't you whisper something but what's past and done. Mother Mary won't you whisper something but what's past and done. Why can't we not be sober? I Just want to start this over. Ah, why can't we sleep forever? I just want to start this over. I am just a worthless liar. I am just an imbecile. I will only complicate you. Trust in me and fall as well. I will find a center in you. I will chew it up and leave, Trust me, trust me, trust me, trust me, and trust me Why can't we not be sober? Just want to start this over. Why can't we sleep forever? Just want to start this over. I want what I want, I want what I want, I want what I want, I want what I want |

It was 1989 my thoughts were short my hair was long
Caught somewhere between a boy and man She was seventeen and she was far from in between It was summertime in northern Michigan Splashing through the sand bar talking by the campfire It's the simple things in life, like when and where We didn't have no internet but man I never will forget The way the moonlight shined upon her hair ... Catching Walleye from the dock watching the waves roll off the rocks She'll forever hold a spot inside my soul We'd blister in the sun we couldn't wait for night to come To hit that sand and play some rock and roll ... Now nothing seems as strange as when the leaves begin to change Or how we thought those days would never end Sometimes I'll hear that song and I'll start to sing along And think man I'd love to see that girl again ~Kid Rock "All Summer Long" |

I was justified when I was five
Raising cane, I spit in your eye Times are changing, now the poor get fat But the fever's gonna catch you when the bitch gets back Eat meat on Friday that's alright Even like steak on a Saturday night I can bitch the best at your social do's I get high in the evening sniffing pots of glue I'm a bitch, I'm a bitch Oh the bitch is back Stone cold sober as a matter of fact I can bitch, I can bitch `Cause I'm better than you It's the way that I move The things that I do I entertain by picking brains Sell my soul by dropping names I don't like those, my God, what's that Oh it's full of nasty habits when the bitch gets back --Elton John |

We were all into Marley in college, of course. My roomie and I were listening to a "cassette" tape one time (us old ladies remember cassettes) and we decided it was actually "The Damn Chim Song." Chim was a wily monkey who was always taking stuff out of our fridge, in our version, and we'd go "Damn, Chim." That was his song. Great memories.

My my my it’s a beautiful world
I like swimming in the sea I like to go out beyond the white breakers Where a man can still be free (or a woman if you are one) I like swimming in the sea. My my my it’s a beautiful world I like drinking Irish tea With a little bit of lapsang souchong I like making my own tea. My my my it’s a beautiful world I like driving in my car Roll the top down sometimes I travel quite far Drive to the ocean stare up at the stars I like driving in my car All around is anger automatic guns It’s death in large numbers no respect for women or our little ones I tried talking to Jesus but He just put me on hold Said He’d been swamped by calls this week And He couldn’t shake His cold And still this emptiness persists Perhaps this is as good as it gets When you’ve given up the drink and those nasty cigarettes Now I leave the party early at least with no regrets I watch the sun as it comes up I watch it as it sets Yeah this is as good as it gets. My my my it’s a beautiful world I like sleeping with Marie She is one sexy girl full of mystery She says she doesn’t love me but she likes my company For now that’s good enough for me - Colin Hay (of Men at Work fame... apparently an adult now) |
Elvis Hitler - Don't Push Me
------------------------------------ I was talking to my neighbor's dog His wisdom set me free "Go out and have some fun," he said "Go on a killing spree." I never was a good boy Don't say my prayers at night I stole my daddy's shotgun I took my best friend's bike Don't push me, I'm crazy, and I've got a gun There's a dealer not far from here I think I'll get real bombed I'm going to buy some for my sister I'm going to buy some for my mom Look at me, I've got it made I've got a hostage and a hand grenade Take me alive or take me dead Just put a bullet through my head Don't push me, I'm crazy, and I've got a gun It's a world full of hatred In which we live today Hostage taking maniacs Kill while people pray That the violence and the mayhem Will cease to exist I never thought I'd see the day When things would come to this -------------------------------------- There are some days I just..... |
Tin Man
America Sometimes late when things are real and people share the gift of gab between themselves Some are quick to take the bait and catch the perfect prize that waits among the shelves But Oz never did give nothing to the Tin Man That he didn't, didn't already have And cause never was the reason for the evening Or the tropic of Sir Galahad So please believe in me When I say I'm spinning round, round, round, round Smoke glass stain bright color Image going down, down, down, down Soapsuds green like bubbles Oh, Oz never did give nothing to the Tin Man That he didn't, didn't already have And cause never was the reason for the evening Or the tropic of Sir Galahad So please believe in me When I say I'm spinning round, round, round, round Smoke glass stain bright color Image going down, down, down, down Soapsuds green like bubbles No, Oz never did give nothing to the Tin Man That he didn't, didn't already have And cause never was the reason for the evening Or the tropic of Sir Galahad So please believe in me |

Summer side of life He came down through fields of green On the summer side of life His love was ripe There were no illusions On the summer side of life Only tenderness And if you saw him now You'd wonder why he would cry The whole day long There was young girls everywhere On the summer side of life They talked all night To the young men that they knew On the summer side of life Goin' off to fight And if you saw them now You'd wonder why they would cry The whole day long He came down through fields of green On the summer side of life He prayed all night Then he walked into a house Where love had been misplaced His chance to waste And if you saw him now You'd wonder why he would cry The whole day long And if you saw him now You'd wonder why And if you saw him now You'd wonder why And if you saw him now You'd wonder why |
Beginnings
--Chicago Transit Authority When I'm with you, it doesn't matter where we are, Or what we're doing. I'm with you, that's all that matters. Time passes much too quickly when we're together laughing. I wish I could sing it to you, oh no, I wish I could sing it to you. Mostly I'm silent. Never think about words to say. When I kiss you, I feel a thousand different feelings. The color of chills all over my body. And when I feel them, I quickly try to decide which one I should try to put into words, oh no, Try to put into words. Mostly I'm silent. Only the beginning of what I want to feel forever. Only the beginning. Only just the start. I've got to get you into my life. Got to get you next to me. Only the beginning. Only just the start. |
Reminds me of that classic:
New Beginnings --Derek Stevens New beginnings New beginnings New beginnings New beginnings Of course, you probable remember Derek from his big hit: Choppin' Broccoli There's a lady I know If I didn't know her She'd be the lady I didn't know. And my lady, she went downtown She bought some broccoli She brought it home. She's chopping broccoli Chopping broccoli Chopping broccoli Chopping broccoli She's chopping broccoli She's chopping broccoli She's chop.. ooh! She's chopping broccola-ah-ie! |
I love Chopping Broccoli!
*sniffs* such a beautiful tribute, so heartfelt. Sigh... |
Forty Six and 2... Tool.
My shadow's shedding skin and I've been picking Scabs again. I'm down Digging through My old muscles Looking for a clue. I've been crawling on my belly Clearing out what could've been. I've been wallowing in my own confused And insecure delusions For a piece to cross me over Or a word to guide me in. I wanna feel the changes coming down. I wanna know what I've been hiding in My shadow. Change is coming through my shadow. My shadow's shedding skin I've been picking My scabs again. I've been crawling on my belly Clearing out what could've been. I've been wallowing in my own chaotic And insecure delusions. I wanna feel the change consume me, Feel the outside turning in. I wanna feel the metamorphosis and Cleansing I've endured within My shadow Change is coming. Now is my time. Listen to my muscle memory. Contemplate what I've been clinging to. Forty-six and two ahead of me. I choose to live and to Grow, take and give and to Move, learn and love and to Cry, kill and die and to Be paranoid and to Lie, hate and fear and to Do what it takes to move through. I choose to live and to Lie, kill and give and to Die, learn and love and to Do what it takes to step through. See my shadow changing, Stretching up and over me. Soften this old armor. Hoping I can clear the way By stepping through my shadow, Coming out the other side. Step into the shadow. Forty six and two are just ahead of me. |
Windows are Rolled Down
Look up child The world is born Shoe's untied And your soles are worn Windows are rolled down Sun is setting high Windows are rolled down I'm fixin' to die Corn rows have companion feel This rocky road and this steering wheel Who do you call to ease your pain I hope for you to get through this rain Windows are rolled down Moon is hanging low Windows are rolled down Think it's time for me to go hey-ay-ay-a...-ay Is it what you dreamed it'd be Are you locked up in this fantasy Oh this miles that have torn us apart My new found faith and my broken heart Windows are rolled down Sun is rising high Windows are rolled down Feel that wind rushing by hey-ay-ay-a...

I shot your dog
Fred Eaglesmith Well, hello, neighbor. I been meaning to talk to you. I been putting it off. It's something I gotta do. I been living with a secret. Been keeping me awake. There's just something I gotta say: I shot your dog. He was on my property. I thought he was a coyote, on the run. I been missing some chickens, so I pulled the trigger. I feel so bad 'bout what I done. You don't have to say nothin'. I can tell how you feel. I'd feel the same if it was me. I'm awfully sorry. If I could make it up to you In any way, tell me what to do. I shot your dog. He was on my property. I thought he was a coyote, on the run. I been missing some chickens, so I pulled the trigger. I feel so bad 'bout what I done. Got an old coon hound. If it'll make you feel better, She's comin' in next week. You get the pick of the litter. I shot your dog. He was on my property. I thought he was a coyote, on the run. I been missing some chickens, so I pulled the trigger. I feel so bad 'bout what I done. |

How 'bout: Wildwood Weed--Jim Stafford Wildwood flower grew wild on the farm And we never knowed what it was called Some said it was a flower and some said it was a weed I didn't give it much thought One day I was out there talkin' to my brother And I reached down for a weed to chew on Things got fuzzy and things got blurry And then ev'rything was gone Didn't know what happened but I knew it beat the hell Out of sniffing burlap I come to and my brother was there and he said, "What's wrong with your eyes?" I said "I don't know, I was chewin' on the weed" He said, "Let me give it a try" We spent the rest of that day and most of that night tryin' To find my brother Bill Caught up with him about six o'clock the next mornin' Naked, singing on the windmill He said he flew up there I had to fly up and get him down He was about half crazy The very next day we picked a bunch of them weeds And put 'em in the sun to dry Then we mashed 'em up and we cleaned 'em off Put 'em in the corn cob pot Smokin' them wildwood flowers got to be a habit We never seen no harm We thought it was kind-a handy Take a trip and never leave the farm Big 'ole puff of that wildwood weed next thing you know You're just wand'ring 'round behind the little animals All good things got to come to an end It's the same with the wildwood weeds One day this feller from Washington come by And spied one and turned white as a sheet And they dug and they burned And they burned and they dug and they killed All our cute little weeds and then they drove away We just smiled and waved sittin' ther on that sack o' seeds |
I re-wrote this for a guy singer and I'm hoping the band likes the idea.
This was never the way I planned Not my intention I got so brave, drink in hand Lost my discretion You’re not who, I’m used to Just wanna try you on I’m curious cause your ass Caught my attention I kissed a girl and I liked it The taste of her vodka tonic I kissed a girl just to try it If my wife asks, I’ll deny it It felt so wrong, she felt so right Don’t mean I’ll get laid tonight I kissed a girl and I liked it I liked it No I don’t even know her name It doesn’t matter She’s my experimental game Just human nature It’s not what married guys should do Not how we should behave But I've been married 13 years So I'm dying to get laid So I kissed a girl and I liked it The taste of her vodka tonic I kissed a girl just to try it My wife might throw a shit fit I felt her tits against my chest Don’t mean to get wood I guess I kissed a girl and I liked it I liked it I have a "porno chorus" in case this goes over well. |
awesome UT!
But I've been married 13 years So I'm dying to get laid |
Thanks man.
The Katy Perry lyric ends with "hard to obey" and I thought about keeping that, but the parody needs to get more intense at that point. It's gonna be a slow burn for the audience. The idea is to get the attention of the people at the bar and not just the people who were watching us anyway. Most of them won't know what's going on until the first chorus and I hope they have a "holy shit" moment. We do this with "Breakdown" (Tom Petty) - we do it in a reggae style, and so some people don't know what it is until Dean sings "BRrrrrrrrEAK! -- down, goaheadngimmitome" |

get your hankies ready...
this is "our song" Mrs.G and I... . I Knew I Loved You lyrics ( Savage Garden ) Songwriters: Jones, Daniel; Hayes, Darren; Hmm ohh, I will come Maybe it's intuition Somethings you just don't question Like in your eyes, I see my future in an instant And there it goes, I think I've found my best friend I know that it might sound More than a little crazy But I believe I knew I loved you before I met you I think I dreamed you into life I knew I loved you before I met you I have been waiting all my life There's just no rhyme or reason Only a sense of completion And in your eyes, I see the missing pieces I'm searching for, I think I've found my way home I know that it might sound More than a little crazy But I believe I knew I loved you before I met you I think I dreamed you into life I knew I loved you before I met you I have been waiting all my life Ooh hoo ooo, hoo hoo ooo ohh A thousand angels dance around you (Ooh hoo, hoo ooo hoo ooo hoo hoo hoo) I am complete now that I have found you I knew I loved you before I met you I think I dreamed you into life I knew I loved you before I met you I have been waiting all my life I knew I loved you before I met you I think I dreamed you into life I knew I loved you before I met you I have been waiting all my life I knew I loved you before I met you, I knew I loved you (Ooh hoo ooo, hoo hoo ooo) I knew I loved you before I met you, I knew I loved you (Ooh hoo ooo, hoo hoo hoo) I knew I loved you before I met you (Oh oh, ohh ohh, oh oh oh ay ay yea oh) I knew I loved you before I met you, I knew I loved you I knew I loved you before I ( can't believe the lyrics site actually added in the "ohh hoo^'s ) |
reminds me of that Bright Eyes song:
This is the first day of my life I swear I was born right in the doorway I went out in the rain suddenly everything changed They're spreading blankets on the beach Yours is the first face that I saw I think I was blind before I met you Now I don’t know where I am I don’t know where I’ve been But I know where I want to go And so I thought I’d let you know That these things take forever I especially am slow But I realize that I need you And I wondered if I could come home Remember the time you drove all night Just to meet me in the morning And I thought it was strange you said everything changed You felt as if you'd just woke up And you said “this is the first day of my life I’m glad I didn’t die before I met you But now I don’t care I could go anywhere with you And I’d probably be happy” So if you want to be with me With these things there’s no telling We just have to wait and see But I’d rather be working for a paycheck Than waiting to win the lottery Besides maybe this time is different I mean I really think you like me |
and then i listened to the song. nevermind. similar lyrics, i guess... TOTally different vibe.
this will jerk a tear or two, too: |
I just wanna drink til I'm not thirsty,
I just wanna sleep til I'm not tired, I just wanna drive til I run out of highway, Under a purple sky. ~Kid Rock That better be on my tombstone, or Ima haunt some damn body. |
Like anyone would be
I am flattered by your fascination with me Like any hot-blooded woman I have simply wanted an object to crave But you, you're not allowed You're uninvited An unfortunate slight Must be strangely exciting To watch the stoic squirm Must be somewhat heartening To watch shepherd need shepherd But you you're not allowed You're uninvited An unfortunate slight Like any uncharted territory I must seem greatly intriguing You speak of my love like You have experienced love like mine before But this is not allowed You're uninvited An unfortunate slight I don't think you unworthy I need a moment to deliberate ~Alanis Morissette |
This song, especially these lyrics have special meaning to me. I spent a long time doing things that weren't working. I put a lot of energy and earnest effort into trying to "make things work", and good things did come during this experience. But I can see now, what I couldn't see then, that I was training myself to become an expert in stuff that doesn't work. I see now how valuable that training is, now that my energy and earnest effort are rewarded instead of suspected.
I can laugh out loud now, only now, in thanks for my experience and in thanks for my reward. I dedicated this song to my girlfriend and we're both happy about it. Reading and talking with a few of my friends about the agonies they've endured, I want to turn back and shout this song to them in encouragement as we follow the same path. Come on! Don't give up! Trust me, it's worth it. You're worth it. Quote:

Many people tell you that they're your friend
You believe them You need them For what's round the river bend Make sure that you're receiving the signals they send 'Cause brother you've only got two hands to lend Maybe there's someone who makes you weep And some nights loom up ahead When you're asleep Some days there's things on your mind you should keep Sometimes it's tougher to look than to leap Better watch out for the Skin Deep Better watch out for the Skin Deep Brother watch out watch out for the Skin Deep Brother watch out watch out for the Skin Deep Better watch out for the Skin Deep One day the track that you're climbing gets steep Your emotions are frayed And your nerves are starting to creep Just remember the days As long as the time that you keep Brother you better watch out for the Skin Deep Better watch out for the Skin Deep Better watch out for the Skin Deep Brother watch out watch out for the Skin Deep Brother watch out watch out for the Skin Deep Better watch out for the Skin Deep |
A long December and there's reason to believe
Maybe this year will be better than the last I can't remember the last thing that you said as you were leaving Oh the days go by so fast And it's one more day up in the canyons And it's one more night in Hollywood If you think that I could be forgiven I wish you would The smell of hospitals in winter And the feeling that it's all a lot of oysters, but no pearls All at once you look across a crowded room To see the way that light attaches to a girl And it's one more day up in the canyons And it's one more night in Hollywood If you think you might come to California I think you should Drove up to Hillside Manor sometime after 2 a.m. And talked a little while about the year I guess the winter makes you laugh a little slower Makes you talk a little lower about the things you could not show her And it's been a long December and there's reason to believe Maybe this year will be better than the last I can't remember all the times I tried to tell myself To hold on to these moments as they pass And it's one more day up in the canyon And it's one more night in Hollywood It's been so long since I've seen the ocean I guess I should --Counting Crows |

You're waiting for your sign While Jeremiah's on his way to tell the people But you watch him pass you by You walk the streets at night still looking for your reason But you don't wanna try You swear the world has got you backed into a corner But no one holds your hand to walk into a fight You swear the light is gonna find you But it can't find you when you're waiting all the time You say, "keep my head from going down" Just for a little, just for a little Watch my feet float off the ground Just for a little, just for a little Love, if you can hear this sound Oh, just give me something, something to believe in You spend your days alone still hopin' for the truth, oh But all you hear are lies But no one else is gonna tell you what to do now No one else is gonna help you hold the line Sometimes it's hard to keep on living But you're the one who's got to know just when it's right You say, "keep my head from going down" Just for a little, just for a little Watch my feet float off the ground Just for a little, just for a little Love, if you can hear this sound Oh, just give me something, something to believe in Love, come take me now Love, come take me now Love, come take me now Love, come take me, take me now Something to Believe In--Parachute |
I like that Infi.
Went to hear it as a song on YouTube and liked it too. |
Thanks. :)
I heard it on the radio this morning and it sort of 'spoke' to me. ;) |
Once I thought I saw you
in a crowded hazy bar, Dancing on the light from star to star. Far across the moonbeam I know that's who you are, I saw your brown eyes turning once to fire. You are like a hurricane There's calm in your eye. And I'm gettin' blown away To somewhere safer where the feeling stays. I want to love you but I'm getting blown away. I am just a dreamer, but you are just a dream, You could have been anyone to me. Before that moment you touched my lips That perfect feeling when time just slips Away between us on our foggy trip. You are like a hurricane There's calm in your eye. And I'm gettin' blown away To somewhere safer where the feeling stays. I want to love you but I'm getting blown away. --Neil Young, Like a Hurricane |

Drive By
On the other side of a street I knew Stood a girl that looked like you This must be deja vu But I thought this can’t be true Cause you moved to west L.A or New York or Santa Fe Or where ever to get away from me Oh but that one night Was more than just right I didn’t leave you cause I was all through Oh I was overwhelmed and frankly scared as hell Because I really fell for you Oh I swear to ya I’ll be there for ya This is not a drive by Just a shy guy looking for a two ply Hefty bag to hold my love When you move me everything is groovy They don’t like it sue me The way you do me Oh I swear to ya I’ll be there for ya This is not a drive by On the other side of a downward spiral My love for you went viral And I loved you every mile you drove away But now here you are again So let’s skip the “how you been” And get down to the “more than friends” at last Oh but that one night Is still the highlight I didn’t leave you until I came to Oh I was overwhelmed and frankly scared as hell Because I really fell for you --Train |

"No More Lies"
I need you like you need me Truly and completely Never be apart I think that you should tell me Come right out and tell me Just what's in your heart And if you think that it's alright Let's make a deal and work it out We'll walk into the sunset you and I With no more alibies When we tell each other No more lies Well truth is my addiction Stranger still than fiction Wider than the sky And songs that have such feeling Words that have such meaning Dreams that never die And if you think that it's alright Let's turn around and start again We'll walk beside the ocean hand in hand With no more alibies When we tell each other No more lies I sometimes think that maybe You're just a little girl You know I love you baby I've got to tell the world So that's the final story The truth in all it's glory See how much I care You know you drive me crazy Thrill me and amaze me Drive me to despair And if you think that now feels right Let's close the door and dim the light We'll greet the dawn together side by side Just look into my eyes Cause you know I'll tell you No more lies --Moody Blues |
No One Would Listen
No one but her Heard as the outcast hears. Shamed into solitude Shunned by the multitude I learned to listen In my dark, my heart heard music. I longed to teach the world Rise up and reach the world No one would listen I alone could hear the music Then at last, a voice in the gloom Seemed to cry "I hear you; I hear your fears, Your torment and your tears." She saw my loneliness Shared in my emptiness No one would listen No one but her Heard as the outcast hears No one would listen No one but her Heard as the outcast hears... --from Phantom of the Opera |

Someday We'll See Them
9/8 time.
Darkness is fading, the day it is dawning The fields they are empty, nae workers today. Farmers and young men all have been going To battles in lands that lie far away. Yet one day we'll see them come by the hillside Husbands and sons will return to their homes. Yet still my heart bleeds; the price of their young pride Their widows and sweethearts left sadly to mourn. The call when it came found their menfolk aye ready, Each knew the reasons or that's what they thought. Then came the doubting but still they were steady Slow dying in cold clay a'cursing their lot. Yet one day we'll see them, there on the hillside Though knowing in hearts they are but a gleam. The grief in the long glen, the gloom at the fireside Will pass like a Spring breeze that never has been. --Alex Campbell The lyrics are tough to find by title on the net. I had to pull these searching under the pipe-tune name, "Battle of the Somme" on Mudcat.org. The recording I've got, an anthology album, has some small variations in the words -- "minnies" for "widows," "and cursing" for "a'cursing" here. |
"Love Is Not Enough"
The more that we take The paler we get I can't remember what it is We try to forget The tile on the floor So cold it can sting In your eyes is a place Worth remembering For you to go and take this, to smash it apart I've gone all this fucking way To wind up back at Back at the start [Chorus:] Hey, the closer we think we are Well it only got us so far Now you got anything left to show No no I didn't think so Hey, the sooner we realize We cover ourselves with lies But underneath we're not so tough And love is not enough Well it hides in the dark Like the withering vein We didn't give it a mouth So it cannot complain It never really had a chance We'd never really make it through I never think I'd believed I believed I could get better with you Nine Inch Nails |
Nothing to Lose
Need more friends with wings All the angels I know Put concrete in my veins I'd always walk home alone So I became lifeless Just like my telephone There's nothing to lose When no one knows your name There's nothing to gain But the days don't seem to change Never played truth or dare I'd have to check my mirror To see if I'm still here My parents had no clue That I ate all my lunches Alone in the bathroom There's nothing to lose When no one knows your name There's nothing to gain But the days don't seem to change There's nothing to lose My notebook will explain There's nothing to gain And I can't fight the pain Teacher said it's just a phase When I grow up my children Will probably do the same Kids just love to tease Who knew it'd put me under ground At seventeen There's nothing to lose When no one knows your name There's nothing to gain But the days don't seem to change There's nothing to lose My notebook will explain There's nothing to gain And I can't fight the pain There's nothing to lose When no one knows your name There's nothing to gain My notebook will explain There's nothing to lose When no one knows your name There's nothing to gain And I just died today Billy Talent |
