...And how high can you fly with broken wings?
Life's a journey and not a destination
And I just can't tell just what tomorrow brings
You have to learn to crawl
Before you learn to walk
But I just couldn't listen to all that righteous talk...
AMAZING
AEROSMITH
From "BIG ONES"
...Well I jumped into the river too many times
To make it home
I'm out here drifting on my own, and drifting all alone
If it doesn't show give it time
To read between the lines
'Cause I see the storm is getting closer
And the waves they get so high
Seems everything we've ever known's here
Why must it drift away and die...
Estranged
GUNS AND ROSES
From "USE YOUR ILLUSION 11"
...I don't need your civil war
It feeds the rich while it buries the poor
Your power hungry sellin' soldiers
In a human grocery store
Ain't that fresh
I don't need your civil war...
CIVIL WAR
GUNS AND ROSES
From "USE YOUR ILLUSION 11"
...Mama put my guns in the ground
I can't shoot them anymore
That cold black cloud is comin' down
Feels like I'm knockin' on Heaven's door...
KNOCKIN' ON HEAVEN'S DOOR
GUNS AND ROSES
From "USE YOUR ILLUSION 11"
...Searching in the darkness
Fading out of sight
Love was here and gone like a theif in the night...
Stone cold...
And I thought I knew you so well...
Stone cold
Can't break away from your spell...
You leave me stone cold...
STONE COLD
RAINBOW
From "STRAIGHT BETWEEN THE EYES"
...Communication
Let's fall in love with music
The driving force in our living
The only international language
Divine glory, the expression
The knees bow the tongue
Confesses
The lord of lords, the king of kings
Words and music-My only tools...
MAN OF GOLDEN WORDS
MOTHER LOVE BONE
From "STARDOG CHAMPION"
...Wherever you go I'll be with you
Whatever you want I'll give it to you
Whenever you need someone
To lay your heart and head upon
Remember after the fire
After all the rain
I will be the flame...
THE FLAME
CHEAP TRICK
...Black velvet and that little boy's smile
Black velvet with that slow southern style
A new religion that'll bring you to your knees
Black velvet if you please...
BLACK VELVET
ALANNAH MILES
From "ALANNAH MILES"
...Ride the snake, ride the snake
To the lake, the ancient lake, baby
The snake is long, seven miles
Ride the snake...he's old, and his skin is cold...
THE END
DOORS
From "DOORS"
...I'm doing you a favor
As I'm taking all your money
I guess I should feel sorry
But I don't even trust me
There's bad news creeping up
And you feel a sudden chill
How do you do? My name is trouble
I'm coming in for the kill...
And you know I will...
TRAIN OF CONSEQUENCES
MEGADEATH
From "YOUTHANASIA"
...Wanted one good-hearted woman
To forgive imperfection in the man the she loved
Wanted just one chance to tell her
How much he still loves her
He can't be sorry enough...
WANTED
ALAN JACKSON
...So here you are
You brought everything on yourself
So easy to fall
When you're all alone by yourself
He said he's tried everything he could
A fool's illusion one more lie
There'll be demons waitin' in the shadows of
A concrete world
Tear's are runnin' tonight
You say you believe in love
And still you run...
EASY TO FALL
JOURNEY
From "TRIAL BY FIRE"
...Life it seems to fade away
Drifting furthur everyday
Getting lost withing myself
Nothing matters no one else
I have lost the will to live
Simply nothing more to give
There's nothing more for me
Need the end to set me free...
FADE TO BLACK
METALLICA
From "RIDE THE LIGHTNING"
...I meant to do that
Does that mean a thing
If you wanted songs
Then I meant to sing
I'd give you the world
If you'd give mine back
What I didn't do
I meant to do that...
I MEANT TO DO THAT
PAUL BRANDT
From "CALM BEFORE THE STORM"
...Hard times are real
There's dusty fields
No matter where you go
You may change your mind
'Cause the weeds are high
Where corn don't grow...
WHERE CORN DON'T GROW
TRAVIS TRITT
From "THE RESTLESS KIND"
...have I been blind
have I been lost
inside my self and
my own mind
hypnotized
mesmerized
by what my eyes have seen?
have I been wrong
have I been wise
to shut my eyes
and play along
hypnotized
paralyzed
by what my eyes have found
by what my eyes have seen
what they have seen...?
CARNIVAL
NATALIE MERCHANT
FROM "TIGERLILY"
...No more turning away
From the weak and the weary
No more turning away
From the coldness inside
Just a world that we all must share
It's not enough just to stand and stare
Is it only a dream that there'll be
No more turning away...?
ON THE TURNING AWAY
PINK FLOYD
FROM "MOMENTARY LAPSE OF REASON"
...Above the planet on a wing and a prayer,
My grubby halo, a vapour trail in the empty air,
Across the clouds I see my shadow fly
Out of the corner of my watering eye
A dream unthreatened by the morning light
Could blow this soul right through the roof of the night
There's no sensation to compare with this
Suspended animation, A state of bliss
Can't keep my eyes from the circling skies
Tongue-tied and twisted just an earth-bound misfit, I...
LEARNING TO FLY
PINK FLOYD
FROM "MOMENTARY LAPSE OF REASON"
...Can you feel me inside your heart as it's bleeding
Why can't you believe you can be loved
I hear you scream in agony
And the horse stampedes and rages in the name of desperation
Is it all just wasted time
Can you look at yourself when you think of what you left behind
Is it all just wasted time
Can you live with yourself when you think of what you left behind ...
WASTED TIME
SKID ROW
FROM "SLAVE TO THE GRIND"
...I think about my life gone by
And how it's done me wrong
There's no escape for me this time
All of my excuses are gone, long gone...
HAZARD
RICHARD MARX
FROM "RUSH STREET"
Unsealed, on a porch a letter sat
Then you said, 'I wanna leave it again'
Once I saw her on a beach of weathered sand
And on the sand I wanna leave it again, yeah...
On a weekend, I wanna wish it all away, yeah...
And they called and I said that I want what I said...
And then I call out again...
And the reason, oughta' leave her calm, I know
I said, 'I know what I wear, not a boxer or the bag'
Ah yeah...can you see them?
Out on the porch, yeah, but they don't wave
I see them, round the front way, yeah...
And I know and I know I don't want to stay
Make me cry...
I see, ooh...I don't know why there's something else
I wanna drum it all away
Oh, I said, I don't, I don't know a-where there's a boxer or the bag'
Ah yeah...can you see them?
Out on the porch, yeah, but they don't wave
I see them, round the front way, yeah...
And I know, and I know, I don't wanna stay alone...
I don't wanna stay...yeah...
I don't wanna stay... (2x)
I don't, don't wanna, oh...yeah...ooh...ohh...
YELLOW LEDBETTER
PEARL JAM
I remember waking in the morning
To the sound of the rooster's crow
Mamma cooking in the kitchen
Arthur Godfrey on the radio
Me and Dad were just like strangers
We never did see eye to eye
Came to blows one Sunday morning
So I packed my bags and I said goodbye
CHORUS
When you leave that way you can never go back
A train won't run on a torn up track
Sometimes I wish I'd never roamed,oh no
'Cause when you leave that way you can never go home
Then I met a girl in Knoxville
Oh, we set our wedding day
I left her standing at the alter
With a baby on the way
REPEAT CHORUS
Lord I'd love to see my mom and daddy
And what I'd give to hold that boy of mine
I'd get down on my knees and I'd say I'm sorry
If I could only go back one more time
But I killed a man in Houston
When he caught me with his wife
And I told the preacher man to leave me alone
When he came to read my rights
CHORUS
He said son,when you leave this way you can never come back
A soul won't roll on a torn up track
All through eternity you'll roam alone
'Cause when you leave this way you can never come home
All through eternity you'll roam alone
'Cause when you leave this way you can never come home
WHEN YOU LEAVE THAT WAY (YOU CAN NEVER GO BACK)
