Amstel Posted August 7, 2005 Posted August 7, 2005 "I used to think that the day would never come I'd see delight in the shade in the morning sun My morning sun is a drug that brings me near to a childhood I lost replaced by fear" not too obvious Second one- "Exit the warrior today's Tom Sawyer he gets high on you and the energy you trade he gets right onto the friction of the day" kind of stereotypical for a Rush fan I guess Last one- "I've been sitting here bout half the night mama fill my cup up I came to waste some time I think I'm gonna jump up" Classic VH
Surfmeister Posted August 7, 2005 Posted August 7, 2005 Well I sat down in my closet With all my overalls Trying to get away from All the ears inside my walls That's from American poet songwriter John Prine. Prine writes what I call "real music". If you know what I mean and I think you do.
Rico Posted August 7, 2005 Posted August 7, 2005 We started living in an old house My ma gave birth and we were checking it out It was a baby boy So we bought him a toy It was a ray gun And it was 1981 We named him "Baby" He had a toothache He started crying It sounded like an earthquake It didn't last long Because I stopped it I grabbed a rag doll And stuck some little pins in it Now we're a family And we're alright now We got some money and a little place To fight now We don't know you And we don't owe you But if you see us around I got something else to show you
KD in CA Posted August 7, 2005 Posted August 7, 2005 One of these nights One of these crazy old nights We're gonna find out Pretty mama What turns on your lights The full moon is calling The fever is high And the wicked wind whispers And moans You got your demons You got desires Well, I got a few of my own
buckeyemike Posted August 8, 2005 Posted August 8, 2005 "If I Stand" by the late great Rich Mullins. This song has mostly piano accompaniment (played by Michael W. Smith), with some bass guitar and snare drum thrown in: There's more that rises in the morning Than the sun More that shines in the night Than just the moon There's more than just this fire here That keeps me warm In a shelter that is larger Than this room And there's a loyalty that's deeper Than mere sentiment And a music higher than the songs That I can sing The stuff of earth competes For the allegiance I owe only to the Giver of all good things... Chorus: So if I stand let me stand on the promise That You will pull me through And if I can't let me fall on the grace That first brought me to you And if I sing let me sing for the joy That has born in me these songs But if I weep let it be as a man Who is longing for his home. There's more that dances on the prairies Than the wind More that pulses in the ocean Than the tide There's a love that is fiercer Than the love between friends More gentle than a mother's When her baby's at her side. And there's a loyalty that's deeper Than mere sentiment And a music higher than the songs That I can sing Stuff of earth competes For the allegiance I owe only to the Giver Of all good things. (Chorus *2) And if I weep let it be as a man Who is longing for his home. Mike

BRH Posted August 9, 2005 Posted August 9, 2005 One of these nightsOne of these crazy old nights We're gonna find out Pretty mama What turns on your lights The full moon is calling The fever is high And the wicked wind whispers And moans You got your demons You got desires Well, I got a few of my own 401445[/snapback] I have a mansion, forget the price Ain't never been there, they tell me it's nice I live in hotels, tear out the walls I have accountants pay for it all They say I'm crazy but I have a good time I'm just looking for clues at the scene of the crime Life's been good to me so far My Maserati does one-eighty-five I lost my license, now I don't drive I have a limo, ride in the back I lock the doors in case I'm attacked I'm making records, my fans they can't wait They write me letters, tell me I'm great So I got me an office, gold records on the wall Just leave a message, maybe I'll call Lucky I'm sane after all I've been through Everybody says I'm cool (He's cool) I can't complain but sometimes I still do Life's been good to me so far I go to parties sometimes until four It's hard to leave when you can't find the door It's tough to handle this fortune and fame Everybody's so different I haven't changed They say I'm lazy but it takes all my time Everybody says Oh yeah (Oh yeah) I keep on going guess I'll never know why Life's been good to me so far
