"Stop Crying Your Heart Out" - Oasis

Hold on, hold on

Don't be scared

You'll never change

What's been and gone

May your smile shine on

Don't be scared

Your destiny

May keep you warm

Cause all of the stars

Are fading away

Just try not to worry

You'll see them some day

Take what you need

And be on your way

And stop crying your heart out

Get up, come on

Why're you scared

You'll never change

What's been and gone

Cause all of the stars

Are fading away

Just try not to worry

You'll see them some day

Take what you need

And be on your way

And stop crying your heart out

We're all of us stars

We're fading away

Just try not to worry

We'll see us some day

Just take what you need

And be on your way

And stop crying your heart out

Stop crying your heart out

Stop crying your heart out

:'(

"The Book Of My Life" - Sting

Let me watch by the fire and remember my days

And it may be a trick of the firelight

But the flickering pages that trouble my sight

Is a book I'm afraid to write

It's the book of my days, it's the book of my life

And it's cut like a fruit on the blade of a knife

And it's all there to see as the section reveals

There's some sorrow in every life

If it reads like a puzzle, a wandering maze

Then I won't understand 'til the end of my days

I'm still forced to remember,

Remember the words of my life

There are promises broken and promises kept

Angry words that were spoken when I should have wept

There's a chapter of secrets, and words to confess

If I lose everything that I possess

There's a chapter on loss and a ghost who won't die

There's a chapter on love where the ink's never dry

There are sentences served in a prison I built out of lies

Though the pages are numbered

I can't see where they lead

For the end is a mystery no-one can read

In the book of my life

There's a chapter on fathers a chapter on sons

There are pages of conflicts that nobody won

And the battles you lost and your bitter defeat

There's a page where we fail to meet

There are tales of good fortune that couldn't be planned

There's a chapter on God that I don't understand

There's a promise of Heaven and Hell but I'm damned if I see

Though the pages are numbered

I can't see where they lead

For the end is a mystery no-one can read

In the book of my life

Now the daylight's returning

And if one sentence is true

All these pages are burning

And all that's left is you

Though the pages are numbered

I can't see where they lead

For the end is a mystery no-one can read

In the book of my life

"Warrior" - Andy Caldwell

Warrior, show me the way

Warrior, show me the way

Show me how you got to be so strong

Want you there if ever I'm wrong

Oh warrior, show me the way

I've been thinking about you since I began

Give me time, I'm doing all I can

You've been stealing my attention all day

I hope to get you coming my way

Every day it gets better

Fought your battles and you never let up

Oh warrior, show me the way

Warrior, show me the way

Warrior, show me the way

Warrior, show me the way

Warrior, show me the way

Show me how you do it, Baby

Warrior, show me the way

How you do it, how you do it, Baby

" Ordinary World"

Duran Duran

"Ordinary World"

Came in from a rainy Thursday

On the avenue

Thought I heard you talking softly

I turned on the lights, the TV

And the radio

Still I can't escape the ghost of you

What has happened to it all?

Crazy, some are saying

Where is the life that I recognize?

Gone away

But I won't cry for yesterday

There's an ordinary world

Somehow I have to find

And as I try to make my way

To the ordinary world

I will learn to survive

Passion or coincidence

Once prompted you to say

"Pride will tear us both apart"

Well now pride's gone out the window

Cross the rooftops

Run away

Left me in the vacuum of my heart

What is happening to me?

Crazy, some'd say

Where is my friend when I need you most?

Gone away

But I won't cry for yesterday

There's an ordinary world

Somehow I have to find

And as I try to make my way

To the ordinary world

I will learn to survive

Papers in the roadside

Tell of suffering and greed

Here today, forgot tomorrow

Ooh, here besides the news

Of holy war and holy need

Ours is just a little sorrowed talk

And I don't cry for yesterday

There's an ordinary world

Somehow I have to find

And as I try to make my way

To the ordinary world

I will learn to survive

Every one

Is my world, I will learn to survive

Any one

Is my world, I will learn to survive

Any one

Is my world

Every one

Is my world

"The Living"

Natalie Merchant

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=tRjwnGwZco8

"The Living"

What's it like there outside

With the living?

From this broken down place

Where I hide

From the living

From the living

Cause I don't care to stay

With the living

O, the bottle has been to me

My closest friend and

My worst enemy

Afraid that I've walked a fine line

Squandered it all

And wasted my time

And I don't stand a chance

Among the living

All the lovers I've gambled and lost

Count my mistakes

Whatever the cost

I'll go off, I'll make myself scarce

Come tomorrow

You won't find me here

Cause I don't care to stay

Among the living

No, I don't think I'll remain

"Sleepwalking"

John Paul White

Where am I

What am I doing here

Used to be

Everything was crystal clear

Standing at a crossroads

Where they lead

I don"t know

So, I"m wandering around

I"m sleepwalking

Trying to keep from falling

I know I oughta move

But I"m scared where I head off to

Ain"t where I ought to be

So I"m sleepwalking

Everyone seems to know what"s best for me

No matter what they say

They"re just clichés I don"t believe

So, I"m putting on a brave face

Pretending like I"m wide awake

So they"ll leave me alone

While I"m sleepwalking

Trying to keep from falling

I know I oughta move

But I"m scared where I head off to

Ain"t where I ought to be

So I"m sleepwalking

Oooh, Is it her, is it me

It"s all a blur, I can"t see

Or will I always be sleepwalking

Trying to keep from falling

I know I oughta move

But, I"m scared where I head off to

Ain"t where I ought to be

So I"m sleepwalking

I"m sleepwalking

❤️

"Sink or Swim" - Tyrone Wells

Caught in the middle of a crossfire

Lost my balance on a high wire

Trying to figure out what to do

Pushed to the edge of my reason

Everywhere around me it's treason

I don't want to do that to you

Kamikaze airplanes in the sky

Are we going down or will we fly

This could be a shipwreck on the shore

Or we could sail away forevermore

This time it's sink or swim

Sink or swim

Hearing the song in your laughter

A melody I chase after

No one else has done this to me

Kamikaze airplanes in the sky

Are we going down or will we fly

This could be a shipwreck on the shore

We could sail away forevermore

This time it's sink or swim

Take a deep breath, no more time left

This is what I thought I wanted

Why am I afraid

Kamikaze airplanes in the sky

Are we going down or will we fly

This could be a shipwreck on the shore

Or we could sail away forevermore

Kamikaze airplanes in the sky

Are we going down or will we fly

This could be a shipwreck on the shore

Or we could sail away forevermore

This time it's sink or swim

Sink or swim

"Break Me Out" - The Rescues

My empty room

Crowded too soon

I look for the fire escape

I picture myself

Running like Hell

Making my getaway

The walls are caving in with no warning

This ship is sinking

I gotta swim for it

I'm running out of air

[CHORUS:]

Break me out tonight

I wanna feel the sun rising anywhere but here

Come with me, this could be

The only chance we get

We gotta take it

If we don't do it now we'll never make it

Lose this crowd

Break me out

Stare at our feet

Sneak down the street

Some kind of secret race

They'll carry on

Won't notice we're gone

So easily replaced

The walls are caving in with no warning

This ship is sinking

I gotta swim for it

I'm running out of air

[CHORUS:]

The walls are caving in with no warning

This ship is sinking

I gotta swim for it

I got a feeling we're better off anyway

I don't care what they say

Break me out tonight

I wanna see the sun rising anywhere but here

Come with me, this could be

The only chance we get

We gotta take it

If we don't do it now we'll never make it

Lose this crowd

Break me out

"Walk Unafraid"

R.E.M.

https://youtu.be/sj84YRn3vcc

First Aid Kit

As the sun comes up

As the moon goes down

These heavy notions creep around

It makes me think

Long ago

I was brought into this life

A little lamb, a little lamb

Courageous, stumbling

Fearless was my middle name

But somewhere there I lost my way

Everyone walks the same

Expecting me to step

The narrow path they've laid

They claim to

Walk unafraid

I'll be clumsy instead

Hold me, love me or leave me high

Say keep within the boundaries

If you want to play

Say contradiction only makes it harder

How can I be

What I want to be

When all I want to do is strip away

These stilled constraints

And crush this charade

Shred this sad masquerade

I don't need no persuading

I'll trip, fall, pick myself up

And walk unafraid

I'll be clumsy instead

Hold me, love me or leave me high

If I have a bag of rocks to carry as I go

I just want to hold my head up high

I don't care what I have to step over

I'm prepared to look you in the eye

Look me in the eye

And if you see familiarity

Then celebrate the contradiction

Help me when I fall to

Walk unafraid

I'll be clumsy instead

Hold me,  love me or leave me high

Walk unafraid

I'll be clumsy instead

Hold me, love me or leave me high

"Every Storm (Runs Out Of Rain)" - Gary Allan

Oh so you're standing in the middle

Of the thunder and lightning

I know you're feeling like you just can't win

But you're trying

It's hard to keep on keeping on

When you're being pushed around

Don't even know which way is up

You just keep spinning down, around, down

[CHORUS:]

Every storm runs, runs out of rain

Just like every dark night turns into day

Every heartache will fade away

Just like every storm runs, runs out of rain

So hold your head up

And tell yourself that there's something more

And walk out that door

Go find a new rose

Don't be afraid of the thorns

Cause we all have thorns

Just put your feet up to the edge

Put your face in the wind

And when you fall back down

Keep on remembering

[CHORUS:]

It's gonna run out of pain

It's gonna run out of sting

It's gonna leave you alone

It's gonna set you free

Set you free

Every storm runs, runs out of rain

Just like every dark night turns into day

Every heartache will fade away

Just like every storm runs, runs out of rain

It's gonna set you free

It's gonna run out of pain

And set you free

"White Dove" - Lynyrd Skynyrd

White Dove sitting on a blackberry bush

Is there any questioning why

Tell me what heaven

You're bound for today

Feel just like I could cry

Feel just like I could cry

Little squirrel sitting on a flat squared rock

Wondering where the winter meal

Is coming from

I'm tired of fighting for it

I'm gonna lay down my gun

Just know that my work is done

Just know that my work is done

Little boy blue now come blow your horn

No more of the sheep is around

I said I'm tired of fighting

I'm gonna lay down my gun

Just know that my work is done

Just know that my work is done

Just know that my work is done

Just know that my work is done

"Disappearing World" - David Gray

https://youtu.be/zQOVuXIUZpc

Slowly the truth is loading

I'm weighted down with love

Snow lying deep and even

Strung out and dreaming of

Night falling on the city

Quite something to behold

Don't it just look so pretty

This disappearing world

We're threading hope like fire

Down through the desperate blood

Down through the trailing wire

Into the leafless wood

Night falling on the city

Quite something to behold

Don't it just look so pretty

This disappearing world

This disappearing world

I'll be sticking right there with it

I'll be by your side

Sailing like a silver bullet

Hit 'em between the eyes

Through the smoke and rising water

Cross the great divide

Baby till it all feels right

Night falling on the city

Sparkling red and gold

Don't it just look so pretty

This disappearing world

This disappearing world

This disappearing world

This disappearing world

"Send Me An Angel" - Scorpions

The wise man said just walk this way

To the dawn of the light

The wind will blow into your face

As the years pass you by

Hear this voice from deep inside

It's the call of your heart

Close your eyes and you will find

The passage out of the dark

Here I am

Will you send me an angel

Here I am

In the land of the morning star

The wise man said just find your place

In the eye of the storm

Seek the roses along the way

Just beware of the thorns

Here I am

Will you send me an angel

Here I am

In the land of the morning star

The wise man said just raise your hand

And reach out for the spell

Find the door to the promised land

Just believe in yourself

Hear this voice from deep inside

It's the call of your heart

Close your eyes and you will find

The way out of the dark

Here I am

Will you send me an angel

Here I am

In the land of the morning star

"One By One" - Enya

Here am I

Yet another Goodbye

He says Adios, says Adios

And do you know why

She won't break down and cry

She says Adios, says Adios, Goodbye.

One by one my leaves fall

One by one my tales are told

It's no lie

She is yearning to fly

She says Adios, says Adios

And now you know why

He's a reason to sigh

She says Adios, says Adios, Goodbye

One by one my leaves fall

One by one my tales are told

My, oh my

She was aiming too high

He says Adios, says Adios

And now you know why

There's no moon in her sky

He says Adios, says Adios, Goodbye

He says Adios, says Adios, Goodbye

No Goodbyes

Love brightens their eyes

Don't say Adios, say Adios

And do you know why

There's a love that won't die

Don't say Adios, say Adios, Goodbye

Don't say Adios, say Adios, Goodby

Don't say Adios, say Adios, Goodbye

"Everybody Has A Dream" - Billy Joel

While in these days of quiet desperation

As I wander through the world in which I live

I search everywhere for some new inspiration

But it's more than cold reality can give

If I need a cause for celebration

Or a comfort I can use to ease my mind

I rely on my imagination

And I dream of an imaginary time

And I know that everybody has a dream

Everybody has a dream

And this is my dream, my own

Just to be at home

And to be all alone with you

If I believe in all the words I'm saying

And if a word from you can bring a better day

Then all I have are these games that I've been playing

To keep my hope from crumbling away

So let me lie and let me go on sleeping

And I will lose myself in palaces of sand

And all the fantasies that I will be keeping

Will make the empty hours easier to stand

And I know that everybody has a dream

Everybody has a dream

And this is my dream, my own

Just to be at home

And to be all alone with you

"I Don't Wanna Grow Up"

Holly Cole

https://youtu.be/nI-AoZxc_ps

Ramones

https://youtu.be/73NdmMYZsnM

When I'm lying in my bed at night

I don't wanna grow up

Nothing ever seems to turn out right

I don't wanna grow up

How do you move in a world of fog

That's always changing things

Makes me wish I could be a dog

When I see the price that you pay

I don't wanna grow up

I don't ever wanna be that way

I don't wanna grow up

Seems like folks turn into things

They never want

The only thing to live for is today

I'm gonna put a hole in my TV set

I don't wanna grow up

Open up the medicine chest

I don't wanna grow up

I don't wanna have to shout it out

I don't want my hair to fall out

I don't wanna be filled with doubt

I don't wanna be a good boy scout

I don't wanna have to learn to count

I don't wanna have the biggest amount

I don't wanna grow up

When I see my parents fight

I don't wanna grow up

They all go out and drinking all night

I don't wanna grow up

I'd rather stay here in my room

Nothing out there but sad and gloom

I wanna live in a big old tomb on Grand Street

When I see the 5 o'clock news

I don't wanna grow up

Comb their hair and shine their shoes

I don't wanna grow up

Stay around in my old hometown

I don't wanna put no money down

I don't wanna get me a big old loan

Work them fingers to the bone

I don't wanna float a broom

Fall in love, get married, then boom

How the hell did we get here so soon

I don't wanna grow up

  TWO YEAR ANNIVERSARY 

Where do I begin, first of all this is not a blonde moment being a day early, lol, let's frame this as a longer celebration time shall we?  I'm also trying to pull off the surprise, let's see if I can execute this, it's been some time since I've done this type of post!

Today, well tomorrow, lol, the adorable lovable- yes, I saw that a few months ago, ahem abcd, our host, the queen of tunes is celebrating 2 years. abcd and I go wayyyyy wayyyyyyy back to the jumpers thread, where these celebrations added some fun amidst the misery. It continues still, sharing humor and love, MB,Ji I'm feeling quite nostalgic already and I'm beginning to ramble aren't I?  This is my tribute to a remarkable achievement by a truly remarkable friend.

abcd  I am so very incredibly proud and inspired by you each and every day. You simply have no idea, I'm often unable to express myself eloquently. You are fearless, courageous and determined, a true warrior in this fight, your heart and spirit are simply unparalleled in the midst of seemingly endless suffering.

This fight will be won. Two years already, sighs, yes, it's taking a little longer than we hoped, what an understatement, right? Enough of that, moving on...

A little fun is in order,  I see you're still doing the vampire strolling many nights...

.all dressed up in your finery, sprinkling music to soothe weary souls on this journey.

http://cdn.24.co.za/files/Cms/General/d/2444/8b50f0627ae74bc5bd1eff2e5d853d12.gif

Stumbling along occasionally, oops this journey isn't for the faint of heart is it? Aren't the usual laments more along these lines?

Sorry, couldn't help myself.....a little gallows humor goes a long way in coping with this disaster, that's the kinder word?..I'll flip this around before I go totally off the plot, which of course is sending love, always love!

A song for you in parting, a little love song, ok? Hopefully it's not a poach, lol. This thread and the music shared is an absolute gift and soothes my soul. Thank you, abcd, with so much love....Huge Congratulations on 2 years!!!

Celine Dion - Because You Loved Me

Because You Loved Me"

For all those times you stood by me

For all the truth that you made me see

For all the joy you brought to my life

For all the wrong that you made right

For every dream you made come true

For all the love I found in you

I'll be forever thankful baby

You're the one who held me up

Never let me fall

You're the one who saw me through through it all

You were my strength when I was weak

You were my voice when I couldn't speak

You were my eyes when I couldn't see

You saw the best there was in me

Lifted me up when I couldn't reach

You gave me faith 'coz you believed

I'm everything I am

Because you loved me

You gave me wings and made me fly

You touched my hand I could touch the sky

I lost my faith, you gave it back to me

You said no star was out of reach

You stood by me and I stood tall

I had your love I had it all

I'm grateful for each day you gave me

Maybe I don't know that much

But I know this much is true

I was blessed because I was loved by you

You were my strength when I was weak

You were my voice when I couldn't speak

You were my eyes when I couldn't see

You saw the best there was in me

Lifted me up when I couldn't reach

You gave me faith 'coz you believed

I'm everything I am

Because you loved me

You were always there for me

The tender wind that carried me

A light in the dark shining your love into my life

You've been my inspiration

Through the lies you were the truth

My world is a better place because of you

You were my strength when I was weak

You were my voice when I couldn't speak

You were my eyes when I couldn't see

You saw the best there was in me

Lifted me up when I couldn't reach

You gave me faith 'coz you believed

I'm everything I am

Because you loved me

I'm everything I am

Because you loved me

❤️❤️❤️

Oh, Saga MBB! 

Couldn't resist, gotta have a little fun on my day of major celebration 

My blow by blow reaction when I saw your awesome and *very, very* unexpected post.

And back to this with the beautiful Celine song (is she in a wedding gown?)

You pulling that off last night under such hideous circumstances, not excluding your ahem technical "challenges" 

Yes, you got me good, Woman, I did *not* see that coming at all ... pure LLTSM, I know that, big, big hugs and appreciation my dearest of friends.

And you absolutely nailed it, not even an abrupt ending, OMFG, totally putting me to shame! 

I just thank the Heavens (and Buddy ) that our paths crossed and all the stars aligned  .  Serendipity.

What a ride, what a long and painful ride this has and continues to be for the two of us left behind sniffling at the back of the bus.

Yet here we still are, plowing through all the madness, the cruel suffering and the days of terrible despair.

And still, we laugh, always, always we manage to laugh, that same kooky sense of humor, who'd have thought! 

I love you so much more for that, MB, my Gd you're fun to hang around with, you are just SOOOO much fun!

Thank you, thank you for EVERYTHING!  I love you!  Mwah.

Oh lookee, Googs just handed me a gift, here I am the Queen of Tunes ...

"The Long And Winding Road"

Diana Ross

George Benson

Gladys Knight & The Pips

The long and winding road

That leads to your door

Will never disappear

I've seen that road before

It always leads me here

Lead me to your door

The wild and windy night

That the rain washed away

Has left a pool of tears

Crying for the day

Why leave me standing here

Let me know the way

Many times I've been alone

Many times I've cried

Anyway you'll never know

The many ways I've tried

And still they lead me back

To the long winding road

You left me standing here

A long, long time ago

Don't leave me waiting here

Lead me to your door
