"Creating A Dream" - Xavier Rudd

 

Imagine

Everywhere was free to roam

Imagine

If the trees could tell us where to go

Imagine

That the sun could fill each lonely heart

Imagine

Confrontation never got a start

 

Imagine

Things were always crystal clear

Imagine

If the mind never interfered

Imagine

We could fly with broken wings

Imagine

If the heart could shed its skin

 

Please, patience, please

Patience please

I'm creating a dream

(x2)

 

Imagine

Sacred sites were left to be

Imagine

If true activists controlled TV

Imagine

Captain Watson had the final say

Imagine

If industry just had to obey

 

Please, patience, please

Patience please

I'm creating a dream

 

Please, patience, please

Patience please

I'm creating a dream

 

Please, patience, please

Patience please

I'm creating a dream

"Belong" - Joshua Radin

 

It's been awhile

You've been walking alone

It's been awhile

It's been awhile

Since your heart had a home

It's been awhile

 

You remember the way you came tumbling down

Down to your knees like never before

You're at the bottom in a bottomless town

And as you lie on the floor

 

[CHORUS:]

The rain falls over your face

Drowned in this place too long

Well I know that the sun shines

And fights for your day

You hear it say "Be strong"

Don't let it go

Just keep holding on

Oh, soon you'll see that you belong

 

You know there's still darkness ahead

You know it

And I know you heard the things that they said

You try not to show it

 

You remember the way you came tumbling down

Down to your knees like never before

You're at the bottom in a bottomless town

And you can't see the door

 

[CHORUS]

 

You belong, you already belong, you belong

 

You remember the way you came tumbling down

Down to your knees like never before

You're at the bottom in a bottomless town

And as you lie on the floor

 

The rain falls over your face

Drowned in this place too long

Well I know that the sun shines

And fights for your day

You hear it say "Be strong"

Don't let it go

Just keep holding on

Oh, soon you'll see that you belong

"If I Had Wings" - Peter, Paul & Mary

 

If I had wings

No-one would ask me should I fly

The bird sings

No-one asks why

I can see in myself wings as I feel them

If you see something else

Keep your thoughts to yourself

I'll fly free then

 

Yesterday's eyes see their colors fading away

They see their sun turning to gray

You can't share in a dream that you don't believe in

If you say that you see and pretend to be me

You won't be then

 

How can you ask if I'm happy going my way

You might as well ask a child at play

There's no need to discuss or understand me

I won't ask of myself to become something else

I'll just be me

 

If I had wings

No-one would ask me should I fly

The bird sings

No-one asks why

I can see in myself wings as I feel them

If you see something else

Keep your thoughts to yourself

I'll fly free then

"And The Healing Has Begun" - Van Morrison

https://youtu.be/wZl96Bciv80

 

And we'll walk down the avenue again

And we'll sing all the songs from way back when

And we'll walk down the avenue again

And the healing has begun

 

And we'll walk down the avenue in style

And we'll walk down the avenue and we'll smile

And we'll say, Baby, ain't it all worthwhile

And the healing has begun

 

I want you to put on your pretty summer dress

You can wear your Easter bonnet and all the rest

And I wanna make love to you yes, yes, yes

When the healing has begun

When the healing has begun

 

When you hear the music ringing in your soul

And you feel it in your heart and it grows and grows

And it comes from the backstreet rock and roll

And the healing has begun

 

I want you to put on your pretty summer dress

You can wear your Easter bonnet and all the rest

And I wanna make love to you yes, yes

And the healing has begun

 

We're gonna make music underneath the stars

We're gonna play to the violin and the two guitars

And we'll sit there and play for hours and hours

And hours and hours and hours and hours

When the healing has begun

When the healing has begun

 

[spoken:] Wait a minute, listen, listen

I didn't know you stayed up so late

I just got home from a gig

And I saw you standing on the street

Just let me move on up

To this window-sill a little bit here

I got some sherry, a drop of port

Let's move behind this door here

Let's move on up behind this letter-box

Let's go in your front room,

Let's play this Muddy Waters record you got there

If you just open up a little bit

And come and dig this backstreet jelly roll

 

We're gonna stay out all night long

And then we're gonna go out and roam across the field

Baby, you know how I feel

When the healing has begun

 

When the healing

When the healing has begun

We're gonna dance

We're gonna stay out all night long

We're gonna dance to the rock and roll

When the healing

When the healing has begun

"You Saved My Life" - Patti LaBelle

 

 

Now and then

I look where I have been

Seems the good

Sometimes went wrong

I see in you

The love that pulled me through

The love that kept me strong

 

You saved my life

When drowning in a lonely sea

You reached out and rescued me

You saved my life

With love

You saved my life

 

You've been there

When no one dared to care

Somehow you shielded me from all harm

Oh, a guiding light

In my darkest night

You are my shelter in the storm

 

You saved my life

When all around was sinking sand 

You were there with outstretched hands

You saved my life

With love

You saved my life

 

With nothing to gain

You bared my pain from the start

You showed me love from the heart

When all else failed

All faith in you I held

Yes, my life, my soul

 

I owe it to you, I owe it to you

I owe it to you

 

You saved my life

It took time but now I see

Your love supplies all my needs

You saved my life

 

I said with love

You saved my life

Don't know what I'd do without you

You saved my life

Jessica Harp - Lonely Anywhere

 

 

Today I packed a bag

 

No, but you don't know it yet

Guess, it's your turn to get a taste

Of just how quiet this place can get

 

That clock up on the wall

Don't seem to move at all

When you're home you're never here

The man I love has disappeared

 

Oh, why should I waste any more of my tears, my time

When I leave my heart on the line?

I don't know where I'll end up but there's one thing I'm sure of

I could be lonely, I could be lonely anywhere

 

Maybe I'll just drive

Until water is all I see

Sit on the mountainside at night

With only echoes to comfort me

 

I'll miss the love we had

But I've gotten used to that

And if I'm gonna be alone

I might as well be on my own

 

Oh, why should I waste any more of my tears, my time

When I leave my heart on the line?

I don't know where I'll end up but there's one thing I'm sure of

I could be lonely, I could be lonely

 

Oh, why should I waste any more of my tears, my time

When I leave my heart on the line?

I don't know where I'll end up but there's one thing I'm sure of

I could be lonely, I could be lonely

I could be lonely anywhere]

Lloyd Cole And The Commotions - Are you Ready to be Heartbroken?

 

 

Looking like a born again

Living like a heretic

Listening to arthur lee records

Making all your friends feel so guilty

About their cynicism

And the rest of their generation

Not even the government are gonna stop you now

But are you ready to be heartbroken?

Are you ready to be heartbroken?

 

Pumped up full of vitamins

On account of all the seriousness

You say you're so happy now

You can hardly stand

Lean over on the bookcase

If you really want to get straight

Read Norman Mailer

Or get a new tailor

Are you ready to be heartbroken?

Are you ready to be heartbroken?

Are you ready to bleed?

 

What would it take

What would it take to wipe that smile off of your face?

Are you ready to be, are you ready to bleed?

 

Are you ready to be heartbroken?

Are you ready to bleed? (heartbroken)

Well you better get ready now baby

Are you ready to bleed? , ready to bleed?

Low - (That's How You Sing) Amazing Grace

 

 

I knew this girl when I was young

She took her spikes from everyone

One night she swallowed up the lake

That's how you sing amazing grace

Amazing grace

Amazing grace

It sounds like razors in my ears

That bell's been ringing now for years

Someday I'll give it all away

That's how you sing amazing grace

Oh, can you hear that sweet sweet sound

Yeah, I was lost but now I'm found

Sometimes there's nothing left to save

That's how you sing amazing grace

Amazing grace

That's how you sing amazing grace

[[Lo...]]

R.E.M. - You are The Evertyhing

 

 

"You Are The Everything"

 

Sometimes I feel like I can't even sing (say, say, the light)

I'm very scared for this world

I'm very scared for me

Eviscerate your memory

Here's a scene

You're in the back seat laying down

The windows wrap around

To sound of the travel and the engine

 

All you hear is time stand still in travel

And feel such peace and absolute

The stillness still that doesn't end

But slowly drifts into sleep

The stars are the greatest thing you've ever seen

And they're there for you

For you alone you are the everything

 

I think about this world a lot and I cry

And I've seen the films and the eyes

But I'm in this kitchen

Everything is beautiful

And she is so beautiful

She is so young and old

I look at her and I see the beauty

Of the light of music

 

The voices talking somewhere in the house

Late spring and you're drifting off to sleep

With your teeth in your mouth

You are here with me

You are here with me

You have been here and you are everything

 

Sometimes I feel like I can't even sing (say, say, the light)

I'm very scared for this world

I'm very scared for me

Eviscerate your memory

Here's a scene

You're in the back seat laying down

The windows wrap around (say, say, the light)

To sound of the travel and the engine

 

All you hear is time stand still in travel

And feel such peace and absolute

The stillness still that doesn't end

But slowly drifts into sleep

The greatest thing you've ever seen

And they're there for you

For you alone you are the everything

Catherine Wheel - Salt

 

 

 

(Oh safe towards yourself)

(She wants you with all your heart)

 

Between me always spinning ride

I slowly roll and seem to fly

The taste of salt and spinning ice

The taste of you it brings me higher

 

In this your shine

It's always time

It's always time

Oh we're only salt

Oh we're only salt

Oh we're only salt

 

It always felt like suicide

It always takes my life aside

To say I might, to say I will

The hardest part the heart is real

Mojave 3 - Breaking The Ice

 

 

Jenny, it's alright

Somebody loves you tonight

Tomorrow we'll make a start

Smoke all them cigarettes

 

You are the star that sits in the sky

The fire that burns when the battle is high

The feeling that yearns when the yearning is all

In his heart, yeah, in his heart, yeah, in his heart

 

I know you wanna get away

I know nothing ever stays the same

Jenny, I've been thinking things over

I know thinking never got me far

 

The bottle gets me further

So come stand a little closer now

We'll try breaking the ice again

We'll try breaking the ice again

 

You were the first one

You were the first to try

And baby, you stole me

And maybe I needed that

 

You are the star that sits in the sky

The fire that burns when the battle is high

The feeling that yearns when the yearning is all

In my heart, yeah, in my heart, yeah, in my heart

 

I know you wanna get away

I know nothing ever stays the same

Jenny, I've been thinking things over

You said thinking never got you far

 

Bottle gets you further

So come stand a little closer now

We'll try breaking the ice again

We'll try breaking the ice again

 

We'll try breaking the ice again

We'll try breaking the ice again

We'll try breaking the ice again

We'll try breaking the ice again

Breaking the ice again

"Lonesome Dreams" - Lord Huron

 

I land on an island coast

Where the only souls I see are ghosts

I run through a wooded isle

And I chase the sunlight mile after mile

And I feel like I know this place

As the tree line breaks in the wide open space

I stare at a bright red sun

Though I search all day

I never find anyone

 

I walk on a winding road

In the deep of the night

Near the edge of the known

I pass by a moonlit lake

And a cold wind blows and my bones start to shake

And I feel I should know this place

As the road winds on in the wide open space

The wind plays a haunting tone

As I make my way through the night all alone

 

I been dreaming again of a lonesome world

Where I'm lost and I've got no friends

Just the rocks and the trees in my lonesome dreams

And a road that don't never end

I been dreaming again of a lonesome world

Where I'm lost and I'm on my own

What am I destined to be

It's a mystery, Baby

Just please don't leave me alone

 

I lie under starlit sky

And the seasons change in the blink of an eye

I watch as the planets turn

And the old stars die and the young stars burn

But I don't really know this place

And it's lonesome here in the wide open space

Can it be as real as it seems

Maybe this time I won't wake from the dream

 

I been dreaming again of a lonesome world

Where I'm lost and I've got no friends

Just the rocks and the trees in my lonesome dreams

And a road that don't never end

I been dreaming again of a lonesome world

Where I'm lost and I'm on my own

What am I destined to be

It's a mystery, Baby

Just please don't leave me alone

"White Dove" - Scorpions

https://youtu.be/sXIwiMYb-gY

 

A place without a name

Under a burning sky

There's no milk and honey here

In the land of God

 

Someone holds a sign

It says we are human too

And while the sun goes down

The world goes by

 

[CHORUS:]

White dove

Fly with the wind

Take our hope under your wings

For the world to know

That hope will not die

Where the children cry

 

Waves, big like a house

They're stranded on a piece of wood

To leave it all behind

To start again

 

But instead of a new life

All they find is a door that's closed

And they keep looking for

A place called hope

 

[CHORUS]

 

Can anyone tell me why

The children of the world

Have to pay the price

 

And now you're telling me

You've seen it all before

I know that's right but still

It breaks my heart

 

Well, the golden lamb we sent

Makes us feel better now

But you know it's just a drop

In a sea of tears

 

White dove

Fly with the wind

Take our hope under your wings

For the world to know

That hope will not die

Where the children cry

"Mystery" - Beth Orton

 

Come and sing a song

Something that belongs here

Come and calm your soul

Mystery is born here

 

Alive, alive, alive, alive

Alive, alive, alive, alive, oh

Alive, oh

 

Come and rest your bones

You look awful tired

Fall soft upon the thought

Mystery is born

 

Alive, alive, alive, alive

Alive, alive, alive, alive, oh

Alive, oh

 

And a good day is nothing that we thought

Finding out brings nothing that we sought

Oh please don’t stand a mood apart

You don’t need to break your heart

 

One day will teach us what you'll never know

 

Alive, alive, alive, alive

Alive, alive, alive, alive, oh

Alive, oh

May God bless and keep you always

May your wishes all come true

May you always do for others

And let others do for you

And climb on every rung

May you stay

Forever young

 

Forever young, forever young

May you stay

Forever young

 

May you grow up to be righteous

May you grow up to be true

May you always know the truth

And see the lights surrounding you

 

May you always be courageous

Stand upright and be strong

May you stay forever young

 

Forever young, forever young

May you stay

Forever young

 

May your hands always be busy

May your feet always be swift

May you have a strong foundation

When the winds of changes shift

 

May your heart always be joyful

May your song always be sung

And may you stay forever young

 

Forever young, forever young

May you stay

Forever young

 

Forever young, forever young

May you stay

Forever young

"Islands" - Mike Oldfield & Bonnie Tyler

 

http://i.huffpost.com/gen/1090264/images/o-PANDAS-facebook.jpg

 

Islands

From the first time we saw

We could wait for this moment

Like rocks on the shore

We can never be closer somehow

For the moment that lasts

Is this moment now

 

When the night's on fire

Will you keep the candlelight burning

Hold on to your heart's desire

When you see one bird

Into the wind another one's turning

And the two can fly much higher 

 

We are islands but never too far

We are Islands

And I need your light tonight

And I need your light tonight 

(x2)

 

Islands

Never been to before

And we climb so high

To where the wild birds soar

There's a new path that

We found just today

I was lost in the forest

And you showed me the way

 

When the night's on fire

Will you keep the candlelight burning

Hold on to your heart's desire

When you see one bird

Into the wind another one's turning

And the two can fly much higher

 

We are islands but never too far

We are Islands

And I need your light tonight

And I need your light tonight

Forever Young - Alphaville

 

 

Forever Young - The Youth Group

 

 

Let's dance in style, let's dance for a while,

Heaven can wait we're only watching the skies.

Hoping for the best, but expecting the worst,

Are you gonna drop the bomb or not?

 

Let us die young or let us live forever

We don't have the power, but we never say never

Sitting in a sandpit, life is a short trip

The music's for the sad man.

 

Can you imagine when this race is won?

Turn our golden the faces into the sun,

Praising our leaders, we're getting in tune

The music's played by the, the madman.

 

Forever young,

I want to be forever young.

Do you really want to live forever?

Forever, and ever

 

Forever young,

I want to be forever young

Do you really want to live forever?

Forever young.

 

Some are like water, some are like the heat

Some are a melody and some are the beat

Sooner or later they all will be gone

Why don't they stay young?

 

It's so hard to get old without a cause

I don't want to perish like a fading horse

Youth's like diamonds in the sun,

And diamonds are forever

 

So many adventures given up today,

So many songs we forgot to play.

So many dreams swinging out of the blue

Oh let it come true.

 

Forever young,

I want to be forever young.

Do you really want to live forever,

Forever, and ever?

 

Forever young,

I want to be forever young.

Do you really want to live forever,

Forever, and ever?

 

Forever young

I want to be forever young

Do you really want to live forever,

Forever young

Suzanne Vega - Marlene on The Wall

 

 

Even if I am in love with you

All this to say, what's it to you?

Observe the blood, the rose tattoo

Of the fingerprints on me from you

 

Other evidence has shown

That you and I are still alone

We skirt around the danger zone

And don't talk about it later

 

Marlene watches from the wall

Her mocking smile says it all

As the records the rise and fall

Of every soldier passing

 

But the only soldier now is me

I'm fighting things I cannot see

I think it's called my destiny

That I am changing

 

Marlene on the wall

 

I walk to your house in the afternoon

By the butcher's shop with the sawdust strewn

"Don't give away the goods too soon"

Is what she might have told me

 

And I tried so hard to resist

When you held me in your handsome fist

And reminded me of the night we kissed

And of why I should be leaving

 

Marlene watches from the wall

Her mocking smile says it all

As the records the rise and fall

Of every man who's been here

 

But the only one here now is me

I'm fighting things I cannot see

I think it's called my destiny

That I am changing

 

Marlene on the wall

I think still we can be young at heart with all these dreadful symptoms. Right now, I feel 30 years older than I really am, so I think the upside of this misery is that I might start feeling younger after all this misery. Spiritually, I feel like a much wiser man. Let's just hope that the mental/cognitive functions and the body start getting back into some sort of equilibrium. Let's remember Dylan's "My Back Pages"

 

"Ah, but I was so much older then, I'm younger than that now"

"Going Nowhere" - Oasis

 

Hate the way that you've taken back

Everything you've given to me

And the way that you'd always say

It's nothing to do with me

 

Different versions of many men

Come before you came

All their questions were similar

The answers just the same

 

I'm gonna get me a motor car

Maybe a Jaguar, maybe a plane

Or a day of fame

I'm gonna be a millionaire

So can you take me there

Wanna be wild cos my life's so tame

 

Here am I

Going nowhere on a train

Here am I

Growing older in the rain

 

(Repeat above)

 

Here am I

Going nowhere on a train

Here am I

Getting lost and lonely

Sad and only

Why sometimes does my life feels so tame

"I Can Fly" - Lego Lepricons

 

I can fly

Watch me now

Lift my feet off the ground

No one can touch me now

Pretty soon I'm with the stars

I need a place to hide

From this battle inside

And liberate all the waterfalls

Basting my eyes

 

I can't rely on my feet on the ground

You can't really understand why I'm growing down

I can't protect myself anymore

It's really that time of year the birds fly so low

It's really that time of year the birds fly so slow

Slow

 

I am gone somewhere

I closed my eyes and smiled

No one can see me now

So close, so far

Far away

 

I can't rely on my feet on the ground

You can't really understand why I'm growing down

I can't protect myself anymore

It's really that time of year the birds fly so low

You can't really understand why I'm growing down

"What Have They Done To The Rain"

 

"The Searchers"

 

Marianne Faithfull

 

Just a little rain falling all around

The grass lifts its head to the heavenly sound

Just a little rain, just a little rain

What have they done to the rain

 

Just a little boy standing in the rain

The gentle rain that falls for years

And the grass is gone

The boy disappears

And rain keeps falling like helpless tears

And what have they done to the rain

 

Just a little breeze out of the sky

The leaves nod their head as the breeze blows by

Just a little breeze with some smoke in its eye

What have they done to the rain

 

Just a little boy standing in the rain

A gentle rain that falls for years

And the grass is gone

The boy disappears

And rain keeps falling like helpless tears

And what have they done to the rain

What have they done to the rain
