Bitter Tears — INXS

 

 

Live on Arsenio Hall!:

 

In the midst

Of my endless search

The best in life

Becomes clear

 

The rest just begins

To fade by itself

That's a trick I learned

Though it took so long

Bitter tears

Taste so sweet

I'm seeing my way

For the first time in years

 

When the love around

Begins to suffer

And you can't find love

In one another

 

Push away those bitter tears

Bitter tears

 

And I thought I was doing no wrong

 

In the hour

Of your need

Lips are trembling

Cuz you're gonna be free

 

Realize what we're doing here

The time has arrived to kill your fears

 

Bitter tears

Taste so sweet

I'm seeing my way

For the first time in years

 

When the love around

Begins to suffer

And you can't find the love

In one another

 

Push away those bitter tears

Bitter tears

 

That's what they call doing no wrong

"This River" - JJ Grey & Mofro

 

Stare at a picture

But there's nothing for it

I pull on the bottle

And watch this river roll on by

 

Trying to find purpose

Trying to see meaning

Trying to make sense of the nonsense

That I've called my life

 

Cause only this river can bear me to safety

Only this river can bear me away

 

See them all work and play

There on the other bank

Warm in their houses

While I face my cold alone

 

Guess I've been drinking away

To keep the wolves of my mind at bay

But if you run, you die

And I'm just too tired to care

 

Cause only this river can bear me to safety

Only this river can bear me away

 

I feel her flowing

Flowing right through me

I hear her whispers

Drowning my words

 

Cause only this river, only this river, only this river

Can save me from myself

 

Where did my soul go

Where did my spirit hide

Why won't they rescue me

From the pain in my mind

 

Cause only this river in all of her glory

Only this river can bear me away

 

Only this river

Only this river

Only this river

"No One Listening" - Blue October

 

Dead or cold

Nothing as it seems

Fly so far

But someone clipped the wings

 

I could beat my throat

It only turned to screams

When was the point that God knew

There was no one listening

 

There was no one listening

Was no one listening

 

In a sweaty daze

I close my eyes and sneak off to the sea

I'm drinking blood rain skies

And dream of family

 

And I ask the world, “Don’t turn”

It only turns to screams

When was the point that God knew

There was no one listening

 

There was no one listening

Was no one listening

 

:'(

Good band :) Hope you're all doing better.

 

Snowy :)

"Dead & Born & Grown " - The Staves

 

Colors fade away

And things that were, aren't here today

But time, it doesn't matter anymore

I'll meet you where we were before

 

And I'll stay the same

And stand here on my own

Till everything is dead and born and grown

 

Just go at your own pace

As you slip and tumble down from grace

We're safe in one another's company

I need you just as much as you need me

:hug:

 

But I'll stay the same

And stand here on my own

Till everything is dead and born and grown

 

Pieces set to fall

I might hear it all

As a little child may learn

To sit or stand or wait his turn

The things you know will slowly slip away

All we have is here and now today

 

And I'll stay the same

And stand here on my own

Till everything is dead and born and grown

Till everything is dead and born and grown

 

Pieces set to fall

I might hear it all

Pieces set in stone

Dead and born and grown

"Fly to the Rainbow" - Scorpions

 

Life is empty

Can't remember any time before

On a plain lit cold December

See it evermore

 

Gliding through this life

And another is a child

And we're doing games

And losing things

Always playing gigs

 

Somewhere in the sky

Were the moon, the stars shine bright

Where the sun is shining in the night

I am in disgrace

Yet I see your smiling face

And I hope you let me share your place

 

I don't live today

 

Rain in the sky

Make the world fly into time

Back beyond time

Sun in the sky

Make the world fly into time

Back beyond time

(x3)

 

Well I lived in magic solitude

Of cloudy-looking mountains

A lake made out of crystal raindrops

Roaming through space

Two thousand years ago

I've seen the giant city of Atlantis

Sinking into eternal wave of darkness

 

Somewhere in the blue distance

Are those long-forgotten trees of yore

A broken violin floating alone in December

Darkness everywhere and nothing more

 

Symbol, strange melancholy

Painting torrid colors on a sky of green

Candle, breathing one night only

Far away, in chillness, bleak, unseen

 

Drifting galley, ghost-like shadow

Set sail to catch and kill the time

Echoes wandering down an endless meadow

Search for a thing

Sublime

 

:balloon:

Soul to Squeeze

 

I've got a bad disease

But from my brain is where I bleed.

Insanity it seems

Has got me by my soul to squeeze.

Well all the love from thee

With all the dying trees I scream.

The angels in my dreams (yeah)

Have turned to demons of greed that's mean

 

Where I go I just don't know

I got to got to gotta take it slow.

When I find my piece of mind

I'm gonna give you some of my good time.

 

Today love smiled on me.

It took away my pain say please

All that you had to free

You gotta let it be oh yeah.

 

Oh, so polite indeed

Well I got everything I need.

Oh make my days a breeze

And take away my self destruction.

 

It's bitter baby,

And it's very sweet.

I'm on a rollercoaster,

but I'm on my feet

"Help Me To Heal"

 

Olivia Newton-John

 

Amy Sky

 

If I reach out my hand

Will you hold me

Will you help me to stand if I fall

If I can't say my name

Will you know me

Oh will I still be me

If I lose it at all

 

[CHORUS:]

Help me to heal

Help me to feel

All I know is what I see

So won't you help me to believe

Help me to heal

 

If I'm not all I was

Will you love me

I'm afraid if I change you might go

As I face the unknown

Are you with me

Cause you know I can't do this alone

 

[CHORUS]

 

I know I'll find the strength to fight

If I can trust I'm gonna be alright

So walk me through my darkest fears tonight

 

Help me to heal

Help me to feel

All I know is what I see

So won't you help me to believe

Help me to heal

Help me to heal

"Let Me Hold You" - Josh Krajcik

 

http://i.imgur.com/57CGlbi.png?1

 

When the dark clouds come your way

When your demons can't be tamed

When your last straws start to break

And you feel your heart can't take anymore

 

When your second chance is gone

When you're barely hanging on

When you're tired of being strong

And you don't know where to run anymore

 

I wanna take away the hurts

But I just don't have the words

Let me hold you

Let me hold you tight

Let me hold you

Just let me hold you tonight

 

When the shadow's always there

When you can't come up for air

When tomorrow seems to lead nowhere

And there's no answer to your prayer anymore

 

I wanna take away the hurts

But I just don't have the words

Let me hold you

Let me hold you tight

Let me hold you

Just let me hold you tonight

 

Let me hold you

Let me hold you

Let me hold you tight

Let me hold you

It's all that I can do tonight

" Shallow"

Carys Selvey

 

 

I walk around every day

With my head above the darkness

The storm below

I just can't face it

So I don't

 

You say I don't care at all

But if you only knew

At night all the sleep I lose

Over what I can't change

 

You don't understand that this world is too cold

And my skins not thick

It's too thin

In an ocean that's as big as this

It's hard to stay afloat, not sink

I think I might just sink

 

So I need to think shallow thoughts

So that I don't fall too deep

In water I can't tame

'Cos that's the only way I know

How to stay breathing

And keep myself from feeling

Every single blow that comes my way

I just stay in  the shallow

 

 

The world can be a scary place

And it can tear you up if you let it

So I had to learn to forget it the hard way

 

Oh you don't understand that this world is too cold

And my skin's not thick

It's too thin

In an ocean that's as big as this

It's hard to stay afloat, not sink

I think I might just sink

 

So I need to think shallow thoughts

So that I don't  fall too deep

In water I can't tame

'Cos that's the only way I know

How to stay breathing

And keep myself from feeling

Every single blow that comes my way

I just stay in the shallow

 

Need to think shallow thoughts

So that I don't fall too deep

In water I can't tame

'Cos that's the only way I know

How to keep breathing

And keep myself from feeling

Every single blow that comes my way

I just stay in the shallow

" Tightrope Walking"

Panic Room

 

 

" Tightrope Walking"

 

Empty in the dark

Reaching out for something to light a spark

It's just an empty room

Nothing here to keep you

But you can't move

 

Tripping through the space

Forgotten how quiet and another place

You're finding what you need

Wishing you could stay for a week

 

But the house is full tonight

The show is nearly ready to dim the lights

They're calling you back down

It's time to pull this act around

 

Stepping on the wire

Trying to get the tension just right

Edging for the light

You've got to get this perfect for you tonight

 

No one here can see

The mental preparation that we both need

And no one here must know

What we decided before the show

 

High above the crowd

We clamor with each footstep

I want to make you proud

Balancing the distance I don't know how

 

Don't you feel alone performing to strangers

In your own home

What if we should fall

Aren't you scared of feeling small

 

Do they know that we

Are tightrope walkers

Barely holding on

Fearing a fall from all that grace

 

And we're scared to move forward

Lest we tumble to the ground

And never wake but we can't

Stay here on the wire

 

Do thy know that we

Are tightrope walkers

Barely hanging on

Fearing a fall from all that grace

 

And if you fall you know

I'll catch you in my arms you are safe

I'll still protect you for always

I'll still protect you for always

" Someone To Color With"

Trixie Whitley

 

 

" Someone To Color With"

 

Thought I knew, bout the things I’d seen

Won’t recognize it

It ain’t always what it seems..

Psychotic players..

Stand for the way…

Looking down to no man…

Got it by mainly shame…

Some time, some place I’ll find a friend

Someone said…

Some time, some place I’ll find a friend

Someone said..

Someone to color with…

Ooow

Setting the shadow, of a wholesome fire

My Mother’s love always pure and infinite

Carried with a trail of pain

Dug so deeply, till the debt came to me…

Wearing out the passenger seat..

Vehicle with no steel…

Some time, some place I’ll find a friend

Someone said…

Some time, some place I’ll find a friend

Someone said..

Some time, some place I’ll find a friend

Someone said…

Some time, some place I’ll find a friend

Someone said..

Someone to color with

Someone said

Someone to color with

Mmmmmm

Someone to color with

 

❤️

" River"

Emeli Sande

 

 

" River"

 

If you’re looking for the big adventure

And gold is all that’s on your mind

If all you wants someone to take your picture

Then I won’t waste your time

 

See maybe I’m too quiet for you

You’ve probably never noticed me

But if you’re too big to follow rivers

How you ever gonna find the sea?

 

 

So follow me, I’ll be your river, river

I’ll do the running for you

Follow me, I’ll be your river, river

I’ll move the mountains for you

Follow me, I’ll be your river, river

I’m here to keep you floating

Follow me, I’ll be your river, river

River, river

 

If all you want are answers to your questions

And you can’t seem to find no love for free

If you’re looking for the right direction, then darling look for me

See I can make the load much lighter, I just need you to confide in me

But if you’re too proud to follow rivers, how you ever gonna find the sea?

 

 

 

Wherever you’re standing, I will be by your side

Through the good, through the bad, I’ll never be hard to find

Said wherever you’re standing I will be by your side

Through the good, through the bad, I’ll never be hard to find

 

 

Wherever you’re standing, I will be by your side

Through the good, through the bad, I’ll never be hard to find

 

 

❤️❤️❤️

Scowling and whimpering at the back of the bus.  :'(

Was thinking, it's been some time since we've heard from any of our alumni, hasn't it?

No doubt they're all out there joyfully living their lives again

Couldn't be happier for them! 

(Are you snorting yet ... hmmm ...?)

Heeere it comes ...

And now back to our regular programming ...

Saga MBB, that was just way too much fun

Waaayyy too much laughting for such a significant occasion!  :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: 

And to think the baiting went right over my head, OMFG, hilarious, woman. 

 

Well, maybe next year, ahem, when we celebrate our success stories  ::):-\

We'll have to dig up and dust off the Jumpers thread. 

They really were such a great bunch of people, weren't they?

Maybe we'll even invite them along.

Thanks again for making my day so special, MBB

You really thought I'd be sulking and all woe is me all day, didn't you now?

Instead, I was celebrating and as happy as happy can be ... all day long!

Happy, Happy **#@@** Three Years to me!  :yippee:

"We, The Drowned" -  Lisa Hannigan

 

We, the drowned

Hold our hollow-hearted ground

Till we swallow ourselves down again

Again

 

We, the ashes

We spend our days like matches

And we burned our ships

As black as the end, the end

The end, the end

 

We know not the fire in which we burn

But we sing and we sing

And the flames grow higher

We read not the pages which we turn

But we sing and we sing

And we sing and we sing

 

Oh, we, the wrong

We, the strong and the long gone

Were before and all along

Like this, like this

Like this, like this

 

We, the drowned

The lost and found out

We are all finished

"Walk a Mile in My Shoes"

 

Joe South

 

Elvis Presley

 

If I could be you and you could be me

For just one hour

If we could find a way

To get inside each other's mind

 

If you could see you through my eyes

Instead of your ego

I believe you'd be surprised

To see that you've been blind

 

[CHORUS:]

Walk a mile in my shoes

Walk a mile in my shoes

And before you abuse, criticize and accuse

Walk a mile in my shoes

 

Well, your whole world you see around you

Is just a reflection

And the law of common

Says you're gonna reap just what you sow

 

So unless you've lived a life

Of total perfection

You'd better be careful of every stone

That you should throw

 

And yet we spend the day

Throwing stones at one another

Cause I don't think or wear my hair

The same way as you do

 

Well, I may be common people

But I'm your brother

And when you strike out and try to hurt me

It's a-hurting you

 

[CHORUS]

 

And there are people on reservations

And out in the ghettos

And brother, there

But for the grace of God go you and I

 

And if I only had the wings of little angels

Don't you know I'd fly

To the top of the mountain

And then I'd cry

 

Walk a mile in my shoes

Walk a mile in my shoes

And before you abuse, criticize and accuse

Walk a mile in my shoes

(x3)
