Simple Man- Lynyrd Skynyrd

Mama told me when I was young
"Come sit beside me, my only son
And listen closely to what I say
And if you do this it will help you some sunny day"
"Oh, take your time, don't live too fast
Troubles will come and they will pass
Go find a woman and you'll find love
And don't forget, son, there is someone up above"

Chorus:
"And be a simple kind of man
Oh, be something you love and understand
Baby be a simple kind of man
Oh, won't you do this for me, son, if you can"

"Forget your lust for the rich man's gold
All that you need is in your soul
And you can do this, oh baby, if you try
All that I want for you, my son, is to be satisfied"

Chorus

Oh yes, I will
"Boy, don't you worry, you'll find yourself
Follow your heart and nothing else
And you can do this, oh baby, if you try
All that I want for you, my son, is to be satisfied"

Chorus

Baby, be a simple, really simple man
Oh, be something you love and understand

[Sigh]

Oh, I see your face as if in a dream.
Eyes where the shadows drown.
Frozen in a frown.
And I feel like paper burning free.
The wind is shattering me.
I'm the sky, I'm the sea.

Walk for now.
Endless days alive somehow.

Staring, dreaming, cold rain, skin steaming.
Just some fog in my eyes.
Tides in my blood follow the pale moon
drawing my soul to the skies.

Standing here, where a dream once had a home.
Emptiness now calls,
where hope crumbled with the walls.
And I feel like dust, lighter than air.
Winged by the smallest prayer.
Destination anywhere.

Walk for now.
Endless days alive somehow.
Keeping pace.

Staring, dreaming, cold rain, skin steaming.
Just some fog in my eyes.
Tides in my blood follow the pale moon
drawing my soul to the skies.

Stars, they're skywide, forever burn.
Scars, you carve deep, but never learn.

Oh, I see your face as if in a dream.
Eyes where the shadows drown.
Frozen in a frown.

Tarot ~ Tides

"Something has to change
Undeniable dilemma
Boredom's not a burden
Anyone should bear

Constant over stimulation numbs me
But I would not want you any other way

It's not enough
I need more
Nothing seems to satisfy
I don't want it
I just need it
To breathe, to feel, to know I'm alive

Finger deep within the borderline
Show me that you love me and that we belong together
Relax, turn around and take my hand

I can help you change
Tired moments into pleasure
Say the word and we'll be
Well upon our way

Blend and balance
Pain and comfort
Deep within you
'til you will not want me any other way

It's not enough
I need more
Nothing seems to satisfy
I don't want it
I just need it
To breathe, to feel, to know I'm alive

Knuckle deep inside the borderline
This may hurt a little but it's something you'll get used to
Relax, slip away

Something kinda sad about
the way that things have come to be
Desensitized to everything
What became of subtlety?

How can it mean anything to me
If I really don't feel anything at all?

I'll keep digging 'til
I feel something

Elbow deep inside the borderline
Show me that you love me and that we belong together
Shoulder deep within the borderline
Relax, turn around and take my hand" -Stinkfist, by Tool

im a thousand miles away
but girl tonight you look so pretty

a thousand miles seems pretty far

our friends would all make fun of us
and we'll just laugh along because we know
that none of them have felt this way

the world will never ever be the same

One of the most beautiful love songs.

"The girl I used to love
Lives in this yellow house.
Yesterday she passed me by,
She doesn't want to know me now." -The Real Me by The Who

[annaa]

A particular part of the song I like..
Amy Winehouse - Tears dry on their own

I can't play myself again
I should just be my own best friend
Not fuck myself in the head with stupid men

He walks away
The sun goes down
He takes the day, but I'm grown
And in your wake, in this blue shade
My tears dry on their own

[urbanspaceman]

There are faces that we should not know
There are places we’re not meant to go
If you try to find me you will never win
For behind each layer lies another skin
I’d love to let you near me, if you find a way in

Duke Special - No Cover Up

[airburst]

"Hey you! Wake up!
Open your swollen eyes
Erosion invades your mind
A cancer that grows over time

Hey you! Rise up!
Rise to fight, eliminate
Burn your fuse to detonate
The human machines of hate

All these years they've tried to break you
To your knees
Anger scours right through your veins
Now it's time to put an end
To all the lies
Now it's time to take control
Of your life

Wake up! Rise up!
Open minds will dominate
Burn your fuse to detonate
The human machines of hate

All these years they've tried to break you
To your knees
Anger scours right through your veins
Now it's time to put an end
To all the lies
Now it's time to take control
Of your life
Life
Life
Life

Hypocrisy
You can't believe
Machines of hate
A disease that infiltrates

Persist for resistance
Resist their insolence
You are a dissident
Burn away conformity

Persist for resistance
Resist their insolence
You are a dissident
Burn away conformity

All these years they've tried to break you
To your knees
Anger scours right through your veins
Now it's time to put an end
To all the lies
Now it's time to take control
Of your life

They have tried to break you
They have tried to break you
They have tried to break you
They have tried to break you" -Self Bias Resistor, by Fear Factory

[airburst]

"So understand
Don't waste your time always searching for those wasted years,
Face up...make your stand,
And realise you're living in the golden years.

Too much time on my hands, I got you on my mind,
Can't ease this pain, so easily,
When you can't find the words to say, it's hard to make it through another day,
And it makes me wanna cry, and throw my hands up to the sky." -Wasted Years by Iron Maiden

Pieces of Eight - Styx (from self titled album 1978)

(My favourite Styx song overall)

It's 6 o'clock good morning sounds are everywhere
The warmth of spring a gentle breeze blows through my hair
I hurry through my life never stopping to see
How beautiful it was meant to be
I'm just a prisoner in a King's disguise
Broken dreams as we shuffle by

It's 6 o'clock it's quitting time I'm done for the day
Out on the streets I overheard a lady say
We now have everything - or so people say,
But now this emptiness haunts me everyday
We seek the lion's share - never knowing why
Come alive - spread your wings and fly

Pieces of eight
The search for the money tree
Don't cast your freedoms into gold
Pieces of eight
Can't buy you everything
Don't let it turn your heart to stone

(fill - in)

Pieces of eight
The search for the money tree
Don't cast your freedoms in for gold
Pieces of eight
Treasures filled with emptiness
Don't let it turn your heart to stone

[Sweet Pea]

What kind of love have you got?
You should be home but you're not.
A room full of noise and dangerous boys
still make you thirsty and hot.
I heard about you and that man.
There's just one thing I don't understand.
You say he's a liar and he put out your fire,
how come you still got his gun in your hand?
Victim of love, I see a broken heart.
You got your stories to tell.
Victim of love, it's such an easy part
and you know how to play it so well.
Some people never come clean,
I think you know what I mean, oh.
You're walkin' the wire, pain and desire,
lookin' for love in between.
Tell me your secrets, I'll tell you mine.
This ain't no time to be cool.
And tell all your girlfriends,
your "been around the world" friends
that talk is for losers and fools.
Victim of love, I see a broken heart.
I could be wrong but I'm not, no, I'm not.
Victim of love, we're not so far apart.

from 'victim of love' by the eagles

[Bodhi]

I'd like to watch
I'd like to read
I'd like a part
I'd like the lead

But, I've got nothing to say
I've got nothing to say
I've got nothing to say
I've got nothing to say

I've got nothing to give
Got no reason to live
But I'll kill to survive
I've got nothing to hide
Wish I wasn't so shy

-The Strokes, Ask Me Anything

[airburst]

"Overcome by your
Moving temple
Overcome by this
Holiest of altars

So pure
So rare
To witness such an earthly goddess
That Ive lost my self control
...
Holiest of altars

Id sell
My soul
My self-esteem a dollar at a time

One chance
One kiss
One taste of you my magdalena

I bear witness
To this place, this prayer, so long forgotten
So pure
So rare
To witness such an earthly goddess

That Id sell
My soul
My self-esteem a dollar at a time
For one chance
One kiss
One taste of you my black madonna

Id sell
My soul
My self-esteem a dollar at a time

One taste
One taste
One taste of you my magdalena" -Magdalena, by A Perfect Circle

[airburst]

"I hold on so nervously
To me and my drink
I wish it was cooling me
But so far, has not been good
It’s been shitty
And I feel awkward, as I should
This club has got to be
The most pretentious thing
Since I thought you and me
Well I am imagining
A dark lit place
Or your place or my place

Well I’m not paralyzed
But, I seem to be struck by you
I want to make you move
Because you’re standing still
If your body matches
What your eyes can do
You’ll probably move right through
Me on my way to you

I hold out for one more drink
Before I think
I’m looking too desperately
But so far has not been fun
I should just stay home
If one thing really means one
This club will hopefully
Be closed in three weeks
That would be cool with me
Well I’m still imagining
A dark lit place
Or your place or my place

I’m not paralyzed
But, I seem to be struck by you
I want to make you move
Because you’re standing still
If your body matches
What your eyes can do
You’ll probably move right through
Me on my way to you" -Paralyzer by Finger Eleven

"23" - Jimmy Eat World


Amazing still it seems
I'll be 23
I won't always love what I'll never have
I won't always live in my regrets

You'll sit alone forever
If you wait for the right time
What are you hoping for?
I'm here I'm now I'm ready
Holding on tight
Don't give away the end
The one thing that stays mine
