    Across the Universe - Fiona Apple's version

    Sounds of laughter, shades of earth are ringing
    Through my open ears inciting and inviting me.
    Limitless, undying love, which shines around me like a million suns,
    And calls me on and on across the universe.
    Jai Guru Deva Om
    Nothing's gonna change my world,

    (Fiona Apple - originally the Beatles, but I like Fiona's version better)

    I look at you all see the love there that's sleeping
    While my guitar gently weeps
    I look at the floor and I see it needs sweeping
    Still my guitar gently weeps
    I don't know why nobody told you how to unfold your love
    I don't know how someone controlled you
    They bought and sold you.
    I look at the world and I notice it's turning
    While my guitar gently weeps
    With every mistake we must surely be learning
    Still my guitar gently weeps
    I don't know how you were diverted
    You were perverted too
    I don't know how you were inverted
    No one alerted you.
    I look at you all see the love there that's sleeping
    While my guitar gently weeps
    Look at you all...
    Still my guitar gently weeps.

    "Lately it occurs to me... what a long strange trip it's been"
    - Robert Hunter (Grateful Dead)

    "How many friends have I really got?
    You can count 'em on one hand
    How many friends have I really got?
    How many friends have I really got?
    That love me, that want me, that'll take me as I am?"

    "Hearts" Yes

    Hearing - Talking - Yes I - Love you
    Set your heart sail on the river
    Look around you as you drift downstream Hearing
    Pouring souls into the ocean Talking
    Take account of all you've seen Love you
    One people - Together
    Freedom for today
    So easy the future
    So see the children's way
    Love me
    Teach me
    Know me
    One people - Together
    Freedom for today
    Tomorrow forever
    So see the people's way
    Many moons cascade one river
    They light from side to side
    As we cross in close proximity
    Like rivers our hearts entwine
    How we talk - How we teach our children
    How we move - We direct our eyes
    All the senses tuned discovery
    As and as and when our hearts decide
    Be ready now - Be ye circle
    Be the central force ye life
    As the game extends the cycle
    Be ready to move
    One heart's for love Hearts
    One's for giving Sailing down the river
    Two hearts are better Hearts
    Than one Throwing out a line
    I hearing it Hearts
    I living it
    I believe in it Sharing out your fortunes
    Two hearts are better Hearts
    Than one In and out of time
    Hearing - Talking - Yes I - Love you
    Solo
    One heart's for love Hearts
    One's for giving Sailing down the river
    Two hearts are better Hearts
    Than one Throwing out a line
    I hearing it Hearts
    I living it
    I believe in it Sharing out your fortunes
    I loving it
    Two hearts are better Hearts
    Than one In and out of time
    Who would believe you - Wise men do
    Days that we knew it clear with you
    You sing the answers question time
    Now it you need me let our hearts entwine
    Let our hearts entwine
    Hearts - Sailing down the river
    Hearts - Throwing out a line
    I hearing it - I living it - I believe in it - I loving it
    Hearts
    Two hearts will always be
    In and out of time
    Solo
    One heart's for love Hearts
    One's for giving Sailing down the river
    Two hearts are better Hearts
    Than one Throwing out a line
    I hearing it Hearts
    I living it
    I believe in it Sharing out your fortunes
    I loving it
    Two hearts are better Hearts
    Than one In and out of time
    As we flow down life's rivers
    I see the star glow - One by one
    All angels of the magic constellation
    Be singing us now

    Kandle - Winter

    I like all the lyrics to this one

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5_GED2JgVV0

    In my bones I feel a chill more than ever before
    Winters followed me back home, it's waiting at my door

    They say any day now it will come the snow will begin to fall
    I will hide here and wait for nature.. to come down and erase it all

    I hid the mess in the woods where no one should ever find
    They'll be searching for the answer that's only in my mind

    I saw your shadow moving faster, closer to my life
    But you deserved it so don't try to.. haunt me every day and night

    When I saw you hurting me in a prophecy
    It had to come down to me or you so
    Honestly.. wudya think I'd do

    I feel the guilt in my soul more than ever before
    My conscience followed me back home it's waiting at my door

    I grew tired of playing the victim fed up with all the hurt
    So how come when I switch roles.... I can't find a part that works

    When I saw you hurting me in a prophecy
    It had to come down to me or you so
    Honestly.. wudya think I'd do

    The snow has melted and turned to ice til everything is clear
    Try to keep hiding but I keep sliding crashing into fears

    People like you get what they want or so I always thought
    But I tried it and I despise it... waiting til the day I'm cought

    It had to come down to me or you so
    Honestly.. wudya think I'd do

    It's true
    The way I feel
    Was promised by your face
    The sound of your voice
    Painted on my memories
    Even if you're not with me
    I'm with you

    Beat Farmers: Baby's Liquored Up Lyrics


    Baby's liquored up and she's talkin' to my friends
    About this, that and nothin' then she starts it all again
    Head like a powder keg with hair that's on fire
    She's lookin' for a sucker, Lord she found another buyer

    Ape-breath, sudden death ~ sittin' on the bar
    Grabbin' every butt she sees no matter who you are
    yellin' at the cops - now she's goin' too far
    She just blew her lunch in my new car!

    She's allllllllllll liquored up
    My baby's all liquored up
    She's allllllllllll liquored up
    Lord how'd she get so liquored up
    She's allllllllllll liquored up


    She smiles like a reptile and her lips are razor thin
    Her legs are made of jello but her voice can rip your skin
    To hide her potty mouth she hikes her skirt above her head
    The whole Seventh Fleet is checkin' out her spread

    Foul gas, shot glass stuck to her snout
    In everybody's business don't care what it's about
    Rum, gin, anything, now it's Guinness Stout
    The whole club's prayin' that she finally passes out


    She's allllllllllll liquored up
    My baby's so liquored up
    She's allllllllllll liquored up
    She said she'd be the designated driver!
    She's allllllllllll liquored up

    Foul gas, shot glass stuck to her snout
    In everybody's business don't care what it's about
    Rum, gin, anything, now it's Guinness Stout
    The whole club's prayin' that she finally passes out

    She's allllllllllll liquored up
    My baby's all liquored up
    She's allllllllllll liquored up
    and normally a very nice girl, but...
    She's allllllllllll liquored up
    How-how-how-how-how-how liquored up
    She's allllllllllll liquored up
    Wuh, wuh, wuh-I'm outta here!
    She's allllllllllll liquored up

    And everything I can remember
    As *kitten* up
    As it all may seem to be
    I know it's me
    I cannot blame this on my father
    He did the best he could for me

    It's been awhile
    Since I couldn't
    Hold my head up high
    And it's been awhile
    Since I said, "I'm sorry"
    -Stain'd

    From day one I talked about getting out
    But not forgetting about how my worst fears are letting out
    He said why put a new address
    On the same old loneliness
    When breathing just passes the time
    Until we all just get old and die
    Now talking's just a waste of breath and living's just a waste of death
    And why put a new address on the same old loneliness
    And this is you and me
    And me and you until we've got nothing left
    -Fall Out Boy

    There was a boy
    A very strange enchanted boy
    They say he wandered very far, very far
    Over land and sea
    A little shy and sad of eye
    But very wise was he
    And then one day
    A magic day he passed my way
    And while we spoke of many things
    Fools and kings
    This he said to me
    The greatest thing you'll ever learn
    Is just to love and be loved in return
    The greatest thing you'll ever learn
    Is just to love and be loved in return

    "It's inevitable everything that's good comes to an end
    It's impossible to know if after this we could still be friends, yeah
    I know you're saying you don't want to hurt me
    And maybe you should show a little mercy
    The way you look I know you didn't come to apologize

    Hey, hey, hey
    Oh, why you wearing that to walk out of my life
    Hey, hey, hey
    Oh, even though it's over you should stay tonight
    Hey, hey, hey
    If tomorrow you won't be mine
    Won't you give it to me one last time
    Oh, baby let me love you goodbye"

    I give her my heart but she wanted my soul
    But don't think twice, it's all right

    "Waste My Time" by Saint Asonia

    Hold onto me
    Like we're the only ones that see
    The sky above us falling down
    And breathe in my ear
    Like we're the only ones that hear
    The mountains crashing down

    I had wasted most of my life
    Playing games that I knew I'd lose
    Let me sing to you, just sit here don't move
    I just wanna waste some time with you

    So take my hand
    I don't understand
    How they kept us apart for so long
    And smile so I can see
    That it's really you in front of me
    'Cause that's still just so hard to believe

    I have wasted most of my life
    Playing games that I knew I'd lose
    Let me sing to you
    Just sit here don't move
    I just wanna waste some time with you

    Forcing back the tears
    Over all the years
    Boarding up the door
    And throwing my hope to the floor
    I could not forget
    Now it all makes sense
    That you're here with me
    And I never never want to leave

    I would've wasted most of my life
    Never even knowing you
    Now you sing to me and I still don't believe
    That you wanna waste some time with me

    Let me sing to you, just sit here don't move
    I just wanna waste some time with you
    And now you sing to me and I still don't believe
    That you wanna waste your time with me

    Make you feel my love - as covered by Adele

    When the rain is blowing in your face
    And the whole world is on your case
    I could offer you a warm embrace,
    To make you feel my love.

    When the evening shadows and the stars appear,
    And there is no one there to dry your tears,
    I could hold you for a million years
    To make you feel my love.

    I know you haven't made your mind up yet
    But I would never do you wrong.
    I've known it from the moment that we met
    No doubt in my mind where you belong.

    I'd go hungry, I'd go black and blue.
    I'd go crawling down the avenue.
    No there's nothing that I wouldn't do
    To make you feel my love.

    The storms are raging on the rolling sea,
    And on the highway of regret.
    The winds of change are blowing wild and free,
    You ain't seen nothing like me yet.

    [Outro]
    I could make you happy, make your dreams come true.
    Nothing that I wouldn't do
    Go to the ends of the earth for you,
    To make you feel my love
    To make you feel my love.

    Fully Alive

    Flyleaf

    Telling Layla's story spoken
    'Bout how all her bones are broken
    Hammers fall on all the pieces
    Two months in the cover creases

    Here she stands today
    In her brilliant shining way

    Fully alive
    More than most, ready to smile, and love life
    Fully alive and she knows
    How to believe in futures

    All my complaints shrink to nothing
    I'm ashamed of all my somethings
    She's glad for one day of comfort
    Only because she has suffered

    Here she stands today
    In her brilliant shining way

    Fully alive
    More than most, ready to smile, and love life
    Fully alive and she knows
    How to believe in futures

    Fully alive
    More than most, ready to smile, and love life
    Fully alive and she knows
    How to believe in futures

    Fully alive
    More than most, ready to smile, and love life
    Fully alive and she knows
    How to believe in futures

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

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