Bullet the Blue Sky~


In the howling wind comes a stinging rain


See it driving nails into souls on the tree of pain


>From the firefly, a red orange glow


See the face of fear running scared in the valley below


Bullet the blue sky


Bullet the blue


In the locust wind comes a rattle and hum


Jacob wrestled the angel and the angel was overcome


Plant a demon seed, you raise a flower of fire


See them burning crosses, see the flames, higher and higher


Bullet the blue sky


Bullet the blue


Suit and tie comes up to me


His face red


Like a rose on a thorn bush


Like all the colours of a royal flush


And he's peeling off those dollar bills


Slapping them down, one hundred, two hundred,


And I can see the fighter planes


And I can see the fighter planes


Across the mud huts as the children sleep


Through the alleys of a quit city street


Up the staircase to the first floor


We turn the key and slowly unlock the door


A man breathes deep into a saxophone


Through the walls we hear the city groan


Outside is America


Outside is America

Frank Zappa~


Camarillo Brillo~


She had that Camarillo brillo


Flamin' out along her head,


I mean her Mendocino bean-o


By where some bugs had made it red


She ruled the Toads of the Short Forest


And every newt in Idaho


And every cricket who had chorused


By the bush in Buffalo


She said she was a Magic Mama


And she could throw a mean Tarot


And carried on without a comma


That she was someone I should know


She had a snake for a pet


And an Amulet


And she was breeding a dwarf


But she wasn't done yet


She had gray-green skin


A doll with a pin


I told her she was awright


But I couldn't come in


And so she wandered through the door-way


Just like a shadow from the tomb


She said her stereo was four-way


An' I'd just love it in her room


Well, I was born to have adventure


So I just followed up the steps


Right past her fuming incense stencher


To where she hung her castanets


She stripped away her rancid poncho


An' laid out naked by the door


We did it till we were un-concho


An' it was useless any more


She had a snake for a pet


And an amulet


And she was breeding a dwarf


But she wasn't done yet


She had gray-green skin


A doll with a pin


I told her she was awright


But I couldn't come in


And so she wandered through the door-way


Just like a shadow from the tomb


She said her stereo was four-way


An' I'd just love it in her room


Well, I was born to have adventure


So I just followed up the steps


Right past her fuming incense stencher


To where she hung her castanets


She said she was a Magic Mama


And she could throw a mean Tarot


And carried on without a comma


That she was someone I should know

Comfortably Numb~


Hello hello helo...


Is there anybody in there?


Just nod if you can hear me.


Is there anyone home?


Come on, now.


I hear you're feeling down.


Well I can ease your pain,


Get you on your feet again.


Relax relax relax...


I need some information first.


Just the basic facts:


Can you show me where it hurts?


There is no pain, you are receding.


A distant ship's smoke on the horizon.


You are only coming through in waves.


Your lips move but I can't hear what you're sayin'.


When I was a child I had a fever.


My hands felt just like two balloons.


Now I got that feeling once again.


I can't explain, you would not understand.


This is not how I am.


I have become comfortably numb.


Ok ok ok...


Just a little pinprick. <ping>


There'll be no more --Aaaaaahhhhh!


But you may feel a little sick.


Can you stand up?


I do believe it's working. Good.


That'll keep you going for the show.


Come on it's time to go.


There is no pain, you are receding.


A distant ship's smoke on the horizon.


You are only coming through in waves.


Your lips move but I can't hear what you're sayin'.


When I was a child I caught a fleeting glimpse,


Out of the corner of my eye.


I turned to look but it was gone.


I cannot put my finger on it now.


The child is grown, the dream is gone.


I have become comfortably numb.

Empire~


Last night the word came down, ten dead in Chinatown.


Innocent, their only crime was


Being in the wrong place at the wrong time


Too bad, people say


What's wrong with the kids today


Tell you right now they've got nothing to lose


They're building EMPIRE!


Johnny used to work after school


At the cinema show.


Gotta hustle if he wants an education


He's got a long way to go.


Now he's out on the street all day


Selling Crack to the people who pay.


Got an AK-47 for his best friend


Business the American way.


Eastside meets Westside downtown.


No time, the walls fall down


Can't you feel it coming? EMPIRE!


Can't you hear it calling?


Black man, trapped again.


Hold his chain in his hand.


Brother killing brother for the profit of another,


Game point, nobody wins.


Decline, right on time.


What happened to the dream sublime?


Tear it all down, we'll put it up again.


Another EMPIRE?


Eastside meets Westside downtown.


No time, no line, the walls fall down.


Can't you feel it coming? EMPIRE!


Can't you hear it coming EMPIRE!


Can't someone here stop it...?

Imagine~


Imagine there's no heaven


It's easy if you try


No hell below us


Above us only sky


Imagine all the people


Living for today


Imagine there's no countries


It isn't hard to do


Nothing to kill or die for


And no religion too


Imagine all the people


Living life in peace


You may say I'm a dreamer


But I'm not the only one


I hope someday you'll join us


And the world will be as one


Imagine no possessions


I wonder if you can


No need for greed or hunger


A brotherhood of man


Imagine all the people


Sharing all the world


You may say I'm a dreamer


But I'm not the only one


I hope someday you'll join us


And the world will be as one

U2~


I Still Haven't Found What I'm...~


I have climbed the highest mountains


I have run through the fields


Only to be with you


Only to be with you


I have run, I have crawled


I have scaled these city walls


Only to be with you


But I still haven't found


What I'm looking for


But I still haven't found


What I'm looking for.


I have kissed honey lips


Felt the healing in her fingertips


It burned like fire


This burning desire


I have spoke with the tongue of angels


I have held the hand of a devil


It was warm as the night


I was cold as a stone


But I still haven't found


What I'm looking for


But I still haven't found


What I'm looking for


I believe in the Kingdom Come


Then all the colours will bleed into one


But yes I'm still running


You broke the bonds


You loosed the chains


You carried the cross


And my shame


And my shame


You know I believe it


But I still haven't found


What I'm looking for


But I still haven't found


What I'm looking for

Morrissey~


Jack the Ripper~


Oh you look so tired


Mouth slack and wide


Ill-housed and ill-advised


Your face is as mean as your life has been


Crash into my arms


I want you


You don't agree but you don't refuse


I know you


And I know a place


Where no one is likely to pass


Oh you don't care it it's late


And you don't care if you're lost


And oh you look so tired


But tonight you presume too much


Too much.. too much


And if it's the last thing I ever do


Oh I'm gonna get you


Crash into my arms


I want you


You don't agree but you don't refuse


I know you


Crash into my arms


I want you


You don't agree but you refuse


I know you

Steve Miller Band~


The Joker~


Some people call me the space cowboy.


Yea...


Some call me the gangster of love.


Some people call me Maurice.


Cause I speak of the pompotous of love.


People talk about me baby.


Say I'm doing you wrong, doing you wrong.


Well you worry, baby, don't worry.


Cause I'm right here, right here,


Right here, right here at home.


Cause I'm a picker, I'm a grinner,


I'm a lover, I'm a sinner.


I play my music in the sun.


I'm a joker, I'm a smoker.


I'm midnight toker.


I get my lovin' on the run.


You're the cutest thing that I ever did see.


I really love your peaches. Wanna shake your tree.


Lovey dovey, lovey dovey, lovey dovey all the time.


Ohey, baby, I'll sure show you a good time.


Cause I'm a picker, I'm a grinner,


I'm a lover, I'm a sinner.


I play my music in the sun.


I'm a joker, I'm a smoker.


I'm midnight toker.


Sure don't want to hurt no one.


People keep talking about me, baby.


Say I'm doing you wrong.


Well you worry, don't worry,


No don't worry mama.


Cause I'm right here at home.


You're the cutest thing that I ever did see.


I really love your peaches. Wanna shake your tree.


Lovey dovey, lovey dovey, lovey dovey all the time.


Come on baby. Show me a good time.

Pink Floyd~


One Of My Turns~


Oh my God, what a fabulous room!


Are all these your guitars?


This place is bigger than our apartment.


Uh, could I have a drink of water?


Ya want some?  Huh?


Oh wow!  Look at this tub!


Wanna take a bath?


What're you watching?


Hello?


Are you feeling ok?


Day after day,


Our love turns gray,


Like the skin on a dying man.


And night after night,


We pretend it's all right,


But I have grown older,


And you have grown colder,


And nothing is very much fun, anymore.


And I can feel,


One of all my turns coming on.


I feel,


Cold as a razor blade,


Tight as a tourniquet,


Dry as a funeral drum.


Run to the bedroom,


In the suitcase on the left,


You'll find my favorite axe.


Don't look so frightened,


This is just a passing phase,


One of my bad days.


Would you like to watch TV?


Or get between the sheets?


Or contemplate a silent freeway?


Would you like something to eat?


Would you like to learn to fly?  -- Would ya?


Would you like to see me try?


Ooohh. No!


Would you like to call the cops?


Do you think it's time I stopped?


Why are you running away?

U2~


Red Hill Mining Town~


From father to son


The blood runs thin


Our faces frozen (still) against the wind


The seam is split


The coal face cracked


The lines are long


And there's no going back


Through hands of steel


And a heart of stone


Our labour day has come and gone


And you leave us holding on


In Red Hill Town


As the lights go down


I'm hanging on


You're all that's left to hold on to


I'm holding on


You're all that's left to hold on to


The glass is cut


The bottle run dry


Our love runs cold


In the caverns of the night


We're wounded by fear


Injured in doubt


I can lose myself


You I can't live without


Because you keep me holding on


In Red Hill Town as the lights go down


I'm hanging on


You're all that's left to hold on to


I'm holding on


You're all that's left to hold on to


And we scorched the earth


Set fire to the sky


Stoop so low to reach so high


A link is lost


The chain undone


Now we wait all day


For the night to come


And it comes


And it comes


Like a hunter (child)


I'm hanging on


You're all that's left to hold on to


I'm hanging on


We see love slowly stripped away


Our love, has seen a better day


I'm hanging on


You're all that's left to hold on to


I'm hanging on


You're all that's left to hold on to


See the lights go down on Red Hill Town


See light go down on Red Hill Town

Def Leppard~


Rock of Ages~


I've got something to say


It's better to burn out, than fade away


Rise up! Gather round


Rock this place to the ground


Burn it up, let's go for broke


Watch the night go up in smoke


Rock on! Rock on!


Drive me crazier,


No serenade, no fire brigade


just Pyromania


What do you want?


What do you want?


I want rock'n'roll, yes I do


Long live rock'n'roll


Let's go, let's strike a light


We're gonna blow like dynamite


I don't care if it takes all night


Gonna set this town alight


What do you want? 


What do you want?


I want rock'n'roll, alright!


Long live rock'n'roll


Rock of Ages, Rock of Ages


Still rollin', keep rollin'


Rock of Ages, Rock of Ages


Still rollin', rock'n'rollin


We got the power, got the glory


Just say you need it, and if you need it say yeah!


I'm burnin' burnin' I got the fever


I know for sure, there ain't no cure


So feel it, don't fight it, go with the flow


gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme one more for the road


What do you want? 


What do you want?


I want rock'n'roll, you betcha


Long live rock'n'roll


Rock of Ages, Rock of Ages


Still rollin', keep rollin'


Rock of Ages, Rock of Ages


Still rollin', rock'n'rollin


We got the power, got the glory


Just say you need it, and if you need it say yeah!


We're gonna burn this damn place down


down to the ground

Queensryche~


Silent Lucidity~


Hush now, don't you cry


Wipe away the teardrop from your eye


You're lying safe in bed


It was all a bad dream


Spinning in your head


Your mind tricked you to feel the pain


Of someone close to you leaving the game of life


So here it is, another chance


Wide awake you face the day


Your dream is over... or has it just begun?


There's a place I like to hide


A doorway that I run through in the night


Relax child, you were there


But only didn't realize it and you were scared


It's a place where you will learn


To face your fears, retrace the years


And ride the whims of your mind


Commanding in another world


Suddenly you hear and see


This magic new dimension


I will be watching over you


I am gonna help you see it through


I will protect you in the night


I am smiling next to you, in Silent Lucidity


Visualize your dream


Record it in the present tense


Put it into a permanent form


If you persist in your efforts


You can achieve dream control


Dream control


How's that then, better?


Hug me


If you open your mind for me


You won't rely on open eyes to see


The walls you built within


Come tumbling down, and a new world will begin


Living twice at once you learn


You're safe from the pain in the dream domain


A soul set free to fly


A round trip journey in your head


Master of illusion, can you realize


Your dream's alive, you can be the guide but...


I will be watching over you


I am gonna help to see it through


I will protect you in the night


I am smiling next to you....

Guns 'N Roses~


Sweet Child O' Mine~


She's got a smile that it seems to me


Reminds me of childhood memories


Where everything


Was as fresh as the bright blue sky


Now and then when I see her face


She takes me away to that


special place


And if I stared too long


I'd probably break down and cry


Sweet child o' mine


Sweet love of mine


She's got eyes of the bluest skies


As if they thought of rain


I hate to look into those eyes


And see an ounce of pain


Her hair reminds me


of a warm safe place


Where as a child I'd hide


And pray for the thunder


And the rain


To quietly pass me by


Sweet child o' mine


Sweet love of mine


Where do we go


Where do we go now


Where do we go


Sweet child o' mine

Welcome to the Jungle~


Welcome to the jungle


We've got fun 'n' games


We got everything you want


Honey, we know the names


We are the people that can find


Whatever you may need


If you got the money, honey


We got your disease


In the jungle


Welcome to the jungle


Watch it bring you to your


Knees, knees


I wanna watch you bleed


Welcome to the jungle


We take it day by day


If you want it you're gonna bleed


But it's the price you pay


And you're a very sexy girl


That's very hard to please


You can taste the bright lights


But you won't get them for free


In the jungle


Welcome to the jungle


Feel my, my, my serpentine


I, I wanna hear you scream


Welcome to the jungle


It gets worse here everyday


Ya learn ta live like an animal


In the jungle where we play


If you got a hunger for what you see


You'll take it eventually


You can have anything you want


But you better not take it from me


In the jungle


Welcome to the jungle


Watch it bring you to your


Knees, knees


I wanna watch you bleed


And when you're high you never


Ever want to come down, YEAH!


You know where you are


You're in the jungle baby


You're gonna die


In the jungle


Welcome to the jungle


Watch it bring you to your


knees, knees


In the jungle


Welcome to the jungle


Feel my, my, my serpentine


In the jungle


Welcome to the jungle


Watch it bring you to your


knees, knees


In the jungle


Welcome to the jungle


Watch it bring you to your


It's gonna bring you down-HA!

U2~


Where the Streets Have No Name~


I want to run


I want to hide


I want to tear down the walls


That hold me inside


I want to reach out


And touch the flame


Where the streets have no name


I want to feel sunlight on my face


See that dust cloud disappear without a trace


I want to take shelter from the poison rain


Where the streets have no name


Where the streets have no name


Where the streets have no name


We're still building


Then burning down love, burning down love


And when I go there


I go there with you ....


It's all I can do


The cities a flood


And our love turns to rust


We're beaten and blown by the wind


trampled in dust


I'll show you a place


High on a desert plain


Where the streets have no name


Where the streets have no name


Where the streets have no name


Still building


Then burning down love


Burning down love


And when I go there


I go there with you


It's all I can do


~


U2~


With or Without You~


See the stone set in your eyes


See the thorn twist in your side


I wait for you


Slight of hand and twist of fate


On a bed of nails she makes me wait


And I wait....without you


With or without you


With or without you


Through the storm we reach the shore


You give it all but I want more


And I'm waiting for you


With or without you


With or without you


I can't live


With or without you


And you give yourself away


And you give yourself away


And you give


And you give


And you give yourself away


My hands are tied


My body bruised, she's got me with


Nothing left to win


And nothing else to lose


With or without you


With or without you


I can't live


With or without you
