In the clearing stands a boxer, and a fighter by his trade
And he carries the reminders of every glove that laid him down or cut him
til he cried out in his anger and his shame
I am leaving, I am leaving, but the fighter still remains
In the clearing stands a boxer, and a fighter by his trade
And he carries the reminders of every glove that laid him down or cut him
til he cried out in his anger and his shame
I am leaving, I am leaving, but the fighter still remains

I have a few:
"The strands in your eyes that color them wonderful stop me, and steal my breath."
"Honey, I fell asleep beneath the flowers, for a couple of hours...on a beautiful day..."
"If you could only see how blue her eyes can be when she says - when she says she loves you"
"He said son I made my life out of readin peoples faces, and knowin what the cards were by the way they held there eyes. So if you don't mind me saying, I can see you're out of aces. For a taste of your whiskey, I'll give you some advice...." That whole song basically.![]()
"Its a new dawn
Its a new day
Its a new life
For me
And Im feeling good..."

I've been careless with a delicate man
And it's a sad, sad world

Just because she can."

-Hinder, Get Stoned
There are so many that I am forgetting.. Iso much music... but I believe that by far the WORST lyric I ever heard was:
"I'm hot cuz I'm fly.
You ain't cuz you not."
-Mims, This is Why I'm Hot
um... duh.What a waste of a good beat. And sadly yes, I still jam to this.

When I get what I want, then I never want it again - 'Violet' by Hole
That sums me up so perfectly, it's crazy!
I tried to pick out my favorite lines from Prince's Adore, but it's impossible- I love the whole song.
Women of color:
Shake your ass and preserve your heritage.
Bang those fucking drums.
Do it for the present and future generations.
Have fun and stick it to the man at the same time. (bad-dominicana)










Take a look around you; nothing's what it seems
We're living in the broken home of hopes and dreams
Let me be the first to shake a helping hand
Anybody brave enough to take a stand
I've knocked on every door on every dead-end-street
Looking for forgiveness and what's left to believe
When the world keeps trying to drag me down
Gotta raise my hands, gotta stand my ground
I say, hey
Have a nice day
Have a nice day
---Bon Jovi
I can't say it's the top-of-the-line lyrically, but it's better than average. I can say it's at least better than neutral. He's not the one making the stand, but at least he's shaking the hand. Thank God for that.
Is anyone else looking for something they can't find?
Gotta say, Bon Jovi isn't doing bad. Their message makes up for anything else. They are beyond the ordinary for their make.
They've got it goin' on. A big thumbs up!
I wouldn't mind layin' my hands on him either lol. Maybe I could even convince him to fly
Does he REALLY only aim to please? He's gotta be pullin' my strings..... *gasp*

An angels smile is what you sell
You promise me heaven, then put me through hell
Chains of love got a hold on me
When passions a prison, you cant break free
Youre a loaded gun
Theres nowhere to run
No one can save me
The damage is done
Chorus:
Shot through the heart
And youre to blame
You give love a bad name
I play my part and you play your game
You give love a bad name
You give love a bad name
Paint your smile on your lips
Blood red nails on your fingertips
A school boys dream, you act so shy
Your very first kiss was your first kiss goodbye
Youre a loaded gun
Theres nowhere to run
No one can save me
The damage is done
Chorus
The most toasty messages under the sun. I can come and go and then again know they are there.
There's nothing like a hot ass in black spandex.
He goes too far ....
but then there's that spandex.It's not redemption by any means, but at least he can play a role. I've been countin' his symptoms and wonderin' when he's gonna be addicted lmfao on the silliness.
So you run and you run to catch up with the sun, but it's sinking and racing around to come up behind you again. The sun is the same in a relative way, but you're older - shorter of breath and one day closer to death.
Pink Floyd
So we are told this is the golden age. And gold is the reason for the wars we wage.
U2
I've got something inside me, not what my life's about. 'Cause I've been letting my outside tide me over till my time runs out.
Harry Chapin
I'm sure there's some cheerful lyrics that I like somewhere.





Playing in the dirt
We find the seeds of doubt
Don't water them with your tears
Don't think about all the years
You'd rather be without
Eden let's me in
I find the seeds of love
And climb upon the highwire
I kiss and tell all my fears
Falling down the mountain
End up kissing dirt
Look a little closer
Sometimes it wouldn't hurt
Playing in the dirt
We find the seeds of fun
And we scream like alleycats
Tearing down what we attack
To prove that we are one
Cutting through the night
And we find the seeds of lust
And loose our minds on one intent
These passions never seem to end
There's nothing wrong with kissing the dirt and smooching it as long as you know what it all means and you end up happy and proud and giving, and not taken advantage of .At some time you know what you are and you end up giving more than you receive. God bless the fact that I have something to give.





Shed a tear 'cause I'm missin' you
I'm still alright to smile
Girl, I think about you every day now
Was a time when I wasn't sure
But you set my mind at ease
There is no doubt
You're in my heart now
Said, woman, take it slow
It'll work itself out fine
All we need is just a little patience
Said, sugar, make it slow
And we come together fine
All we need is just a little patience
(patience)
Mm, yeah
I sit here on the stairs
'Cause I'd rather be alone
If I can't have you right now
I'll wait, dear
Sometimes I get so tense
But I can't speed up the time
But you know, love
There's one more thing to consider
Said, woman, take it slow
And things will be just fine
You and I'll just use a little patience
Said, sugar, take the time
'Cause the lights are shining bright
You and I've got what it takes
To make it, We won't fake it,
I'll never break it
'cause I can't take it
(whistle)
...little patience, mm yeah, mm yeah
need a little patience, yeah
just a little patience, yeah
some more patience, yeah
need some patience, yeah
could use some patience, yeah
gotta have some patience, yeah
all it takes is patience,
just a little patience
is all you need
I been walkin' the streets at night
Just tryin' to get it right
Hard to see with so many around
You know I don't like
Being stuck in the crowd
And the streets don't change
But baby the name
I ain't got time for the game
Cause I need you
Yeah, yeah, but I need you
Oo, I need you
Whoa, I need you
Oo, all th
is time
(ah)
Axl Rose isn't that bad.... lol he needs a girl. At least that's what this song says.
Beautiful song. Makes you wonder if Axl really meant it. If he did, I can understand.










All your twisted thoughts free flow
To everlasting memories
Show soul
Kiss the stars with me
And dread the wait for
Stupid calls returning us to life
We say to those who are in love
It can't be true 'cause we're too young
I know that's true because
so long I was
So in love with you
So I thought
-Flyleaf, "So I Thought"
Hands and feet are all alike
But gold between divide us
Hands and feet are all alike
But fear between divide us
All slip away
-Dave Matthews Band, "Cry Freedom"
Down With The Sickness. By Disturbed....Make it out to what you want...i love it!
Can you feel that?
Ah, shit
Drowning deep in my sea of loathing
Broken your servant I kneel
(Will you give in to me?)
It seems what's left of my human side
Is slowly changing in me
(Will you give in to me?)
Looking at my own reflection
When suddenly it changes
Violently it changes (oh no)
There is no turning back now
You've woken up the demon in me
[Chorus:]
Get up, come on get down with the sickness [x3]
Open up your hate, and let it flow into me
Get up, come on get down with the sickness
You mother get up come on get down with the sickness
You fucker get up come on get down with the sickness
Madness is the gift, that has been given to me
I can see inside you, the sickness is rising
Don't try to deny what you feel
(Will you give in to me?)
It seems that all that was good has died
And is decaying in me
(Will you give in to me?)
It seems you're having some trouble
In dealing with these changes
Living with these changes (oh no)
The world is a scary place
Now that you've woken up the demon in me
[Chorus]
(And when I dream) [x4]
No mommy, don't do it again
Don't do it again
I'll be a good boy
I'll be a good boy, I promise
No mommy don't hit me
Why did you have to hit me like that, mommy?
Don't do it, you're hurting me
Why did you have to be such a bitch
Why don't you,
Why don't you just fuck off and die
Why can't you just fuck off and die
Why can't you just leave here and die
Never stick your hand in my face again bitch
FUCK YOU
I don't need this shit
You stupid sadistic abusive fucking whore
How would you like to see how it feels mommy
Here it comes, get ready to die
[Chorus (last line changed to "Madness has now come over me")]
My favorite lyric right now is by damageplan and the ramones...both relate to work,lol
"Fuck You"
FUCK YOU I'M THROUGH
I WANT NOTHING MORE FROM YOU
MY SANITY IS WEARING THIN
IRATE, I HATE
YOU DETERMINED YOUR OWN FATE
NOW EVERYTHING IS CAVING IN
FUCK YOUR POWER TRIP AND
FUCK YOUR ATTITUDE AND
FUCK YOUR BLOATED EGO TOO
FUCK YOUR HISTORY, YOUR TRAGEDY, YOUR MISERY
BUT MOST OF ALL.......FUCK YOU!
FUCK THIS, ALL OF THIS
BITCH AND MOAN AND BLEED AND PISS
SECONDS AWAY FROM GOIN' DOWN
GO AHEAD AND PUSH ME
YOUR FAKERY, YOUR BUTCHERY
IS NOTHING COMPARED TO MY HATE FOR YOU
FUCK YOUR APATHY AND
FUCK YOUR EMPATHY AND
FUCK YOUR NIHILISM, TOO
FUCK YOUR BITTER PILLS, TAKE EM ALL, YOU
NEVER WILL
BUT MOST OF ALL.......FUCK YOU!
NOTHING CHANGES, NOTHING FAZES, NOTHING
STAYS THE SAME
FUCK YOUR POWER TRIP AND
FUCK YOUR ATTITUDE AND
FUCK YOUR BLOATED EGO TOO
FUCK YOUR HISTORY, YOUR TRAGEDY, YOUR MISERY
BUT MOST OF ALL....... MOTHERFUCKER FUCK YOU!
"The Job That Ate My Brain"
Out of bed at 6:15 In a rush and you can't think
Gotta catch the bus and train
I'm in a rush and feelin' insane
I can't take this crazy pace
I've become a mental case
Yeah, this is the job that ate my brain
Go to work, it's such a drag
Face the boss, he's such a nag
In a suit and in a tie
I look so late I wanna die
I can't take this crazy pace
I've become a mental case
Yeah, this is the job that ate my brain
I punch the clock at 9:05
I know I'm late, but still alive
Everyone just stares at me
(I'm last in line for this party)
I can't take this crazy pace
I've become a mental case
Yeah, this is the job that ate my brain
Five o'clock rolls around
I feel so glad I kiss the ground
Ain't enough hours in the day
There's go to be a better way
I can't take this crazy pace
I've become a mental case
Yeah, this is the job that ate my brain
I like the lyrics to these songs, both by Orgy:
"Inside My Head"
Every time you think of me like your goddamn trophy
It just pushes me away
Pushes me
I never said I'd make you mine
Why do you insist on pushing all the time
I know it's not my vivid imagination
Telling you lies
Telling you lies
It's funny how you found the time
To expose yourself and be another one of these
Psychos all around me
Psychos all around me
Like to say my head's not right
My head's not right
Medicated aren't we all
Turning into you
Got me crazed with what you do
Inside my head there's a vision of you
And nothing's changing
Nothing's changing
I want to run away
And you say it's alright
I want to run away
Walk away
Just go
I think you're pushing, pushing me
To seek and discover to notice you're different than all the rest
Keeps telling me to ask why
Would it really hurt you to leave me alone sometimes
To seek and discover your genius uncovered
Your pain
Nothing's changing
Nothing's changing
Medicated aren't we all
Turn me into you
Got me crazed with what you do
Inside my head there's a vision of you
And nothing's changing
Nothing's changing
I want to run away
And you say it's alright
I want to run away
Pushing me away
Pushing me away
Pushing me away
Pushing me, pushing me
Pushing me
Medicated aren't we all
Turning into you
Got me crazed with what you do
Inside my head there's a vision of you
And nothing's changing
Medicate it are we're all
Turn me into you
Got me crazed with what you do
You do
Inside my head there's a vision of you
And nothing's changing
Nothing's changing
Nothing's changing
Maybe it's not real
It's all inside my head
Maybe it's not real
It's all inside my head
And nothing's changing
It's all inside my head
And nothing's changing
It's all inside my head
"Beautiful Disgrace"
I see the real you
You put me in my place
Close to perfection
You're out of control; you're out of control
Pardon me I feel the need to scream
I'm ill Stuck in the chemical abyss
I'm gripping at the walls around me
Pardon me if I was laughing at the crimes
I was laughing at the way you lie
Tell me why
All my lies come down to this
'Cause I don't need friends who try to wrap me up in red tape
Get 'em off my back they're dead weight
In case you didn't catch my signs the first time let me tell you again
All my life I tried to explain how I love myself to release the pain
Anti-magnetic so quit your bitching, lying, crying
Tell me why
Lately inside I'm giving in to revenge
Tell me why I'm in over my head
Why I'm in over my head
I'm in so deep that
When I wake up I don't wanna know you
Tell me my name again
You're just a beautiful disgrace
A beautiful disgrace
A beautiful disgrace
Come with me so I can show you how to live
Burning the candle at both ends
I'm gripping at the walls around me
Don't complicate it
I'm addicted to this life
I'll be your token of attention
All my lies come down to this
Lately inside I'm giving in to revenge
Tell me why I'm in over my head
Why I'm in over my head
I'm in so deep that
Lately inside I'm giving in to revenge
Tell me why I'm in over my head
Why I'm in over my head
I see the real you
You put me in my place
Close to perfection
You're out of control
I see the real you
I saw through everything
Close to perfection
I saw through everything
If I could take away this pain
Just one more time, I might
I saw through everything
Tell me why I'm in over my head
When I wake up I don't wanna know you
Tell me my name again
You're just a beautiful disgrace
Such a beautiful disgrace
Disgrace, disgrace
You're such a beautiful disgrace
You're so vain, vain, vain
So grow your guilt from another vine
I've given this enough time (lately inside I'm giving in)
Grow your guilt from another vine
I've given this enough time (lately inside I'm giving in)
Grow your guilt from another vine
I've given this enough time (tell me why I'm in)
Grow your guilt from another vine
I've given this enough time
Grow your guilt you're a beautiful
Disgrace, (disgrace, disgrace)
Such a beautiful disgrace
You're so vain, vain, disgrace





"Wake me up before you go go."
"He will come in one of the pre-chosen forms. During the rectification of the Vuldrini, the traveler came as a large and moving Torg! Then, during the third reconciliation of the last of the McKetrick supplicants, they chose a new form for him: that of a giant Slor! Many Shuvs and Zuuls knew what it was to be roasted in the depths of the Slor that day, I can tell you!"
It's too late
To fall in love with Sharon Tate
It's too late
There's no one left that I even wanna imitate
Lyrics by Jim Carroll, performed by the Jim Carrol Band. They were around in the early 80's He was the herion addict Leo DeCaprio played in the movie "Basketball Diaries". The book is much better BTW.





and I wonder
when I sing along with you
if everything could ever feel this real forever
if anything could ever be this good again
the only thing I'll ever ask of you
you've got to promise not to stop when I say when
Foo Fighters-"Everlong"
She shines in a world full of ugliness.
She matters when everything is meaningless.
Fragile, she doesn't see her beauty,
She tries to get away.
Sometimes it's just that nothing seems worth saving...
I can't watch her slip away.
The Fragile--Nine Inch Nails.
Should I ever meet her, this is the song I will hear.
Why So Serious?





If Heaven and Hell decide
That they both are satisfied
Illuminate the NOs on their vacancy signs
If there's no one beside you
When your soul embarks
Then I'll follow you into the dark

Because there ain't no tits on the radio



Got your bag on your shoulder,
Never thought once about thinkin' it over.
Feel like you're the only one,
Who's ever been in a bad situation.
Now you need to take yourself a love vacation,
'Cause after all, what's done is done.
Sick and tired of being sick and tired.
Everything around you's growin' old.
The days drag on, the nights last forever,
Every day's tougher just to keep it together.
Forget everything you've ever known,
Except for home.
He made a promise he couldn't keep.
I bet he's not losing a bit of sleep,
Over how you're getting down the line.
Now don't you fret, now don't you worry,
Don't get in too much of a hurry,
'Cause up ahead's that city limit sign.
Sick and tired of being sick and tired.
Everything around you's growin' old.
The days drag on, the nights last forever,
Every day's tougher just to keep it together.
Forget everything you've ever known,
Except for home.
Home is where the heart is:
That's what somebody once said. (Yeah.)
I think your heart is where your love is:
All the rest baby, the rest it's all in your head.
Well, memories, they're over-rated:
All they do is get you down an' frustrated,
And who needs that on their back?
Starting over, cold turkey,
Washin' your soul of everything that's dirty.
Seal your heart of every crack.
You're no longer sick and tired.
Everything around you feels brand new.
Yeah. the days fly by, the nights could be longer:
Every day you're just a little bit stronger,
Now that you've spread your wings and flown,
Back to home.
Back to home.
Back to home. (Home.)
Yeah, back to home.
(Back to home.)
Sick and Tired- Cross Canadian Ragweed.. Its actually a country song (Yeaaa country, I know RAG on me! ha) about a stripper... check out the vid, its pretty cool
http://www.pcplanets.com/videos-5538...nd-Tired.shtml





hold on, baby, you're losing it
the water's high, you're jumping into it
and letting go and no one knows
that you cry, but you don't tell anyone
that you might not be the golden one
and you're tied together with a smile
but you're coming undone
-taylor swift.. love my country music![]()
And Jesus was a sailor when he walked upon the water.
He had spent a long time watching from his lonely wooden tower,
and when he knew for certain only drowning men could see him
He said "All men will be sailors then until the sea shall free them,"
But he himself was broken, long before the sky would open,
Forsaken - almost human -
he sank beneath your wisdom like a stone.
-- Leonard Cohen, from "Suzanne".
I could quote dozens and dozens of Cohen's songs, actually. Along with Tori & Tom Waits, probably my favorite lyricist ever.
It's true that all the men you knew were dealers who said they were through with dealing every time you gave them shelter. I know that kind of man, It's hard to hold the hand of anyone who's reaching for the sky just to surrender.
And sweeping up the jokers that he left behind you'll find he did not leave you very much, not even laughter. Like any dealer he was watching for the card that is so high and wild he'll never need to deal another. He was just some Joseph looking for a manger.
You hate to watch another tried man lay down his hand like he was giving up the holy game of poker. And while he talks his dreams to sleep you notice there's a highway that is curling up like smoke above his shoulder. It's curling up like smoke above his shoulder.
From "The Stranger". And finally, from the one we all know oh so well - I prefer it sung by Jeff Buckley:
Maybe there's a god above
but all I ever learned from love
Is how to shoot at someone who outdrew ya.
And it's no complaint you hear tonight
and it's not some pilgrim who's seen the light -
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah.
- "Hallelujah", of course.
Sincerely,
R. White
