Steel Rails by Alison Krauss
Steel rails, chasing sunshine round the bend
Winding through the trees, like a ribbon in the wind
I don't mind not knowing what lies down the track
Cause I'm Looking out ahead, to keep my mind from turning back
It's not the first time I've found myself alone and known
If I really had you once, then I'd have you when I'm gone
Whistle blows, blowin' lonesome in my mind
Calling me along that never ending metal line
Steel rails, chasing sunshine round the bend
Winding through the trees, like a ribbon in the wind
I don't mind not knowing what lies down the track
Cause I'm Looking out ahead, to keep my mind from turning back
Sun is shining, through the open boxcar door
Lying in my mind with the things I've known before
I've lost count of the hours, days, and nights
The rhythm of the rails keeps the motion in my mind
Steel rails, chasing sunshine round the bend
winding through the trees, like a ribbon in the wind
I don't mind not knowing what lies down the track
Cause I'm Looking out ahead, to keep my mind from turning back
Cause I'm Looking out ahead, to keep my mind from turning back

ORION by Jethro Tull
Orion, won't you give me your star sign
Orion, get up on the sky-line
I'm high on my hill and I feel fine
Orion, let's sip the heaven's heady wine
Orion, light your lights:
come guard the open spaces
from the black horizon to the pillow where I lie.
Your faithful dog shines brighter than its lord and master
Your jewelled sword twinkles as the world rolls by.
So come up singing above the cloudy cover
Stare through at people who toss fitful in their sleep.
I know you're watching as the old gent by the station
scuffs his toes on old fag packets lying in the street
And silver shadows flick across the closing bistro.
Sweet waiters link their arms and patter down the street,
their words lost blowing on cold winds in darkest Chelsea.
Prime years fly fading with each young heart's beat
Orion, won't you make me a star sign
Orion, get up on the sky-line
I'm high on your love and I feel fine
Orion, let's sip the heaven's heady wine
And young girls shiver as they wait by lonely bus-stops
after sad parties: no-one to take them home
to greasy bed-sitters and make a late-night play
for lost virginity a thousand miles away.

Au bout de mes reves Jean Jacques Goldman
Et même si le temps presse
Même s'il est un peu court
Si les années qu'on me laisse
Ne sont que minutes et jours.
Et même si l'on m'arrête
Ou s'il faut briser les murs
En soufflant dans les trompettes
Ou
la force de murmures.
R1
J'irai au bout de mes rêves
Tout au bout de mes rêves
J'irai au bout de mes rêves
Où la raison s'achève
Tout au bout de mes rêves
J'irai au bout de mes rêves
Tout au bout de mes rêves
Où la raison s'achève
Tout au bout de
mes rêves.
2
Et même s'il faut partir
Changer de terre et de trace
S'il faut chercher dans l'exil
L'empreinte de mon espace.
Et même si les tempêtes
Les dieux mauvais, les courants
Nous feront courber la tête
Plier les genoux sous le vent.
R2
...
J'irai au bout de mes rêves
3
Et même si tu me laisses
Au creux d'un mauvais détour
En ces instants qui déssèchent
La face de nos amours.
Je garderai la blessure
Au fond de moi tout au fond
Mais au-dessus je te jure
Que j'effacerai ton nom.
Refrain 1

Theater by Gatsbys American Dream
I see the world in a swirl of hues,
But my favorite color is shame.
Tonight the sky is painted...
Tonight the sky is painted... melancholy
And the wind sings songs as if it would lament
Some tragedy on the far side of the world.
We're in the deep pockets of my mind,
Where I lust after blood and pain.
Tonight the sky is painted...
Tonight the sky is painted... melancholy
And the wind sings songs as if it would lament
Some tragedy on the far side of the world.
I am I and the world is a woman
From who I must take take take.
In an act of lust, no, in an act of pride
And I am damned, but can I be saved?
But can I be saved?...saved
Tonight the sky is painted...(echo)
Tonight the sky is painted...(echo)
Tonight the sky is painted...(Tonight the sky is)
Melancholy and the wind sings songs as if it would lament
Some tragedy on the far side of the world.
And the wind sings songs as if it would lament
Some tragedy on the far side of the world.

Call the police James Morrison
I'm done, shoot your gun
I think it's time to take it back to where we started from
Your pain, my pain
I write it down and tell you exactly how I feel again
And all I see is a mass of confusion of who I am and what I gotta be
Closed eyes, big lines
I get so tempted just to let it ride sometimes
Looks good, tastes bad
Makes me wonder where I buried all the dreams I had
And all I see is a less-good version
Of a man I don't want to be
All I feel is you tying me down
To something that just isn't real
And all I need is some truth, God help me
Before the devil buries me
I can't do nothing if I can't do something my way
Well I must be crazy if I follow every word you say
When the shit comes down you'll be the first to walk away
Call the police, coz I've lost control and I really want to see you bleed
I'm awake, why wait
I don't need someone to tell me who to be today
Quite sure, unlike before
Came off the road and I forgot what I was looking for
And all I see is a less-good version
Of a man I don't want to be
All I feel is you tying me down
To something that just isn't real
And all I need is some truth, God help me
Before the devil buries me
Can't just hack at me, you know
You might just have to let me go
Closed in, I need some room to grow
You don't know what you think you know
Hiding behind your pop machine
So you can break someone else's dream
Call the police coz I've lost control and I really want to see you bleed
I can't do nothing if I can't do something my way
I must be crazy if I follow every word you say
When the shit comes down you'll be the first to walk away

Who wants to live forever
Queen
Words and music by brian may
============================
There's no time for us
There's no place for us
What is this thing that builds our dreams yet slips away
From us
Who wants to live forever
Who wants to live forever....?
There's no chance for us
Its all decided for us
This world has only one sweet moment set aside for us
Who wants to live forever
Who wants to live forever?
Who dares to love forever?
When love must die
But touch my tears with your lips
Touch my world with your fingertips
And we can have forever
And we can love forever
Forever is our today
Who wants to live forever
Who wants to live forever?
Forever is our today
Who waits forever anyway?

Green green grass of home Tom Jones
The old home town looks the same as I step down from the train,
And there to meet me is my Mama and Papa.
Down the road I look and there runs Mary hair of gold and lips like cherries.
It's good to touch the green, green grass of home.
Yes, they'll all come to meet me, arms reaching, smiling sweetly.
It's good to touch the green, green grass of home.
The old house is still standing tho' the paint is cracked and dry,
And there's that old oak tree I used to play on.
Down the lane I walk with my sweet Mary, hair of gold and lips like cherries.
It's good to touch the green, green grass of home.
Yes, they'll all come to meet me, arms reaching, smiling sweetly.
It's good to touch the green, green grass of home.
[spoken:]
Then I awake and look around me, at four grey wall surround me
And I realize that I was only dreaming.
For there's a guard and there's a sad old padre -
Arm in arm we'll walk at daybreak.
Again I touch the green, green grass of home.
Yes, they'll all come to see me in the shade of that old oak tree
As they lay me neath the green, green grass of home.

Misty Road - The Rolling Stones
The way she held my eyes
Said "Ain't nobody take the misty road"
I'm gonna try it sometime
Even if I'm going away
And she take you down by the waist
On the way to find the misty road
She never said that with her eyes
She said "Don't you understand"
"I'm tempted but yeah if I find the road, I'm gonna ride"
Ooooh, oooh, ooh, aah (repeat)
The way she held me tight
I knew all right
In just a minute I'd be galloping away down the misty road
And jump
Oooh.....
And jump, and jump, and . . .
The way she held me tight
Its a brilliant moonlight
I'd always thought that everybody was kicking us down the moonlight hill
We had heroin and booze
Those assholes that run us in
Said its a locked up case
Hey baby
Oooh...

Smoke gets in your eyes - The Platters
They asked me how I knew
My true love was true
I of course replied
"Something here inside
Cannot be denied"
They said someday you'll find
All who love are blind
When your heart's on fire
You don't realise
Smoke gets in your eyes
So I chaffed and I gaily laughed
To think they would doubt my love
Yet today, my love has flown away
I am without my love
Now laughing friends deride
Tears I cannot hide
So I smile and say
"When a lovely flame dies,
Smoke gets in your eyes."

Misty Water The kinks
By the town of Straight and Narrow,
There's a dark and misty place.
Everything is hazy,
So the people are afraid.
All except Maria's daughters,
Who believe in misty ways.
Everything is lovely,
In a misty morning glaze.
I like misty water,
I like fog and haze.
Anne Maria and her daughters,
They like misty water.
I like misty water,
I like fog and haze.
Anne Maria and her daughters,
Take a sip of misty water.
Though Maria is not lovely,
She's the lady of my dreams.
'Cause I see my lady,
Through a misty, silky screen.
And seeing is believing,
But I can't believe my eyes.
Everything is lovely,
In a misty paradise.
I like misty water,
I like fog and haze.
Anne Maria and her daughters,
They like misty water.
They like misty water,
I like fog and haze.
Anne Maria and her daughters,
Take a sip of misty water.
I like misty water,
I like fog and haze.
Anne Maria and her daughters,
They like misty water.
They like misty water,
I like fog and haze.
Anne Maria and her daughters,
They like misty water.
I like misty water,
I like fog and haze.
Anne Maria and her daughters...

CLOUDY - Simon and Garfunkel
Cloudy
The sky is gray and white and cloudy,
Sometimes I think it's hanging down on me.
And it's a hitchhike a hundred miles.
I'm a rag-a-muffin child.
Pointed finger-painted smile.
I left my shadow waiting down the road for me a while.
Cloudy
My thoughts are scattered and they're cloudy,
They have no borders, no boundaries.
They echo and they swell
From Tolstoy to Tinker Bell.
Down from Berkeley to Carmel.
Got some pictures in my pocket and a lot of time to kill.
Hey sunshine
I haven't seen you in a long time.
Why don't you show your face and bend my mind?
These clouds stick to the sky
Like floating questions, why?
And they linger there to die.
They don't know where they are going, and, my friend, neither do I.
Cloudy,
Cloudy.

Lenny Kravitz
Mr. Cab Driver won't you stop to let me in
Mr. Cab Driver don't you like my kind of skin
Mr. Cab Driver you're never gonna win
Mr. Cab Driver won't stop to pick me up
Mr. Cab Driver I might need some help
Mr. Cab Driver only thinks about himself
Mr. Cab Driver
Mr. Cab Driver
Mr. Cab Driver don't like the way I look
He don't like dreads he thinks we're all crooks
Mr. Cab Driver reads too many story books
Mr. Cab Driver pass me up with eyes of fire
Mr. Cab Driver thinks we're all 165'ers
Mr. Cab Driver fuck you I'm a survivor
Let me in
Mr. Cab Driver

I was thinking aboutGuantanamera by the BVSC
here another Elvis Hit Hound Dog
You ain't nothin' but a hound dog
cryin' all the time.
You ain't nothin' but a hound dog
cryin' all the time.
Well, you ain't never caught a rabbit
and you ain't no friend of mine.
When they said you was high classed,
well, that was just a lie.

Thorn Tree in the garden Eric Clapton
There's a thorn tree in the garden, if you know just what I mean,
And I hate to hurt your feelings but its not the way it seems,
'Cause I miss her.
She's the only girl I've cared for, the only one I've known.
And no one ever shared more love than we've known.
And I miss her.
But it all seems so strange to see,
That she'd never turn her back on me
And leave without a last goodbye.
And if she winds up walking the streets,
Loving every other man she meets
Who'll be the one to answer why?
Lord, I hope it's not me, it's not me.
And if I never see her face again, I never hold her hand.
And if she's in somebody's arms, I know I'll understand
But I miss that girl. I still miss that girl.
Maybe someday soon, somewhere.
