My favorite Non MB20/Rob song.

I still remember the very first time I ever heard it, and it wasn't in that dumb movie!!

quote:

Peter Gabriel..

"In Your Eyes"

love I get so lost, sometimes
days pass and this emptiness fills my heart
when I want to run away
I drive off in my car
but whichever way I go
I come back to the place you are

all my instincts, they return
and the grand facade, so soon will burn
without a noise, without my pride
I reach out from the inside

in your eyes
the light the heat
in your eyes
I am complete
in your eyes
I see the doorway to a thousand churches
in your eyes
the resolution of all the fruitless searches
in your eyes
I see the light and the heat
in your eyes
oh, I want to be that complete
I want to touch the light
the heat I see in your eyes

love, I don't like to see so much pain
so much wasted and this moment keeps slipping away
I get so tired of working so hard for our survival
I look to the time with you to keep me awake and alive

and all my instincts, they return
and the grand facade, so soon will burn
without a noise, without my pride
I reach out from the inside

in your eyes
the light the heat
in your eyes
I am complete
in your eyes
I see the doorway to a thousand churches
in your eyes
the resolution of all the fruitless searches
in your eyes
I see the light and the heat
in your eyes
oh, I want to be that complete
I want to touch the light,
the heat I see in your eyes
in your eyes in your eyes
in your eyes in your eyes
in your eyes in your eyes

Justin Currie - If I ever loved you

Baby, I was not the one
I guess you know that now
But I kept you real distracted for a while.

I look back and nothing much
Ever comes to mind
Sometimes I can picture half a smile

We were thick as thieves
Hung on each others sleeves
Kissing all the time

But if I ever loved you shouldn't I be crying
Shouldn't I be cracking up
And drinking all the time?
Yeah,if I ever loved you how come I feel alright
How come the nights are so easy
And the mornings look so bright?

I try to figure what has gone
I seem to look the same
Maybe there's a tightness around my eyes

Sometimes the evening comes
I think I miss someone
And then I realise

That if I ever loved you shouldn't I be crying
Shouldn't I be cracking up
And drinking all the time?
Yeah,if I ever loved you how come I feel alright
How come the nights are so easy
And the mornings look so bright?

Love it can make your world
Bring you alive
But I wasn't dead before
So baby, you ain't hard to survive.

Maybe I was not the one
But I had to try
And in the end there's no such thing
As wasted time

I was the interim
Between nothing-ness and him
So how is that a crime?

But if I ever loved you shouldn't I be crying?
Shouldn't I be cracking up and drinking all the time?
Yeah, if I ever loved you how come I feel alright?
How come the nights are so easy
And the mornings look so bright?

For someone - Jake Walden

It takes a lot to love another
Even more to set them free
Even whores can fall for someone
Maybe someday, you'll fall for me

There are times when I am blinded
Other days the prophet’s mine
We are masters of illusions
As we shelter our desires

I'm not tryin' to tell you where you oughta go
I'm not tryin' to tear you down
I'm just speakin' from my heart
I'm just speakin' from my heart

So come on Mothers of the young ones
Come on Fathers of the world
Tell 'em go and search for someone
Tell 'em one day return to me

I'm not tryin' to tell you where you oughta go
I'm not tryin' to tear you down
I'm just speakin' from my heart
I'm just speakin' from my heart

Perfect lives - Garfield Mayor

Talk to me - like there's nothing left to fear
We need to spell it out with words that make things clear
Complications cloud our sky
I couldn't bear to blow away before the light

Talk to me - there's so much that needs to be said
We ought to paint it in big letters 'bove our bed
And though you give what's more than fair
I’ve gotta ask for more if we're to make it

So we'll try to wake up
To the beauty that's in front of us
And we'll strive
For perfect lives in vain

Tell it like it is man - you're integrity wears thin
You need to say it so we both know what you mean
There's no scope for artistry
It's never been so vital we have honesty

So we'll try to wake up
To the beauty that's in front of us
And we'll strive
For perfect lives
For a chance at the impossible
And we'll try to wake up
To the beauty that's in front of us
And we'll strive
For perfect lives in vain

shout out to the new fan

thumbing my way

I have not been home since you left long ago
I'm thumbing my way back to heaven

Counting steps,.. walking backwards on the road
I'm counting my way back to heaven

I can't be free with what's locked inside of me...
If there was a key, you took it in your hands.
There's no wrong or right,... but I'm sure there's good and bad
The questions linger overhead

No matter how cold the winter, there's a springtime ahead
I'm thumbing my way back to heaven
I wish that I could hold you... wish that I had
Thinking 'bout heaven

I let go of a rope,... thinking that's what held me back
And in time I've realized,... it's now wrapped around my neck
I can't see what's next,... from this lonely overpass
Hang my head and count my steps, as another car goes past

All the rusted sign we ignore throughout our lives
Choosing the shiny ones instead
I turned my back,... now there's no turning back

No matter how cold the winter,.. there's a springtime ahead
I smile, but who am I kidding?
I'm just walking the miles,.. every once in a while I'll get a ride
I'm thumbing my way back to heaven

Thumbing my way back to heaven
I'm thumbing my way back to heaven...

lovely..

I wanna live
with a cinnamon girl
I could be happy
the rest of my life
With a cinnamon girl.

A dreamer of pictures
I run in the night
You see us together,
chasing the moonlight,
My cinnamon girl.

Ten silver saxes,
a bass with a bow
The drummer relaxes
and waits between shows
For his cinnamon girl.

A dreamer of pictures
I run in the night
You see us together,
chasing the moonlight,
My cinnamon girl.

Pa sent me money now
I'm gonna make it somehow
I need another chance
You see your baby loves to dance
Yeah...yeah...yeah.

Hurt - Johnny Cash

I hurt myself today
To see if I still feel
I focus on the pain
The only thing that's real
The needle tears a hole
The old familiar sting
Try to kill it all away
But I remember everything

What have I become
My sweetest friend
Everyone I know goes away
In the end
And you could have it all
My empire of dirt
I will let you down
I will make you hurt

I wear this crown of thorns
Upon my liar's chair
Full of broken thoughts
I cannot repair
Beneath the stains of time
The feelings disappear
You are someone else
I am still right here

What have I become
My sweetest friend
Everyone I know goes away
In the end
And you could have it all
My empire of dirt
I will let you down
I will make you hurt

If I could start again
A million miles away
I would keep myself
I would find a way

awww... this song is so heart-breaking beautiful!

to the moon and back

She's taking time making up the reasons
To justify all the hurt inside
Guess she knows from the smiles and the look in their eyes
Everyone's got a theory about the bitter one
They're saying, "Mama never loved her much"
And, "Daddy never keeps in touch
That's why she shies away from human affection"
But somewhere in a private place
She packs her bags for outer space
And now she's waiting for the right kind of pilot to come
And she'll say to him
She's sayin

I would fly to the moon and back if you'll be...
If you'll be my baby
I've got a ticket for a world where we belong
So would you be my baby?

She can't remember a time when she felt needed
If love was red then she was color blind
All her friends, well they've been trialed for treason
And crimes that were never defined
She's saying, "Love is like a barren place,
And reaching out for human faith
It's like a journey I just don't have a map for"
So baby's gonna take a dive and
Push the shift to overdrive
Send a signal that she's hanging
All her hopes on the stars
What a pleasant dream
She's saying

I would fly to the moon and back if you'll be...
If you'll be my baby
I've got a ticket for a world where we belong
So would you be my baby?

Hold on, hold on ...

Mama never loved her much
And, Daddy never keeps in touch
That's why she shies away from human affection
But somewhere in a private place
She packs her bags for outer space
And now she's waiting for the right kind of pilot to come
And she'll say to him
She's saying

I would fly to the moon and back if you'll be...
If you'll be my baby
I've got a ticket for a world where we belong
So would you be my baby?

I would fly to the moon and back if you'll be...
If you'll be my baby
I've got a ticket for a world where we belong
So would you be my baby?
yeaaaah ...

So this is Christmas - John Lennon

So this is Christmas.
And what have you done?
Another year over
and a new one just begun.
And so this is Christmas.
I hope you have fun,
the near and the dear ones,
the old and the young.
A very merry Christmas
and a happy new year.
Let's hope it's a good one
without any fear.

And so this is Christmas
for weak and for strong,
for rich and the poor ones.
The road is so long.
And so happy Christmas
for black and for white,
for yellow and red ones.
Let's stop all the fight.
A very merry Christmas
and a happy new year.
Let's hope it's a good one
without any fear.

So this is Christmas.
And what have we done?
Another year over
and a new one just begun.
And so happy Christmas.
We hope you have fun,
the near and the dear ones,
the old and the young.
A very merry Christmas
and a happy new year.
Let's hope it's a good one
without any fear.
War is over if you want it.

In Between
by Linkin Park

Let me apologize to begin with,
Let me apologize for what I’m about to say,
But trying to be genuine was harder than it seemed,
But somehow I got caught up in between.

Let me apologize to begin with,
Let me apologize for what I’m about to say,
But trying to be someone else was harder than it seemed,
But somehow I got caught up in between.

Between my pride and my promise,
Between my lies and how the truth gets in the way,
The things I want to say to you get lost before they come,
The only thing that’s worse than one is none.

Let me apologize to begin with,
Let me apologize for what I’m about to say,
But trying to regain your trust was harder than it seemed,
But somehow I got caught up in between.

Between my pride and my promise,
Between my lies and how the truth gets in the way,
The things I want to say to you get lost before they come,
The only thing that’s worse than one is none,
The only thing that’s worse than one is none.

And I cannot explain to you,
In anything I say or do or plan,
Fear is not afraid of you,
But guilt’s a language you can understand,
I cannot explain to you in anything I say or do,
But hope the actions speak the words they can.

For my pride and my promise,
For my lies and how the truth gets in the way,
The things I want to say to you get lost before they come,
The only thing that’s worse than one is none.

For my pride and my promise,
Between my lies and how the truth gets in the way,
The things I want to say to you get lost before they come.

The only thing that’s worse than one is none. (3x)

Beating My Heart
by Jon McLaughlin

there are times every now and then
i forget why i'm breathing out
and why i'm breathing in
and i get so sick with the little things
i can't relax when it's happening
to know what it means
it means

and then i open my eyes
and i know you're beating my heart, beating my heart
look at the sky
i know you're beating my heart, beating my heart
i go extra miles to show
that you are the one thing that i've got
look at the sky
i know you're beating my heart, beating my heart

there's a sun coming over the horizon
i wanna know where it's coming from
but doesn't everyone
it's like who am i and why am i here

this whole world will take me down
without you standing by my side
my side
you're holding onto me
you're making everything inside
come alive

Better Days - Pete Murray

And I saw it coming
I saw emptiness and tragedy
And I felt like running
So far away
But knew I had to stay
And I know when I'm older
I look back and I still feel the pain
I know I'll be stronger and I know I'll be fine
For the rest of my days

I've seen better days
Put my face in my hands
Get down on my knees and I pray to God
Hope he sees me through till the end

I noticed the smallest things
But I didn't notice the change
It was hot in the morning
Then it turned so cold, twas the end of the day
There was no condensation I just felt like I was in space
I needed my friends there I just turned around
They were gone without a trace

I've seen better days
Put my face in my hands
Get down on my knees and I pray to God
Hope he sees me through till the end

Now I have just started
And I won't be done till the end
There's nothing I have lost
That was once placed upon the palm of my hands
And all of these hard times
Have faded round the bend
Now that I'm wiser I cannot wait
Till I can help my friends

I've seen better days
Put my face in my hands
Get down on my knees and I pray to God
Hope he sees me through till the end

Seen better days
Put my face in my hands
Get down on my knees and I pray to God
Hope he sees me through till the end

Seen better

We Looked Like Giants - Death Cab for Cutie

God bless the daylight,
the sugary smell of springtime
Remembering when you were mine
In a still suburban town
When every thursday
I'd break those mountain passes
And you'd skip your early classes
And we'd learn how our bodies worked.

God damn the black night
with all it's foul temptation
I become what i always hated
When i was with you then

We looked like giants
in the back of my grey subcompact
Fumbling to make contact
As the others slept inside

And together there
In a shroud of frost,
the mountain air
Began to pass from every pane of weathered glass
And i held you closer than anyone would ever get

Do you remember the JAMC?
And reading aloud from magazines
I don't know about you but i swear on my name they could smell it on me
I've never been too good with secrets.
No...

And together there
In a shroud of frost and mountain air
Began to pass through every pane of weathered glass
And i held you closer...

I've no fear but for falling down
So look out below, I am falling now
Oh please understand, I just need my friend
A way, a way, a way, home.
