Pariah Posted April 14 Author Report Share Posted April 14 I was born in the land of the sun And the tall green grass And I don't understand How all this has come to pass How we've come to surround ourselves In a sea of thieves In a land without learning Only the fools believe I went driving last night On a dark canyon road Had the sky to myself But I wasn't alone Had the pain of my lifetime For my company How did it end up like this For you and me When love breaks the promise The heart has to keep It leaves only truth here to find When the spirit is crushed And the hurt is so deep Between you and I Even when love has come and gone And our hearts have moved along I will remember There was a time we had the trust And that always was enough I will remember I will remember you As I open my eyes to one more day The wind burns my face As it whispers your name As it's pulling me forward It tears me free And the only thing left Is the tears for and me 'Cause when love breaks the promise The heart has to keep It leaves only truth here to find When the spirit is crushed And hurt is so deep Between you and I Even when love has come and gone And our hearts have moved along I will remember There was a time we had the trust And that always was enough I will remember Even when love has come and gone And our hearts have moved along I will remember There was a time we had the trust And that always was enough I will remember I will remember you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pariah Posted April 18 Author Report Share Posted April 18 Justice to the left of you, justice to the right Speak when you are spoken to, but don't pretend you're right This life's not for living, it's for fighting and for wars No matter what the truth is, hold on to what is yours Jigsaw puzzle traitors sent to spill the beans Constitution screw up shattering the dreams Blood flows in the desert, dark citadels burning too Watch, look over your shoulder, this one is strictly for you Hold on, hold on Wait! Maybe the answer's looking for you Hold on, hold on Wait! Take your time, think it through Yes, I can make it through Hold on, hold on Sunshine, shine on through Hold on, hold on Sunshine, shine on you See it through Talk the simple smile, such platonic eye How they drown in incomplete capacity Strangest of them all, when the feeling calls How we drown in stylistic audacity Charge the common ground Round and round and round, we living in gravity Shake - We shake so hard, how we laugh so loud When we reach, we believe in eternity I believe in eternity Hold on, hold on Sunshine, shine on through (Wait! Take your time, see it through) Hold on, hold on Sunshine, shine on through (Wait! Maybe a chance is looking for you) Hold on, hold on Hold on, hold on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pariah Posted April 21 Author Report Share Posted April 21 A long time ago came a man on a track Walking thirty miles with a sack on his back And he put down his load Where he thought it was the best He made a home in the wilderness He built a cabin and a winter store And he plowed up the ground by the cold lake shore And the other travelers came walking down the track And they never went further, no They never went back Then came the churches, then came the schools Then came the lawyers, and then came the rules Then came the trains and the trucks with their loads And the dirty old track was the telegraph road Then came the mines, then came the ore Then there was the hard times, then there was a war Telegraph sang a song about the world outside Telegraph road got so deep and so wide Like a rolling river And my radio says tonight it's gonna freeze People driving home from the factories There's six lanes of traffic Three lanes moving slow I used to like to go to work, but they shut it down I've got a right to go to work But there's no work here to be found Yes, and they say we're gonna have to pay what's owed We're gonna have to reap From some seed that's been sowed And the birds up on the wires and the telegraph poles They can always fly away from this rain and this cold You can hear them singing out their telegraph code All the way down the telegraph road You know, I'd sooner forget But I remember those nights When life was just a bet on a race Between the lights You had your head on my shoulder You had your hand in my hair Now you act a little colder Like you don't seem to care But believe in me, baby, and I'll take you away From out of this darkness and into the day From these rivers of headlights, these rivers of rain From the anger that lives on the streets with these names 'Cause I've run every red light on memory lane I've seen desperation explode into flames And I don't want to see it again From all of these signs saying, "Sorry, but we're closed" All the way Down the telegraph road Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pariah Posted April 21 Author Report Share Posted April 21 Sweet surrender on the Quayside You remember we used to run and hide In the shadow of the cargoes I take you one at a time And we're counting all the numbers Down to the waterline Well, near misses on the dogleap stairways French kisses in the darkened doorways A foghorn blowing out wild and cold A policeman, he shines a light upon my shoulder Up comes a coaster fast and silent in the night Over my shoulder all you can see are the pilot lights No money in our jackets and our jeans are torn Your hands are cold but your lips are warm She can see him on the jetty that they used to know She can feel him in the places where the sailors go When she's walking by the river or the railway line She can still hear him whisper Let's go down to the waterline Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pariah Posted April 23 Author Report Share Posted April 23 We run along easy at periscope depth Sun dappling through clear water So went the dream of the drowned submariner Far away from the slaughter Your hair is a strawflower that sings in the sun My darling, my beautiful daughter So went the dream of the drowned submariner Cast away on the water From down in the vault, down in the grave Reaching up to the light on the waves So she did run to him over the grass She fell in his arms and he caught her So went the dream of the drowned submariner Far away on the water Far away on the water Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pariah Posted May 11 Author Report Share Posted May 11 I had a dream I was down at Jojo's Havin' a burger 'neath the setting sun Johnny was sitting in the corner Sippin' on a glass of Depaz Rhum He was checking out all of the tombstones 'Cross the cemetery in Lorient The stage was hung, the soundcheck done He was ready for everyone He strummed a guitar made of orchids And the who's who all were there Bill Haley, Carl Perkins, not to mention Buddy Holly Plus, a couple of Jordanaires Colonel Parker was lurking on a nearby beach With a contract full of deceit But Johnny took the stage And tore up every page And the crowd flew out of their seats Johnny Hallyday Leap, and the net will appear There's no other way You ever could have wound up here All the blood and the sweat and the long shot bets And the things that the people say You were more than just the French Elvis You was Johnny Hallyday There was a sound come across the ocean From Memphis to the heart of France It made Johnny dream and made the young girls scream And everybody sing and dance And the sound spread through all nations But the source only played in one So Johnny made a plan, and he started a band And then made himself a hell of a run Johnny Hallyday Leap, and the net will appear There's no other way You ever could have wound up here All the blood and the sweat and the long shot bets And the things that the people say You were more than just the French Elvis You was Johnny Hallyday The Champs-Élysées was crowded Almost a million strong There to raise a glass and to watch him pass Maybe hoping for just one more song Johnny Hallyday Leap, and the net will appear There's no other way We all could have wound up here All the blood and the sweat and the long shot bets And the things that the people say You were more than just the French Elvis You was Johnny, yeah, you was Johnny Johnny Hallyday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pariah Posted May 11 Author Report Share Posted May 11 All those little things that my grandfather said Not so little now, here in my grown-up head I didn't always see the wisdom at the time But I'm older now Right after lunch and a Cafe Royale, he'd take his combat nap And slip away to God knows where, beneath his weathered cap And doze off with that parlance I came to understand Equal strain on all parts Son, whatever course you set It'll ease the pain on backs and brains and hearts It's a solid thing to wish for It's the wrong thing to forget Lyin' in this hammock now It sure feels good to get An equal strain on all parts It works on land, works at sea, for creatures big and small Cooling down our cylinders, living's a long haul Jokes and songs and travelin' They lift the fog Words from a Newfie cabin boy still steer me near and far And I'll pass them on in poems and songs before I cross the bar It's worth a little time and space to understand Equal strain on all parts Whatever course you set It'll ease the pain on backs and brains and hearts It's a solid thing to wish for It's the wrong thing to forget Lying in this hammock now It sure feels good to get An equal strain on all parts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
