Somewhere in Texas by the yellow sand
Somewhere in Texas by the yellow sand
Somewhere in Texas I lost my man
Somewhere in Texas by the yellow sand
And how many times do I have to lose you
And how many times do I have to lose you
Before I realize
It’s too late
A tornado is truly coming my way
A tornado is truly coming my way
It’ll sweep the land
I think I’ll stay
It’ll sweep the land
I think I’ll stay
Somewhere I lost my man
Somewhere in Texas by the yellow sand

she lives by the water
not so far from me
i sometimes go and see her
i know she’s there for me
she’s something for the longing
and i know where she belongs
she’s got a place in my heart
while lovers come and go
was it easy
was it hard
not to be a part of it all
when you changed
they said you were strange
give in
or give up
they say that it’s hard and
she says it’s difficult
to stop once you’ve started

The Cranberries- put me down
Let me take you by the hand
Away from here
to another land
Oh this land in which we live
Where people love and are meant to forgive
And you always prove me wrong
‘cause you’re always putting me down
I can’t take this anymore
I decided to leave
Walked out through the door
Oh, and why do you think I go
Because you know it can never be so
And you always prove me wrong
‘cause you’re always putting me down
So let me take you by the hand
Away from here
to another land
Oh, this land in which we live
Where people love and are meant to forgive
And you always prove me wrong
‘cause you’re always putting me down

Oh thou, who givest sustenance to the universe
From whom all things proceed
To whom all things return
Unveil to us the face of the true spiritual sun
Hidden by a disk of golden light
That we may know the truth
And do our whole duty
As we journey to thy sacred feet
Well I said
"Lily, Oh Lily I don't feel safe
I feel that life has blown a great big hole through me"
And she said
"Child, you must protect yourself
I'll show you how with fire"
Gabriel before me
Raphael behind me
Michael to my right
Uriel on my left side
In the circle of fire
I said
"Lily, Oh Lily I'm so afraid
I fear I am walking in the Veil of Darkness"
And she said
"Child, take what I say
With a pinch of salt
And protect yourself with fire"
Gabriel before me
Raphael behind me
Michael to my right
Uriel on my left side
In the circle of fire

It’s alright I’ll come ‘round when you’re not in
And I’ll pick up all my things
Everything I have I bought with you
But that’s alright too
It’s just everything I do
We did together
And there’s a little piece of you
In whatever
I’ve got everything I need
I’ve got petrol in the car
I’ve got some money with me
There’s just one problem
You’re the only one I want
You’re the only one I want
You’re the only one I want
You’re the only one I want
It’s alright I know where I’m going
I’m going to stay with my friend
Mmm, yes, he is very good looking
The only trouble is
He’s not you
He can’t do what you do
He can’t make me laugh and cry
At the same time
Let’s change things
Let’s danger it up
We’re crazy enough
I just can’t take it
You’re the only one I want
You’re the only one I want
You’re the only one I want
You’re the only one I want
I know where I’m going
But I don’t want to leave
I just have one problem
We’re best friends, yeah?
We tied ourselves in knots
Doing cartwheels ‘cross the floor
Just forget it alright
Sugar?…
Honey?…
Sugar?…

#Leo Kate Bush/#Gemini Prince:
We take all the telescopes
And we turn them inside out
And we point them away from the big sky
Put your eye right up to the glass, now
And here we’ll find the constellation of the heart
Steer your life by these stars
On the unconditional chance
‘Tis here where Hell and Heaven dance
This is the constellation of the heart
We take all the telescopes
And we turn them inside out
And we point them away from the big sky
Put your eye right up to the glass, now
And here we’ll find the constellation of the heart
The constellation of the heart
The constellation of the heart
We take all the telescopes
And we turn them inside out
And we point them away from the big sky
Put your eye right up to the glass, now
And here we’ll find the constellation of the heart
The constellation of the heart
The constellation of the heart
Well we think you’d better wake up capt’n
There’s something happen’n up ahead
We’ve never seen anything like it
We’ve never seen anything like it before
I want a full report
That’s it
What do you mean, “that’s it?”
That’s all you get
You’d better do something ‘bout it
What am I supposed to do about it?
We don’t know, but you can’t run away from it
Maybe you’d better face it
I can’t do that
C’mon face it
I can’t do that
C’mon face it
What am I gonna do?
Is it gonna hurt, is it gonna hurt me bad?
Oh here’s the constellation of the heart
Who said anything about it hurting
It’s gonna be beautiful
It’s gonna be wonderful
It’s gonna be paradise
(Just being alive, it can really hurt)
Ooh find me the man with the ladder
And he might lift me up to the stars
(Without the pain there’d be no learning
Without the hurting we’d never change.)
Ooh and if you see the woman with the key
I hear she’s opening up the doors to Heaven
Oh and here comes the man with the stick
He said he’d fish me out the moon
Ooh here’s the constellation of the heart
It is the constellation of the heart
Oh yes it is the constellation of the heart

You wear guilt
Like shackles on your feet
Like a halo in reverse
I can feel
The discomfort in your seat
And in your head it's worse
There's a pain
A famine in your heart
An aching to be free
Can't you see
All love's luxuries
Are here for you and me
And when our worlds they fall apart
When the walls come tumbling in
Though we may deserve it
It will be worth it
Bring your chains
Your lips of tragedy
And fall into my arms
And when our worlds they fall apart
When the walls come tumbling in
Though we may deserve it
It will be worth it

Megadeth- I'll get even
I’m lonely and abandoned
Washed up, left for dead
I’m lost inside the desert
Of every word you said
Like a nuclear reactor
Or TNT
I’m thinking about the times
When you lied to me
All the innuendo
Caught up on your hook
I was just a name
In your little black book
Ah, I’ll get even with you
I’m bitter and I’m twisted
I haven’t slept in days
I’m lonely and I’m angry
I can’t make it go away
I’m like a bomb that’s ticking
I got voices in my head
I got a doll with needles in
Wishing you were dead
I’ll get you back somehow
That’s what I’m gonna do
I’ll get you back somehow
Your nightmare coming true
Ah, I’ll get even with you
Ah, that’s what I’m gonna do
Gonna get even with you
You better look behind you
‘Cause there I’m gonna be
I’ll be standing in the shadows
With who I used to be
He’s slightly schizophrenic
Me and me and me and me agree
That you are gonna pay
For what you did to me
Ah, I’ll get even with you
Gonna get even with you
Ah, that’s what I’m gonna do
I’m gonna…
Ah, I’ll get even with you

Home is where I want to be
Pick me up and turn me round
I feel numb - born with a weak heart
I guess I must be having fun
The less we say about it the better
Make it up as we go along
Feet on the ground
Head in the sky
It's okay I know nothing's wrong . . nothing
Hi yo I got plenty of time
Hi yo you got light in your eyes
And you're standing here beside me
I love the passing of time
Never for money
Always for love
Cover up and say goodnight . . . say goodnight
Home - is where I want to be
But I guess I'm already there
I come home - she lifted up her wings
Guess that this must be the place
I can't tell one from another
Did I find you, or you find me?
There was a time, before we were born
If someone asks, this where I'll be . . . where I'll be
Hi yo We drift in and out
Hi yo sing into my mouth
Out of all those kinds of people
You got a face with a view
I'm just an animal looking for a home
Share the same space for a minute or two
And you love me till my heart stops
Love me till I'm dead
Eyes that light up, eyes look through you
Cover up the blank spots
Hit me on the head Ah ooh
Talking Heads // This Must Be The Place (Naive Melody)

Life, mama says
Is bloodletting go
If I care for nothing
Sun don't shine and the grass don't grow
Bloodletting go
Society dictates
By rules and regulations
But when things are so tired
You see things in the wrong light
Soon there will be no light
If the sun don't shine
Life, mama says
Is bloodletting go
If I care for nothing
Sun don't shine and the grass don't grow
Bloodletting go
If by chance we both forget
The passage of space and time between
Pick up the pieces cold and wet
And drive them before the light to clean
Good times, bad times
Pain will come and pain will go
If I care for nothing
Sun don't shine
And if by chance we both forget
The passage of space and time between
Pick up the pieces cold and wet
And drive them before the light to clean
Good times, bad times
Pain will come and pain will go
If I care for nothing
Sun don't shine and the grass don't grow
Bloodletting go

Old friend, what you doin’ out there?
Come inside, sit yourself on that chair
Its been a long time, since the last time
And many burdens have passed through our hands
Night into day and day in to night
Do you know what I mean? I’m trying to say I’m sorry
You’re the star in the scene, you’re not just anybody
There’s a light in your eye that I can’t seem to reach
Over head, in the sky,
Is it shining on me? Is it shining on me?
I’ve always knew, that you would not hang around
You and me were like the thieves of the town
Too many girlfriends, but not enough love
Too many late nights, and not enough sleep
Strung out and wasted, no good and shameful
The life we tasted, there on the table
Do you know what I mean? I’m trying to say I’m sorry
You’re the star in the scene, you’re not just anybody
There’s a light in your eye that I can’t seem to reach
Over head, in the sky,
Is it shining on me? Is it shining on me?
We have hope in our heart, and dreams in our head,
But most of the time, we stayed in our bed
If you go out there, you just want more,
It’s a cold, cold world, outside that door

It doesn't take a genius
To tell me what I am
Or lecture me with poetry
And tell me that I can
I don't remember
What happened yesterday
But I don't give a damn about
What all those people say
It takes years to find the nerve
To be apart from what you've done
To find the truth inside yourself
And not depend on anyone
It takes years to find the nerve
To be apart from what you've done
To find the truth inside yourself
And not depend on anyone
It don't take no Houdini
To tell me what I am
Parasites and literates
They'd burn me if they can
But I don't give a damn about
What those people say
They pick you up and kick you out
They hurt you every day
It takes years to find the nerve
To be apart from what you've done
To find the truth inside yourself
And not depend on anyone
It takes years to find the nerve
To be apart from what you've done
To find the truth inside yourself
And not depend on anyone
It takes years to find the nerve
To be apart from what you've done
To find the truth inside yourself
And not depend on anyone
It takes years to find the nerve
To be apart from what you've done
To find the truth inside yourself
And not depend on anyone
It takes years to find the nerve
To be apart from what you’ve done
To find the truth inside yourself
And not depend on anyone

David Sylvian - Before The Bullfight from his 1986 album Gone To Earth.
I hear your voice way down inside
A whispering sea of towering trees
But no reply
A silence so rare and more than I can stand
Sweeps like a flood
Through life’s flesh and blood
And steals away with its heart
If I’m losing you
Then there’s nothing more than I can say
The fighting is on and battles are won
Or thrown away
But if I could live safe and sound
In God given fields or mountains of steel
Then here I’d stay ‘til you’re gone
Guilty of stealing every thought I own
I will take my turn to fight the bullfight
Every word’s sunk in deep
Like the blades of a knife through my heart
But my strength will return to fight the bullfight
As time’s come to show
I’m told nothing more than I should know
A ship on the sea that threatens to leave
But never goes
This island of blue
Where life clings to your hands
Like water and sand will lose its way
When you’re gone
When all’s forgiven still every fault’s my own
I will take my turn to fight the bullfight
Say a prayer for my release
When every hope in the world is asleep
And my strength will return to fight the bullfight

Opium by Dead Can Dance
Sometimes
I feel like I want to live
Far from the metropolis
Just walk through that door
Sometimes
I feel like I want to fly
Reach out to the painted sky
A prisoner to the wind
A bird on the wing
Sometimes
I feel the ocean in my blood
See rain from the sky above
Her salt brined tears
And now
Those tears leave taste on my tongue
Like the warm rush you get from
Black opium…
Sometimes
I feel like I want to leave
Behind all these memories
And walk through that door
Outside
The black night calls my name
But all roads look the same
They lead nowhere…

Get off the car
Kick his chain, Kick his pride
Get him soaked hit run
Lift up your toes
In my mouth
And we can make love
[Repeat: x5]
And we can go
We're covered by the sacred fire
[Repeat: x2]
When you come to me, you come to broke
[Repeat: x15]
Without a doubt
We're covered by the sacred fire
When you come to me, you come to me broke
Guilty girl, Guilty boy
Get to make out
Him chocked with mousse
Lift up your toes
In my mouth
And we can make love
[Repeat: x2]
