Never had a point of view 'Cause my mind was always someone else's mind I never had to tell a lie 'Cause I left the choices up to them Don't know why, but I did
Oh, I want life Life wants me To breathe in its love
Take me I'm yours Now I'm coming up for air I'm gonna live my time for the rest of my life Then I'll be coming back for more
I never had to call the tune 'Cause I always drifted with the tide of the moon I would go out every night Looking for someone to treat me right Not a chance, not a hope in this world (world)
Oh, I want life Life wants me To breathe in its love
Take me I'm yours (take me) Now I'm coming up for air (I'm yours) I'm gonna live my time for the rest of my life Then I'll be coming back for more Ooh, ooh
Take me I'm yours (take me) Now I'm coming up for air (I'm yours) I'm gonna live my time for the rest of my life Then I'll be coming back for more More
Since we are all discussing tantric buddhism. And I thought this was written in a mindfulness present moment style..
One! Two! One, two, three!
I was workin’ part-time in a 5-and-dime My boss was Mr. McGee He told me several times That he didn't like my kind cuz I was a bit 2 leisurely It seems that I was busy doin’ somethin’ close 2 nothin’ But different than the day before That's when I saw her, ooh, I saw her She walked in through the out door, out door
She wore a raspberry beret The kind U’d find in a second hand store Raspberry beret If it was warm, she wouldn't wear much more Raspberry beret I think I love her
Built like she was, she had the nerve 2 ask m'once If I planned 2 do her any harm So looka here now, I put her on the back of my bike And uh, we went ridin' down by Old Man Johnson's farm I said now, overcast days never turned me on But somethin’ ‘bout the clouds and her mixed She-e-e-e wasn't 2 bright, but I could tell when she kissed me She knew how 2 get her kicks
She wore a raspberry beret Kind U’d find in a second hand store Raspberry beret If it was warm, she wouldn't wear much more Raspberry beret I think I love her
Rain sounds so cool when it hits the barn roof And the horses wonder who U are Thunder drowns out what the lightning sees U feel like a movie star They say the first time ain't the greatest But I'll tell ya, if I had the chance 2 do it all again, oh I wouldn't change a stroke Cuz baby, I'm the most With a girl as fine as she was then Whoo, oh...
Raspberry beret (Raspberry beret) Ow! Kind U’d find in a second hand store (Kind U find, oh no no!) Raspberry beret (Uh huh, uh) If it was warm, she wouldn't wear much more (Where have all the raspberry women gone?) Raspberry beret (Ow!) I think I, I think I love ya!
I find you in the morning After dreams of distant signs You pour yourself over me Like the sun through the blinds You lift me up and get me out Keep me walking but never shout "Hold the secret close", I hear you say
You know the way it throws about. It takes you in and spits you out It spits you out when you desire to conquer it, to feel you're higher To follow it you must be clean, with mistakes that you do mean Move the heart, switch the pace Look for what seems out of place
On and on it goes Calling like a distant wind Through the zero hour we'll walk We'll cut the thick and break the thin No sound to break, no moment clear When all the doubts are crystal clear Crashing hard into the secret wind
You know the way it twists and turns Changing color, spinning yarns You know the way it leaves you dry It cuts you up, and takes you high You know the way it's painted gold Is it honey? Is it cold? You know the way it throws about. It takes you in and spits you out
Oh, cuts you up Oh, cuts you up Oh, cuts you up La, la, la...
You know the way it throws about. It takes you in and spits you out It spits you out when you desire to conquer it, to feel you're higher To follow it you must be clean, with mistakes that you do mean Move the heart, switch the pace Look for what seems out of place
Oh, cuts you up Oh, cuts you up It's okay it goes this way. The line it twists, it twists away Cuts you up and spits you out Keeps you walking, but never shout La la la...
Clean The cleanest I've been An end to the tears And the in-between years And the troubles I've seen
Now that I'm clean You know what I mean I've broken my fall Put an end to it all I've changed my routine Now I'm clean
I don't understand What destiny's planned I'm starting to grasp What is in my own hands I don't claim to know Where my holiness goes I just know that I like What is starting to show
Sometimes
Clean The cleanest I've been An end to the tears And the in-between years And the troubles I've seen
Now that I'm clean You know what I mean I've broken my fall Put an end to it all I've changed my routine Now I'm clean
As years go by All the feelings inside Twist and they turn As they ride with the tide I don't advise And I don't criticise I just know what I like With my own eyes
Sometimes
Clean The cleanest I've been An end to the tears And the in-between years And the troubles I've seen Now that I'm clean
Sometimes
You know what I mean I've broken my fall Put an end to it all I've changed my routine Now I'm clean
All around me are familiar faces Worn out places, worn out faces Bright and early for their daily races Going nowhere, going nowhere And their tears are filling up their glasses No expression, no expression Hide my head I want to drown my sorrow No tomorrow, no tomorrow
And I find it kind of funny I find it kind of sad The dreams in which I'm dying Are the best I've ever had I find it hard to tell you 'Cos I find it hard to take When people run in circles It's a very, very mad world, mad world
Children waiting for the day they feel good Happy Birthday, Happy Birthday Made to feel the way that every child should Sit and listen, sit and listen Went to school and I was very nervous No one knew me, no one knew me Hello teacher tell me what's my lesson Look right through me, look right through me
And I find it kind of funny I find it kind of sad The dreams in which I'm dying Are the best I've ever had I find it hard to tell you 'Cos I find it hard to take When people run in circles It's a very, very mad world Mad world, mad world, mad world
This is based on a poem Allen Ginzberg wrote about his schizophrenic mother. She had had a vision and shared it with Ginzberg.
Anew! She wrote She wrote "The key is in the window, The key is in the sunlight At the window- The key is in the window, The key is in the sunlight At the window- Get married Allen Don't take drugs Get married Allen Don't take drugs Don't take drugs The key is in the bars, In the sunlight In the window. Love, Your mother Which is Naomi"
She said I'll throw myself away They are just phots after all I can't make you hang around I can't wash you off my skin Outside the frame, is what we're leaving out You won't remember anyway. I can go with the flow Don't say it doesn't matter anymore I can go with the flow
I remember when tey first became commonly known, my innocent 'skater' years. I still like a lot of their songs now but do not know if they are still formed as a band and producing.. But this track, the title specically is related to buddhist teachings, Go With The Flow
Every drop of rain that falls in Sahara Desert says it all It's a miracle All God's creations great and small The Golden Gate and the Taj Mahal That's a miracle Test tube babies being born Mothers,fathers dead and gone It's a miracle
We're having a miracle on earth Mother nature does it all for us The wonders of this world go on The hanging Gardens of Babylon Captain Cook and Cain and Abel Jimi Hendrix to the Tower of Babel It's a miracle it's a miracle it's a miracle It's a miracle
The one thing we're all waiting for is peace on earth - an end to war It's a miracle we need - the miracle The miracle we're all waiting for today
If every leaf on every tree could tell a story that would be a miracle If every child on every street had clothes to wear and food to eat That's a miracle If all God's people could be free to live in perfect harmony It's a miracle
We're having a miracle on earth Mother nature does it all for us Open hearts and surgery (wonders of this world go on) Sunday mornings with a cup of tea Super powers always fighting But Mona Lisa just keeps on smiling It's a miracle it's a miracle it's a miracle
(wonders of this world go on) It's a miracle it's a miracle it's a miracle It's a miracle
The one thing (the one thing) we're all waiting for (we're all waiting for) Is peace on earth (peace on earth) and an end to war (an end to war) It's a miracle we need - the miracle The miracle peace on earth and end to war today
That time will come one day you'll see when we can all be friends That time will come one day you'll see when we can all be friends That time will come one day you'll see when we can all be friends That time will come one day you'll see when we can all be friends
This song for me has always been about spiritual search
Pink Floyd: Learning to Fly
Into the distance, a ribbon of black Stretched to the point of no turning back A flight of fancy on a windswept field Standing alone my senses reeled A fatal attraction is holding me fast, How can I escape this irresistible grasp?
Can't keep my eyes from the circling skies Tongue-tied and twisted, just an earth-bound misfit, I
Ice is forming on the tips of my wings Unheeded warnings, I thought, I thought of everything No navigator to find my way home Unladened, empty and turned to stone A soul in tension -- that's learning to fly Condition grounded but determined to try
Can't keep my eyes from the circling skies Tongue-tied and twisted just an earth-bound misfit, I
Above the planet on a wing and a prayer, My grubby halo, a vapour trail in the empty air, Across the clouds I see my shadow fly Out of the corner of my watering eye A dream unthreatened by the morning light Could blow this soul right through the roof of the night
There's no sensation to compare with this Suspended animation, a state of bliss
Can't keep my mind from the circling skies Tongue-tied and twisted just an earth-bound misfit, I
Well I left my happy home to see what I could find out I left my folk and friends with the aim to clear my mind out Well I hit the rowdy road and many kinds I met there Many stories told me of the way to get there
So on and on I go, the seconds tick the time out There's so much left to know, and I'm on the road to find out
Well in the end I'll know, but on the way I wonder Through descending snow, and through the frost and thunder
Well, I listen to the wind come howl, telling me I have to hurry I listen to the robin's song saying not to worry
So on and on I go, the seconds tick the time out There's so much left to know, and I'm on the road to findout
Then I found myself alone, hopin' someone would miss me Thinking about my home, and the last woman to kiss me, kiss me
But sometimes you have to moan when nothing seems to suit yer But nevertheless you know you're locked towards the future
So on and on you go, the seconds tick the time out There's so much left to know, and I'm on the road to findout
Then I found my head one day when I wasn't even trying And here I have to say, 'cause there is no use in lying, lying
Yes the answer lies within, so why not take a look now? Kick out the devil's sin, pick up, pick up the good book now
All that is, was and will be Universe much too big to see Time and space never ending Disturbing thoughts, questions pending Limitations of human understanding
Too quick to criticize Obligation to survive We hunger to be alive
(Twisting, turning, through the never)
All that is, ever Ever was, will be, ever Twisting, turning, through the never
In the dark, see past our eyes Pursuit of truth no matter where it lies Gazing up to the breeze of the heavens On a quest, meaning, reason
Come to be, how it begun All alone in the family of the sun Curiosity teasing everyone On our home, third stone from the sun
(Twisting, turning, through the never)
All that is, ever Ever was, will be, ever Twisting, turning, through the never
On through the never we must go On through the never, out to the Edge of forever we must go On through the never, the never comes
(Twisting, turning, through the never)
All that is, ever Ever was, will be, ever Twisting, turning, Who we are, ask forever Twisting, turning, through the never
This makes me think of when buddha left his household and journeyed into the wilds to find himself in the stills of meditation:
Nick Drake
The tramp moves on to the end of the street I listen to the echo of his hobnail feet For some there's a future to find But I think they're leaving me behind.
The world humes on at its breakneck pace People fly in their lifelong race For them there's a future to find But I think they're leaving me behind.
The chances they come, but the chances have been lost Success can be gained, but at too great a cost For some there's a future to find But I think they're leaving me behind.
The wind sweeps up and goes back to its tree The rain flows by and moves on to the sea For them there's a future to find But I think they're leaving me behind.
I've watched your face for a long time It's always the same I've studied the cracks and the wrinkles You were always so vain Well, now you live your life like a shadow In the pouring rain
Oh, it's called love Yes, it's called love Oh, it's called love And it belongs to us Oh, it dies so quickly It grows so slowly But when it dies, it dies for good It's called love and it belongs to everyone but us
I've lived my life in the valleys I've lived my life on the hills I've lived my life on alcohol I've lived my life on pills
But it's called love And it belongs to us It's called love And it's the only thing that's worth living for It's called love And it belongs to us It's called love Yes it's called love
Oh, love is found in the east and west When love is at home, it's the best Love is the cure for every evil Love is the air that supports the eagle
It's called love And it's so uncool It's called love And somehow it's become unmentionable It's called love And it belongs to every one of us It's called love And it cuts your life like a broken knife Oh love, love, love, love, love It's called love and belongs to us It's called love, love, love, love, love It's called love and it belongs to everyone but us If you find some error in the lyrics, would you please submit your corrections to me?
All the shadows and the pain Are coming to you All the shadows and the pain Are coming to you All the shadows and the pain Are coming to you All the shadows and the pain Are coming to you All the shadows and the pain Are coming to you All the shadows and the pain Are coming to you All the shadows and the pain Are coming to you
Anthony walked to his death because he thought he'd never feel this way again If he goes back to the house then things would go from bad to worse, what could he do? He wants to remember things exactly as he left them on that FUNNY DAY And if there is something else beyond, he isn't scared because It's bound to be less boring than today It's bound to be less boring than tomorrow
Hilary WENT to her death because she couldn't think of anything to say Everybody thought that she was boring, so they never listened anyway Nobody was really saying anything of interest, she fell asleep She was into S&M and bible studies Not everyone's cup of tea she would admit to me Her cup of tea, she would admit to no one Her cup of tea, she would admit to me Her cup of tea, she would admit to no one
Hilary went to the Catholic Church because she wanted information The vicar, or whatever, took her to one side and gave her confirmation Saint Theresa's calling her, the church up on the hill is looking lovely But it DIDN'T interest, the only things she wants to know is How and why and WHEN and WHERE to go How and why and WHEN and WHERE to follow How and why and WHEN and WHERE to go How and why and WHEN and WHERE to follow
But if you are feeling sinister Go off and see a minister He'll try in vain to take away the pain of being a hopeless unbeliever
When she got back, her spirituality was thrown into confusion So she got a special deal on renting From the man at Rediffusion "Look at me! I'm on TV It makes up for the shortcomings of being poor Now I'm in a million pieces", picked up for deliberation By the people listening at home By the people watching on the telly By the people listening at home By the people watching on the telly
But if you are feeling sinister Go off and see a minister He'll try in vain to take away the pain of being a hopeless unbeliever
But if you are feeling sinister Go off and see a minister Chances are you'll probably feel better If you stayed and played with yourself

I love his Vienna album especially.
BENEDICTUS (The Strawbs)
The wanderer has far to go
Humble must he constant be
Where the paths of wisdom
Distant is the shadow of the setting sun.
Bless the daytime, bless the night
Bless the sun which gives us light
Bless the thunder, bless the rain
Bless all those who cause us pain.
Yellow stars may lead the way
All diversions lead astray
While his resolution holds
Fortune and good will will surely follow him.
Bless the free man, bless the slave
Bless the hero in his grave
Bless the soldier, bless the saint
Bless all those whose hearts grow faint.
"All the world's a stage,"
A friend of mine, he sometimes said.
And though he tried to show the way,
They only care about his name.
"Love is for the fool,"
A blind old man, he always said.
But of its joys, he sometimes spoke
And then it seemed, he could see.
"Life is for the strong,"
A travelling monk, he told me once.
But of the weak, he never spoke,
though their cries beat on his ears.
I stood, my gun in hand.
The swallow flew to meet his love.
And as they touched, I shot him down--
But now it's me that can't fly.
If the rain comes they run and hide their heads.
They might as well be dead.
If the rain comes,
if the rain comes.
When the sun shines they slip into the shade
And sip their lemonade.
When the sun shines,
when the sun shines.
Rain,
I don't mind.
Shine,
the world looks fine.
I can show you that when it starts to rain,
Everything's the same.
I can show you,
I can show you.
Rain,
I don't mind.
Shine,
the world looks fine.
Can you hear me, that when it rains and shines,
It's just a state of mind?
Can you hear me,
can you hear me?
very good dependent origination video for those who care to watch
'Cause my mind was always someone else's mind
I never had to tell a lie
'Cause I left the choices up to them
Don't know why, but I did
Oh, I want life
Life wants me
To breathe in its love
Take me I'm yours
Now I'm coming up for air
I'm gonna live my time for the rest of my life
Then I'll be coming back for more
I never had to call the tune
'Cause I always drifted with the tide of the moon
I would go out every night
Looking for someone to treat me right
Not a chance, not a hope in this world (world)
Oh, I want life
Life wants me
To breathe in its love
Take me I'm yours (take me)
Now I'm coming up for air (I'm yours)
I'm gonna live my time for the rest of my life
Then I'll be coming back for more
Ooh, ooh
Take me I'm yours (take me)
Now I'm coming up for air (I'm yours)
I'm gonna live my time for the rest of my life
Then I'll be coming back for more
More
and they are still rocking, probably with no satisfaction
One!
Two!
One, two, three!
I was workin’ part-time in a 5-and-dime
My boss was Mr. McGee
He told me several times
That he didn't like my kind cuz I was a bit 2 leisurely
It seems that I was busy doin’ somethin’ close 2 nothin’
But different than the day before
That's when I saw her, ooh, I saw her
She walked in through the out door, out door
She wore a raspberry beret
The kind U’d find in a second hand store
Raspberry beret
If it was warm, she wouldn't wear much more
Raspberry beret
I think I love her
Built like she was, she had the nerve 2 ask m'once
If I planned 2 do her any harm
So looka here now, I put her on the back of my bike
And uh, we went ridin' down by Old Man Johnson's farm
I said now, overcast days never turned me on
But somethin’ ‘bout the clouds and her mixed
She-e-e-e wasn't 2 bright, but I could tell when she kissed me
She knew how 2 get her kicks
She wore a raspberry beret
Kind U’d find in a second hand store
Raspberry beret
If it was warm, she wouldn't wear much more
Raspberry beret
I think I love her
Rain sounds so cool when it hits the barn roof
And the horses wonder who U are
Thunder drowns out what the lightning sees
U feel like a movie star
They say the first time ain't the greatest
But I'll tell ya, if I had the chance 2 do it all again, oh
I wouldn't change a stroke Cuz baby, I'm the most
With a girl as fine as she was then
Whoo, oh...
Raspberry beret (Raspberry beret) Ow!
Kind U’d find in a second hand store (Kind U find, oh no no!)
Raspberry beret (Uh huh, uh)
If it was warm, she wouldn't wear much more
(Where have all the raspberry women gone?)
Raspberry beret (Ow!)
I think I, I think I love ya!
Thought Moments
I find you in the morning
After dreams of distant signs
You pour yourself over me
Like the sun through the blinds
You lift me up and get me out
Keep me walking but never shout
"Hold the secret close", I hear you say
You know the way it throws about.
It takes you in and spits you out
It spits you out when you desire
to conquer it, to feel you're higher
To follow it you must be clean,
with mistakes that you do mean
Move the heart, switch the pace
Look for what seems out of place
On and on it goes
Calling like a distant wind
Through the zero hour we'll walk
We'll cut the thick and break the thin
No sound to break, no moment clear
When all the doubts are crystal clear
Crashing hard into the secret wind
You know the way it twists and turns
Changing color, spinning yarns
You know the way it leaves you dry
It cuts you up, and takes you high
You know the way it's painted gold
Is it honey? Is it cold?
You know the way it throws about.
It takes you in and spits you out
Oh, cuts you up
Oh, cuts you up
Oh, cuts you up
La, la, la...
You know the way it throws about.
It takes you in and spits you out
It spits you out when you desire
to conquer it, to feel you're higher
To follow it you must be clean,
with mistakes that you do mean
Move the heart, switch the pace
Look for what seems out of place
Oh, cuts you up
Oh, cuts you up
It's okay it goes this way.
The line it twists, it twists away
Cuts you up and spits you out
Keeps you walking, but never shout
La la la...
The cleanest I've been
An end to the tears
And the in-between years
And the troubles I've seen
Now that I'm clean
You know what I mean
I've broken my fall
Put an end to it all
I've changed my routine
Now I'm clean
I don't understand
What destiny's planned
I'm starting to grasp
What is in my own hands
I don't claim to know
Where my holiness goes
I just know that I like
What is starting to show
Sometimes
Clean
The cleanest I've been
An end to the tears
And the in-between years
And the troubles I've seen
Now that I'm clean
You know what I mean
I've broken my fall
Put an end to it all
I've changed my routine
Now I'm clean
As years go by
All the feelings inside
Twist and they turn
As they ride with the tide
I don't advise
And I don't criticise
I just know what I like
With my own eyes
Sometimes
Clean
The cleanest I've been
An end to the tears
And the in-between years
And the troubles I've seen
Now that I'm clean
Sometimes
You know what I mean
I've broken my fall
Put an end to it all
I've changed my routine
Now I'm clean
Sometimes
Now I'm clean
The cleanest I've been
I would suggestion watching it without the annotations first.
Tears for Fears own Mad World
All around me are familiar faces
Worn out places, worn out faces
Bright and early for their daily races
Going nowhere, going nowhere
And their tears are filling up their glasses
No expression, no expression
Hide my head I want to drown my sorrow
No tomorrow, no tomorrow
And I find it kind of funny
I find it kind of sad
The dreams in which I'm dying
Are the best I've ever had
I find it hard to tell you
'Cos I find it hard to take
When people run in circles
It's a very, very mad world, mad world
Children waiting for the day they feel good
Happy Birthday, Happy Birthday
Made to feel the way that every child should
Sit and listen, sit and listen
Went to school and I was very nervous
No one knew me, no one knew me
Hello teacher tell me what's my lesson
Look right through me, look right through me
And I find it kind of funny
I find it kind of sad
The dreams in which I'm dying
Are the best I've ever had
I find it hard to tell you
'Cos I find it hard to take
When people run in circles
It's a very, very mad world
Mad world, mad world, mad world
Anew!

She wrote
"The key is in the window,

At the window-
The key is in the window,
The key is in the sunlight
At the window-
Get married Allen
Don't take drugs
Get married Allen
Don't take drugs
Don't take drugs
The key is in the bars,
In the sunlight
In the window.
Love,
Your mother
Which is
Naomi"
They are just phots after all
I can't make you hang around
I can't wash you off my skin
Outside the frame, is what we're leaving out
You won't remember anyway.
I can go with the flow
Don't say it doesn't matter anymore
I can go with the flow
And so on....
Every drop of rain that falls in Sahara Desert says it all

That's a miracle
Test tube babies being born
Mothers,fathers dead and gone

We're having a miracle on earth
Mother nature does it all for us
The wonders of this world go on

It's a miracle it's a miracle it's a miracle
It's a miracle
The one thing we're all waiting for is peace on earth - an end

If all God's people could be free to live in perfect harmony
It's a miracle
We're having a miracle on earth
Mother nature does it all for us
Open hearts and surgery
(wonders of this world go on)
Sunday mornings with a cup of tea
Super powers always fighting
But Mona Lisa just keeps on smiling
It's a miracle it's a miracle it's a miracle
(wonders of this world go on)
It's a miracle it's a miracle it's a miracle
It's a miracle
The one thing (the one thing) we're all waiting for (we're all

The miracle peace on earth and end to war today

But nevertheless you know you're locked towards the future
So on and on you go, the seconds tick the time out
There's so much left to know, and I'm on the road to findout
Then I found my head one day when I wasn't even trying
And here I have to say, 'cause there is no use in lying, lying
Yes the answer lies within, so why not take a look now?
Kick out the devil's sin, pick up, pick up the good book now
All that is, was and will be
Universe much too big to see
Time and space never ending
Disturbing thoughts, questions pending
Limitations of human understanding
Too quick to criticize
Obligation to survive
We hunger to be alive
(Twisting, turning, through the never)
All that is, ever
Ever was, will be, ever
Twisting, turning, through the never
In the dark, see past our eyes
Pursuit of truth no matter where it lies
Gazing up to the breeze of the heavens
On a quest, meaning, reason
Come to be, how it begun
All alone in the family of the sun
Curiosity teasing everyone
On our home, third stone from the sun
(Twisting, turning, through the never)
All that is, ever
Ever was, will be, ever
Twisting, turning, through the never
On through the never we must go
On through the never, out to the
Edge of forever we must go
On through the never, the never comes
(Twisting, turning, through the never)
All that is, ever
Ever was, will be, ever
Twisting, turning,
Who we are, ask forever
Twisting, turning, through the never
Never!
Nick Drake
The tramp moves on to the end of the street
I listen to the echo of his hobnail feet
For some there's a future to find
But I think they're leaving me behind.
The world humes on at its breakneck pace
People fly in their lifelong race
For them there's a future to find
But I think they're leaving me behind.
The chances they come, but the chances have been lost
Success can be gained, but at too great a cost
For some there's a future to find
But I think they're leaving me behind.
The wind sweeps up and goes back to its tree
The rain flows by and moves on to the sea
For them there's a future to find
But I think they're leaving me behind.
It's always the same
I've studied the cracks and the wrinkles
You were always so vain
Well, now you live your life like a shadow
In the pouring rain
Oh, it's called love
Yes, it's called love
Oh, it's called love
And it belongs to us
Oh, it dies so quickly
It grows so slowly
But when it dies, it dies for good
It's called love and it belongs to everyone but us
I've lived my life in the valleys
I've lived my life on the hills
I've lived my life on alcohol
I've lived my life on pills
But it's called love
And it belongs to us
It's called love
And it's the only thing that's worth living for
It's called love
And it belongs to us
It's called love
Yes it's called love
Oh, love is found in the east and west
When love is at home, it's the best
Love is the cure for every evil
Love is the air that supports the eagle
It's called love
And it's so uncool
It's called love
And somehow it's become unmentionable
It's called love
And it belongs to every one of us
It's called love
And it cuts your life like a broken knife
Oh love, love, love, love, love
It's called love and belongs to us
It's called love, love, love, love, love
It's called love and it belongs to everyone but us

Nothing Lasts Forever Lyrics
Artist(Band):Echo & The Bunnymen
I want it now
I want it now
Not the promises of what tomorrow brings
I need to live in dreams today
I'm tired of the song that sorrow sings
And I want more than I can get
Just trying to, trying to, trying to forget
I'd walk to you through rings of fire
And never let you know the way I feel
Under skin is where I hide
The love that always gets me on my knees
And I want more than I can get
Just trying to, trying to, trying to forget
Nothing ever lasts forever
Nothing ever lasts forever
Nothing ever lasts forever
Nothing ever lasts forever
I want it now
I want it now
Don't tell me that my ship is coming in
Nothing comes to those who wait
Time's running out the door you're running in
So, I want more than I can get
Just trying to, trying to, trying to forget
Nothing ever lasts forever
Nothing ever lasts forever
Nothing ever lasts forever
Nothing ever lasts forever
All the shadows and the pain
Are coming to you
All the shadows and the pain
Are coming to you
All the shadows and the pain
Are coming to you
All the shadows and the pain
Are coming to you
All the shadows and the pain
Are coming to you
All the shadows and the pain
Are coming to you
All the shadows and the pain
Are coming to you
Anthony walked to his death because he thought he'd never feel this way again
If he goes back to the house then things would go from bad to worse, what could he do?
He wants to remember things exactly as he left them on that FUNNY DAY
And if there is something else beyond, he isn't scared because
It's bound to be less boring than today
It's bound to be less boring than tomorrow
Hilary WENT to her death because she couldn't think of anything to say
Everybody thought that she was boring, so they never listened anyway
Nobody was really saying anything of interest, she fell asleep
She was into S&M and bible studies
Not everyone's cup of tea she would admit to me
Her cup of tea, she would admit to no one
Her cup of tea, she would admit to me
Her cup of tea, she would admit to no one
Hilary went to the Catholic Church because she wanted information
The vicar, or whatever, took her to one side and gave her confirmation
Saint Theresa's calling her, the church up on the hill is looking lovely
But it DIDN'T interest, the only things she wants to know is
How and why and WHEN and WHERE to go
How and why and WHEN and WHERE to follow
How and why and WHEN and WHERE to go
How and why and WHEN and WHERE to follow
But if you are feeling sinister
Go off and see a minister
He'll try in vain to take away the pain of being a hopeless unbeliever
When she got back, her spirituality was thrown into confusion
So she got a special deal on renting
From the man at Rediffusion
"Look at me! I'm on TV
It makes up for the shortcomings of being poor
Now I'm in a million pieces", picked up for deliberation
By the people listening at home
By the people watching on the telly
By the people listening at home
By the people watching on the telly
But if you are feeling sinister
Go off and see a minister
He'll try in vain to take away the pain of being a hopeless unbeliever
But if you are feeling sinister
Go off and see a minister
Chances are you'll probably feel better
If you stayed and played with yourself
