City Of New Orleans by Arlo Guthrie
Riding on the City of New Orleans
Illinois Central Monday morning rail
Fifteen cars and fifteen restless riders
Three conductors and twenty-five sacks of mail
All along the southbound Odyssey
The train pulls out of Kankakee
Rolls along past houses, farms and fields
Passin' trains that have no name
Freight yards full of old black men
And the graveyards of the rusted automobiles
Good morning, America
How are ya?
Said don't you know me?
I'm your native son
I'm the train they call the City of New Orleans
I'll be gone five hundred miles when the day is done
Dealin' card games with the old men in the club car
Penny a point ain't no one keepin' score
Pass the paper bag that holds the bottle
You can feel the wheels rumblin' 'neath the floor
And the sons of Pullman porters
And the sons of engineers
Ride their father's magic carpets made of steel
Mothers with their babes asleep
Rocking to the gentle beat
And the rhythm of the rails is all they feel
Good morning, America
How are ya?
Said don't you know me?
I'm your native son
I'm the train they call the City of New Orleans
I'll be gone five hundred miles when the day is done
Night time on the City of New Orleans
Changing cars in Memphis, Tennessee
Half way home and we'll be there by mornin'
Through the Mississippi darkness
Rollin' down to the sea
But all the towns and people seem
To fade into a bad dream
Thank the steel rail still ain't heard the news
The conductor sings his songs again
The passengers will please refrain
This train's got the disappearin' railroad blues
Good night, America
How are ya?
Said don't you know me?
I'm your native son
I'm the train they call the City of New Orleans
I'll be gone five hundred miles when the day is done

Song: Down In A Hole
Rating: PG-13
Bury me softly in this womb
I give this part of me for you
Sand rains down and here I sit
Holding rare flowers in a tomb... in bloom
Down in a hole and I don't know if I can be saved
See my heart I decorate it like a grave
You don't understand who they thought I was supposed to be
Look at me now a man who won't let himself be
Down in a hole, feeling so small
Down in a hole, losin' my soul
I'd like to fly,
But my wings have been so denied
Down in a hole and they've put all the stones in their place
I've eaten the sun so my tongue has been burned of the taste
I have been guilty of kicking myself in the teeth
I will speak no more of my feelings beneath
Down in a hole, feeling so small
Down in a hole, losin' my soul
I'd like to fly,
But my wings have been so denied
Bury me softly in this womb (Oh I want to be inside of you)
I give this part of me for you (Oh I want to be inside of you)
Sand rains down and here I sit (Oh I want to be inside of you)
Holding rare flowers in a tomb... in bloom (Oh I want to be inside)
Down in a hole, feelin' so small
Down in a hole, losin' my soul
Down in a hole, feelin' so small
Down in a hole, out of control
I'd like to fly,
But my wings have been so denied

Signs Of Destiny by Anggun
I think I feel my heart is going to stop
I feel my body is about to drop
I have just met you
How strange it feels now that youÂ’re finally here
Maybe IÂ’m dreaming but you look so real
Now let me tell you
I made a picture of you in my mind
And a name that I can call
Before I take another step to go
I just need to know
If this is destiny
Stop the mystery
IÂ’m looking for a shelter
In your heart
Is there a place for me?
Stop the mystery
I know that we are meant to be
Together
Believe in destiny
The only mystery
I finally found a missing piece
Of my heart
IÂ’m trying to make you see
Signs of destiny
IÂ’m looking for a shelter
In your heart
A place for me to be
Now you might think that this is so insane
I donÂ’t believe that loveÂ’s the one to blame
Love is innocent
I know youÂ’re out there somewhere in this world
IÂ’ve sensed your presence
In every second and I
Knew you were waiting too
I made a picture of you in my mind
And a name that I can call
Before I take another step to go
I just need to know
If this is destiny
Stop the mystery
IÂ’m looking for a shelter
In your heart
Is there a place for me?
Stop the mystery
I know that we are meant to be
Together
IÂ’m looking for a shelter
In your heart
Is there a place for me?
I know that we are meant to be
Together
Believe in destiny
Oooh ooh
IÂ’m trying to make you see
The signs of destiny
IÂ’m trying to make you see
Oooh ooh
The signs of destiny

And I feel that time's a wasted go
So where ya going to tomorrow?
And I see that these are lies to come
Would you even care?
And I feel it
And I feel it
Where ya going for tomorrow?
Where ya going with that mask I found?
And I feel, and I feel
When the dogs begin to smell her
Will she smell alone?
And I feel, so much depends on the weather
So is it raining in your bedroom?
And I see, that these are the eyes of disarray
Would you even care?
And I feel it
And she feels it
Where ya going to tomorrow?
Where ya going with that mask I found?
And I feel, and I feel
When the dogs begin to smell her
Will she smell alone?
When the dogs do find her
Got time, time, to wait for tomorrow
To find it, to find it, to find it
When the dogs do find her
Got time, time, to wait for tomorrow
To find it, to find it, to find it
To find it
To find it
To find it

The Ballad of Peter Pumpkinhead by Crash Test Dummies
Let's begin!
Peter Pumpkinhead came to town
Spreading wisdom and cash around
Fed the starving and housed the poor
Showed the Vatican what gold's for
But he made too many enemies
Of the people who would keep us on our knees
Hooray for Peter Pumpkin!
Who'll pray for Peter Pumpkinhead?
Peter Pumpkinhead brought to shame
Governments who would slur his name
Plots and sex scandals failed outright
Peter merely said, "Any kind of love is all right"
But he made too many enemies
Of the people who would keep us on our knees
Hooray for Peter Pumpkin!
Hooray!
Who'll pray for Peter Pumpkinhead?
Peter Pumpkinhead was too good
Had him nailed to a chunk of wood
He died grinning on live TV
Hanging there he looked a lot like you, and an awful lot like me!
But he made too many enemies
Of the people who would keep us on our knees
Hooray for Peter Pumpkin!
Who'll pray for Peter Pumpkinhead?
Hooray for Peter Pumpkin!
Hooray!
Who'll pray for Peter Pumpkin?
Hooray for Peter Pumpkinhead!
Oh my, oh my, don't it make you want to cry, oh

Here's a thinking set of lyrics for ya
Joe Walsh's The Confessor
“The Confessor” by Joe Walsh
If you look at your reflection in the bottom of a well,
What you see is only on the surface.
When you try to see the meaning hidden underneath,
The measure of the depth can be deceiving.
The bottom has a rocky reputation.
You can feel it in the distance, the deeper down you stare.
From up above it's hard to see but you know it when you're there.
On the bottom words are shallow, on the surface talk is cheap.
You can only judge the distance by the company you keep.
In the eyes of the Confessor.

Welcome To My Life by Simple Plan
Do you ever feel like breaking down?
Do you ever feel out of place,
Like somehow you just donÂ’t belong,
And no one understands you?
Do you ever want to run away?
Do you lock yourself in your room?
With your radio on turned up so loud,
That no one hears you screaming?
No, you donÂ’t know what itÂ’s like,
When nothing feels alright,
You donÂ’t know what itÂ’s like,
To be like me ...
To be hurt, to feel lost,
To be left out in the dark,
To be kicked, when youÂ’re down,
To feel like youÂ’ve been pushed around,
To be on the edge of breaking down,
When no oneÂ’s there to save you,
No you donÂ’t know what itÂ’s like ...
Welcome to my life
Do you want to be somebody else?
Are you sick of feeling so left out?
Are you desperate to find something more,
Before your life is over?
Are you stuck inside a world you hate?
Are you sick of everyone around?
With the big fake smiles and stupid lies,
While deep inside youÂ’re bleeding?
No you donÂ’t know what itÂ’s like,
When nothing feels alright,
You donÂ’t know what itÂ’s like,
To be like me ...
To be hurt, to feel lost,
To be left out in the dark,
To be kicked, when youÂ’re down,
To feel like youÂ’ve been pushed around,
To be on the edge of breaking down,
When no oneÂ’s there to save you,
No you donÂ’t know what itÂ’s like ...
Welcome to my life
No one ever lies straight to your face
No one ever stabs you in the back
You might think IÂ’m happy,
But IÂ’m not gonna be okay
Everybody always gave you what you wanted
You never had to work, it was always there
You donÂ’t know what itÂ’s like (what itÂ’s like) Â…
To be hurt, to feel lost,
To be left out in the dark,
To be kicked, when youÂ’re down,
To feel like youÂ’ve been pushed around,
To be on the edge of breaking down,
When no oneÂ’s there to save you,
No you donÂ’t know what itÂ’s like ...
To be hurt, to feel lost,
To be left out in the dark,
To be kicked, when youÂ’re down,
To feel like youÂ’ve been pushed around,
To be on the edge of breaking down,
When no oneÂ’s there to save you,
No you donÂ’t know what itÂ’s like ...
Welcome to my life
Welcome to my life
Welcome to my life

"Wonderful"
"Hey, ain't life wonderful? Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful... Isn't it wonderful now?"
I close my eyes when I get too sad
I think thoughts that I know are bad
Close my eyes and I count to ten
Hope it's over when I open them
I want the things that I had before
Like a Star Wars poster on my bedroom door
I wish I could count to ten
Make everything be wonderful again
Hope my mom and I hope my dad
Will figure out why they get so mad
Hear them scream, I hear them fight
They say bad words that make me wanna cry
Close my eyes when I go to bed
And I dream of angels who make me smile
I feel better when I hear them say
Everything will be wonderful someday
Promises mean everything when you're little
And the world's so big
I just don't understand how
You can smile with all those tears in your eyes
Tell me everything is wonderful now
Please don't tell me everything is wonderful now
I go to school and I run and play
I tell the kids that it's all okay
I laugh aloud so my friends won't know
When the bell rings I just don't wanna go home
Go to my room and I close my eyes
I make believe that I have a new life
I don't believe you when you say
Everything will be wonderful someday
Promises mean everything when you're little
And the world is so big
I just don't understand how
You can smile with all those tears in your eyes
When you tell me everything is wonderful now
No
No, I don't wanna hear you tell me everything is wonderful now
No
No, I don't wanna hear you tell me everything is wonderful now
I don't wanna hear you say
That I will understand someday
No, no, no, no
I don't wanna hear you say
You both have grown in a different way
No, no, no, no
I don't wanna meet your friends
And I don't wanna start over again
I just want my life to be the same
Just like it used to be
Some days I hate everything
I hate everything
Everyone and everything
Please don't tell me everything is wonderful now...

Angels Or Devils by Dishwalla
Music: Dishwalla and G. Wattenberg
Lyrics: JR
this is the last time
that I'm ever gonna come here tonight
this is the last time - I will fall
into a place that fails us all - inside
I can see the pain in you
I can see the love in you
but fighting all the demons will take time
it will take time
the angels they burn inside for us
are we ever
are we ever gonna learn to fly
the devils they burn inside of us
are we ever gonna come back down
come around
I'm always gonna worry about the things that could make us cold
this is the last time
that I'm ever gonna give in tonight
are there angels or devils crawling here?
I just want to know what blurs and what is clear - to see
still I can see the pain in you
and I can see the love in you
and fighting all the demons will take time
it will take time
the angels they burn inside for us
are we ever
are we ever gonna learn to fly
the devils they burn inside of us
are we ever gonna come back down - come around
I'm always gonna worry about the things that could break us
if I was to give in - give it up
- and then
take a breath - make it deep
cause it might be the last one you get
be the last one
that could make us cold
you know that they could make us cold
I'm always gonna worry about the things that could make us cold
