[QUOTE="Floyd, post: 725, member: 1"] [B]Don't Cry No Tears[/B] Don't cry no tears around me Don't cry no tears around me 'cause when all the water's gone The feeling lingers on Old true love ain't too hard to see Don't cry no tears around me. Well I wonder who's with her tonight? And I wonder who's holding her tight? But there's nothing I can say To make him go away Old true love ain't too hard to see Don't cry no tears around me. There's nothing I can say To make him go away Old true love ain't too hard to see Don't cry no tears around me Don't cry no tears around me. [B]Danger Bird[/B] Danger bird, he flies alone And he rides the wind back to his home Although his wings have turned to stone And we used to be so calm Now I think about you all day long that's the moment that he cracked 'cause you've been with another man long ago in the museum with his friends. Here you are and here I am. The jailbird takes the raps And he finds himself spread-eagled on the tracks But the training that he learned will get him nowhere fast. And I know we should be free (with the rain pounding on his back he recalls) But freedom's just a prison to me (the moment that he cracked long ago in the museum) 'cause I lied to keep it kind (with his friends) When I left you far behind. (and like those memories the rain keeps pounding) Down, down, down And though these wings have turned to stone I can fly fly fly away. Watch me fly above the city Like a shadow on the sky. Fly, fly, fly. [B]Pardon My Heart[/B] It's a fallen situation When all eyes are turned in And a love isn't flowing The way it could have been. You brought it all on Oh, but it feels so wrong You brought it all on No, no, no, I don't believe this song You brought it all on. It's a sad communication With little reason to believe When one isn't giving And one pretends to receive. You brought it all on Oh, but it feels so wrong You brought it all on No, no, no, I don't believe this song You brought it all on. Pardon my heart If I showed that I cared But I love you more than moments We have or have not shared. You brought it all on Oh, and it feels so good You brought it all on When love flows the way that it should You brought it all on. It feels so good It feels so good You feel good. [B]Lookin' For A Love[/B] I've been looking for a lover But I haven't met her yet She'll be nothing like I pictured her to be In her eyes I will discover Another reason why I want to live and make the best of what I see. Where the sun hits the water And the mountains meet the sand There's a beach that I walk along sometimes And maybe there I'll meet her And we'll start to say 'hello' And never stop to think of any other time. Looking' for a love that's right for me I don't know how long it's going to be But I hope I treat her kind And don't mess with her mind When she starts to see the darker side of me. Looking' for a love that's right for me I don't know how long it's going to be But I hope I treat her kind And don't mess with her mind When she starts to see the darker side of me. I've been looking for a lover But I haven't met her yet She'll be nothing like I pictured her to be In her eyes I will discover Another reason why I want to live and make the best of what I see. [B]Barstool Blues[/B] If I could hold on to just one thought For long enough to know Why my mind is moving so fast And the conversation is slow. Burn off all the fog And let the sun through to the snow Let me see your face again Before I have to go. I have seen you in the movies And in those magazines at night I saw you on the barstool when You held that glass so tight. And I saw you in my nightmares But I'll see you in my dreams And I might live a thousand years Before I know what that means. Once there was a friend of mine Who died a thousand deaths His life was filled with parasites And countless idle threats. He trusted in a woman And on her he made his bets Once there was a friend of mine Who died a thousand deaths. [B]Stupid Girl[/B] You're just a stupid girl You really got a lot to learn Start living again Forget about remembering You're such a stupid girl. You're such a beautiful fish Floppin' on the summer sand Lookin' for the wave you missed When another one is close at hand You're such a stupid girl. You're such a stupid girl. I saw you in mercedes benz Practicing self-defense You got it pretty good I guess I couldn't see your eyes You're really stupid, girl. You're such a stupid girl. [B]Drive Back[/B] Whatever gets you through the night That's all right with me When it's time to say goodbye I have to make you see You won't know me I won't call you I won't be there To remind you What you told me When I showed you In the morning Let me know you'll Drive back to your old town I wanna wake up with no-one around Drive back to your old town. If somebody Is haunting your mind Look in my eyes Let me hide you From yourself and All your old friends Every good thing Comes to an end. Drive back, drive back, drive back. Drive back to your old town I wanna wake up with no-one around Drive back to your old town. [B]Cortez The Killer[/B] He came dancing across the water With his galleons and guns Looking for the new world In that palace in the sun. On the shore lay montezuma With his coca leaves and pearls In his halls he often wondered With the secrets of the worlds. And his subjects gathered 'round him Like the leaves around a tree In their clothes of many colors For the angry gods to see. And the women all were beautiful And the men stood straight and strong They offered life in sacrifice So that others could go on. Hate was just a legend And war was never known The people worked together And they lifted many stones. They carried them to the flatlands And they died along the way But they built up with their bare hands What we still can't do today. And I know she's living there And she loves me to this day I still can't remember when Or how I lost my way. He came dancing across the water Cortez, cortez What a killer. [B]Through My Sails[/B] Still glaring from the city lights Into paradise I soared Unable to come down For reasons I'd ignored. Total confusion, Disillusion New things I'm knowin'. I'm standing on the shoreline It's so fine out there Leaving with the wind blowing But love takes care. Know me, know me Show me, show me New things I'm knowin'. Wind blowing through my sails It feels like I'm gone Leaving with the wind blowing Through my sails. [/QUOTE]
