[QUOTE="Floyd, post: 459, member: 1"] [B]Circumstances[/B] Words by neil peart, music by geddy lee and alex lifeson A boy alone, and so far from home Endless rooftops from my window I felt the gloom of empty rooms On rainy afternoons Sometimes, in confusion I felt so lost and disillusioned Innocence gave me confidence To go up against reality All the same We take our chances Laughed at by time Tricked by circumstances Plus ça change Plus c'est la même chose The more that things change The more they stay the same Now I've gained some understanding Of the only world that we see Things that I once dreamed of Have become reality These walls that still surround me Still contain the same old me Just one more who's searching for A world that ought to be [B]The Trees[/B] Words by neil peart, music by geddy lee and alex lifeson There is unrest in the forest There is trouble with the trees For the maples want more sunligh And the oaks ignore their pleas The trouble with the maples (and they're quite convinced they're right) They say the oaks are just too lofty And they grab up all the light But the oaks can't help their feelings If they like the way they're made And they wonder why the maples Can't be happy in their shade? There is trouble in the forest And the creatures all have fled As the maples scream `oppression!` And the oaks, just shake their heads So the maples formed a union And demanded equal rights 'the oaks are just too greedy We will make them give us light' Now there's no more oak oppression For they passed a noble law And the trees are all kept equal By hatchet, Axe, And saw ... [B]La Villa Strangiato[/B] (an exercise in self-indulgence) Music by geddy lee, alex lifeson, and neil peart Instrumental I. buenas noches, mein froinds! Ii. to sleep, perchance to dream ... Iii. strangiato theme Iv. a lerxst in wonderland V. monsters! Vi. danforth and pape Vii. the waltz of the shreves Viii. never turn your back on a monster! Ix. monsters! (reprise) X. strangiato theme (reprise) Xi. a farewell to things [/QUOTE]
