I know some songs that remind me of ADHD.
Here is one (Warning, I have 5 on my mind) Do you have
any?

HYPERACTIVE – Thomas Dolby

At the tender age of three
I was hooked to a machine
Just to keep my mouth from spouting junk
Must have took me for a fool
When they chucked me out of school
'Cause the teacher knew I had the funk
But tonight I'm on the edge -
Better shut me in the fridge
'Cause I'm burning up (I'm burning up)
With the vision in my brain
And the dirty rhythm in my blood

They are messing with my heart
And they're messing with my heart
And they're messing with my heart
Won't stop messing with me
Ripping me apart !

Hyperactive: when I'm small
Hyperactive: now I'm grown
Hyperactive: and the night is young
And in a minute I'll blow

Semaphore out on the floor
Messages from outer space
Deep heat for the feet
And the rhythm of your heartbeat
'Cause the music of the street
It isn't any rapattack
It isn't any rapattack

I can reach into your homes
Like an itch in your headphones
You can't turn it up
I'm the shape in your back room
I'm the breather on the phone
And I'm burning up
But there's one thing I must say
Before they lock me up again -
You'd be safer at the back
When I'm having an attack!

Hyperactive: when I'm small
Hyperactive: now I'm tall
Hyperactive: as the day is long
Hyperactive: in my bones
Hyperactive: in your phones
Hyperactive: and the night is young
Hyperactive : when I'm small
Hyperactive: now I'm grown
Hyperactivfe: 'til I'm dead and gone

Stand up : hyperactivate!
Get up: hyperactivate!
Wise up: hyperactivate!
London: hyperactivate!

Senses Working Overtime – XTC

Hey, hey,
The clouds are whey.
There’s straw for the donkeys,
And the innocents can all sleep safely,
All sleep safely.

My, my,
Sun is pie.
There’s fodder for the cannons,
And the guilty ones can all sleep safely,
All sleep safely.

And all the world is football-shaped
It’s just for me to kick in space
And I can see, hear, smell, touch, taste
And I’ve got one, two, three, four, five
Senses working overtime
Trying to take this all in.
I’ve got one, two, three, four, five
Senses working overtime
Trying to taste the difference
’tween a lemon and a lime
Pain and the pleasure
And the church bells softly chime.

Hey hey,
Night fights day.
There’s food for the thinkers,
And the innocents can all live slowly,
All live slowly.
My, my,
The sky will cry
Jewels for the thirsty,
And the guilty one’s can all die slowly ,
All die slowly.

And all the world is biscuit-shaped,
It’s just for me to feed my face,
And I can see, hear, smell, touch, taste,
And I’ve got one, two, three, four, five,
Senses working overtime
Trying to take this all in.
I’ve got one, two, three, four, five,
Senses working overtime
Trying to taste the difference,
’tween a lemon and a lime,
Pain and the pleasure,
And the church bells softly chime,

And birds might fall from black skies,
And bullies might give you black eyes,
But to me it’s very, very beautiful ¡¦
(england’s glory!)
Beautiful ¡¦
(a striking beauty!)

And all the world is football-shaped,
It’s just for me to kick in space,
And I can see, hear, smell, touch, taste,
And I’ve got one, two, three, four, five,
Senses working overtime
Trying to take this all in
I’ve got one, two, three, four, five
Senses working overtime
Trying to tell the difference
’tween the goods and grime
Turds and treasure
And there’s one, two, three, four, five
Senses working overtime
Trying to take this all in
I’ve got one, two, three, four, five
Senses working overtime
Trying to taste the difference
’tween a lemon and a lime
Pain and the pleasure,
And the church bells softly chime.

Bouncing Around The Room- phish

The woman was a dream I had
Though rather hard to keep
for when my eyes were watching hers
They closed,
And I was still asleep.

For when my hand was holding hers
She whispered words and I awoke
And faintly bouncing around the room
The echo of whomever spoke
I awoke and faintly bouncing round the room
the echo of whomever spoke.

The place I saw was far beneath
The surface of the sea
My sight was poor
But I was sure
The sirens sang their songs for me
They dance above me as I sink
I see them through a crystal haze
And hear them bouncing round the room
the never ending coral maze

That time and once again I'm bouncing around the room


-Ok, Can anyone think of others??

Foo Fighters "This is a call"


This Is A Call
visiting is pretty
visiting is good
seems that all they ever wanted was a brother
this can be a secret
we can keep it good
even all the ever wanting had a problem

this is a call to all my
past resignations
this is a call to all

fingernails are pretty
fingernails are good
seems that all they ever wanted was a marking

them balloons are pretty big
and say they should
ever fall to ground
call the magic marker

this is a call to all my
past resignations
this is a call to all
this is a call to all my
past resignatoins
it's been too long

minicyn is pretty
minicyn is good
seems that all the cysts and mollusks tend to barter

ritalin is easy
ritalin is good
even all the ones that watered down the daughter

This is one is an adhd song, emphasis on the H! Read this one quickly!

It’s The End Of The World As We Know It (And I Feel Fine) by REM
(Lyrics source: One of Stipe's concert lyric sheets)

That’s great, it starts with an earthquake, birds and snakes, an aeroplane -
Lenny Bruce is not afraid. Eye of a hurricane, listen to yourself churn -
world serves its own needs, don’t misserve your own needs. Feed it up a knock,
speed, grunt no, strength no. Ladder structure clatter with fear of height,
down height. Wire in a fire, represent the seven games in a government for
hire and a combat site. Left her, wasn’t coming in a hurry with the furies
breathing down your neck. Team by team reporters baffled, trump, tethered
crop. Look at that low plane! Fine then. Uh oh, overflow, population,
common group, but it’ll do. Save yourself, serve yourself. World serves its
own needs, listen to your heart bleed. Tell me with the rapture and the
reverent in the right - right. You vitriolic, patriotic, slam, fight, bright
light, feeling pretty psyched.


It’s the end of the world as we know it.
It’s the end of the world as we know it.
It’s the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine.


Six o’clock - TV hour. Don’t get caught in foreign tower. Slash and burn,
return, listen to yourself churn. Lock him in uniform and book burning,
blood letting. Every motive escalate. Automotive incinerate. Light a candle,
light a motive. Step down, step down. Watch a heel crush, crush. Uh oh,
this means no fear - cavalier. Renegade and steer clear! A tournament,
a tournament, a tournament of lies. Offer me solutions, offer me alternatives
and I decline.


It’s the end of the world as we know it.
It’s the end of the world as we know it.
It’s the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine.


The other night I tripped a nice continental drift divide. Mountains sit in a line.
Leonard Bernstein. Leonid Breshnev, Lenny Bruce and Lester Bangs.
Birthday party, cheesecake, jelly bean, boom! You symbiotic, patriotic,
slam, but neck, right? Right.


It’s the end of the world as we know it.
It’s the end of the world as we know it.
It’s the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine...fine...


(It’s time I had some time alone)

OK -- stalled thread....

A few I can think of off hand (may be dating myself, but....)

"The Great Curve" by TalkingHeads

"King of the World" by Steely Dan

"Bodisattva" by Steely Dan

The music is hyper, the words fairly irrelevant....

Ken (for now)

single verse from Staind song, "Epiphany"

'Cause it's always raining in my head

Sort of reminds me of hyperactivity, Billy Joel's "We Didn't Start The Fire"...

On the subject of Hyperfocusing, specifically on a desired partner, two good songs are "#1 Crush" by Garbage and Obsession by Animotion. (Also two of my favourite songs).

Okay Girls, this one is for you

Juanita by Shania Twain

She is the restless river
running through my veins
She rides without the reins-
her name's Juanita
She lives in the heart of every
woman in the world
Within the reach of every girl
who wants to meet her

(She's gonna be ridin' through"
Her name's Juanita
(She's gonna be ridin' free) She's ridin' free
(She's gonna be inside of you, gonna be
inside of me) She's inside of you
and inside of me, yeah

Chorus
Oh, go with her-flow with her
Dream with her-scream with her
Let her take over, or just get to know her
Be everything you can be
If you can find her and free her
Juanita will unchain your heart

When someone tries to take
away the freedom of your choice
To take away your voice-
that's when you need her
She's there if you dare to give
your broken wings a try
C'mon and take a leap and fly,
and you can be her

(She's gonna be ridin' through) Oh, Juanita
(She's gonna be ridin' free) Ridin' free
(She's gonna be part of you, gonna be a
part of me) She's a part of you and a part of me, yeah

Oh, go with her-flow with her
Dream with her-scream with her
Let her take over, or just get to know her
Be everything you can be

Love it, Bunny!!!

Here's another song...


FRIDAY I'M IN LOVE - THE CURE

I don't care if Monday's blue
Tuesday's grey and Wednesday too
Thursday i don't care about you
It's friday i'm in love

Monday you can fall apart
Tuesday Wednesday break my heart
Thursday doesn't even start
It's friday i'm in love

Saturday wait
And Sunday always comes too late
But Friday never hesitate...

I don't care if Monday's black
Tuesday Wednesday heart attack
Thursday never looking back
It's Friday i'm in love

Monday you can hold your head
Tuesday Wednesday stay in bed
Or Thursday watch the walls instead
It's Friday i'm in love

Saturday wait
And Sunday always comes too late
But Friday never hesitate...

Dressed up to the eyes
It's a wonderful surprise
To see your shoes and your spirits rise
Throwing out your frown
And just smiling at the sound
And as sleek as a shriek
Spinning round and round
Always take a big bite
It's such a gorgeous sight
To see you in the middle of the night
You can never get enough
Enough of this stuff
It's friday
I'm in love

For some reason the Offspring are coming to mind, many songs being similar topics or comorbid condition songs, maybe...

Self Esteem
She's Got Issues
The Kids Aren't All Right

Not perfect matches though... I am very disappointed for some reason that I don't have an automatic answer to this thread, other than "Hyperactive" above, which I always loved as a kid...

Part of the chorus from Great Big Sea's "Boston & St. John's":

I'm a rover and I'm bound to sail away,
I'm a rover. Can you love me anyway?

Like The Weather - Ten thousand Maniacs

The color of the sky as far as I can see is coal grey.
Lift my head from the pillow and then fall again.
With a shiver in my bones just thinking about the weather.
A quiver in my lips as if I might cry.

Well by the force of will my lungs are filled and so I breathe.
Lately it seems this big bed is where I never leave.
Shiver in my bones just thinking about the weather.
Quiver in my voice as I cry,

";What a cold and rainy day. Where on earth is the sun hid away.";

I hear the sound of a noon bell chime.
Now I'm far behind.
You've put in 'bout half a day
while here I lie
with a shiver in my bones just thinking about the weather.
A quiver in my lip as if I might cry,

";What a cold and rainy day. Where on earth is the sun hid away?";

Do I need someone here to scold me
or do I need someone who'll grab and pull me out of this four poster dull torpor pulling downward.
For it is such a long time since my better days.
I say my prayers nightly this will pass away.

The color of the sky is grey as I can see through the blinds.
Lift my head from the pillow and then fall again
with a shiver in my bones just thinking about the weather.
A quiver in my voice as I cry,

";What a cold and rainy day. Where on earth is the sun hid away?";
I shiver, quiver, and try to wake.

This song is totally me. Maybe some of you ADD girls can relate.

-Diane



Grey Street
Dave Matthews Band

Oh look at how she listens
She says nothing of what she thinks
She just goes stumbling through her memories
Staring out on to Grey Street

She thinks, “Hey,
How did I come to this?
I dream myself a thousand times around the world,
But I can’t get out of this place”

There’s an emptiness inside her
And she’d do anything to fill it in
But all the colors mix together - to grey
And it breaks her heart

How she wishes it was different
She prays to God most every night
And though she swears it doesn’t listen
There’s still a hope in her it might

She says, “I pray
But they fall on deaf ears,
Am I supposed to take it on myself?
To get out of this place”

There’s loneliness inside her
And she’d do anything to fill it in
And though it’s red blood bleeding from her now
It feels like cold blue ice in her heart
When all the colors mix together - to grey
And it breaks her heart

There’s a stranger speaks outside her door
Says take what you can from your dreams
Make them as real as anything
It’d take the work out of the courage

But she says, “Please
There’s a crazy man that’s creeping outside my door,
I live on the corner of Grey Street and the end of the world”

There’s an emptiness inside her
And she’d do anything to fill it in
And though it’s red blood bleeding from her now
It’s more like cold blue ice in her heart
She feels like kicking out all the windows
And setting fire to this life
She could change everything about her using colors bold and bright
But all the colors mix together - to grey
And it breaks her heart
It breaks her heart
To grey

Stone Temple Pilots - "Army Ants" from Purple album


you don't look but you kick me
you can't feel but you hit me
you can't live with the way I pray

why we all have to look this way
I gotta heart, I got blood, feel pain

time, time is not on my side
cause the way I am
gotta gotta now gotta find the reason why
a woman ain't a man

you don't look but you kick me
you can't feel but you hit me
you can't deal with the way I pray

why do you all have to think this way
I gotta heart, I got blood, feel pain

fall in those single file lines
like army ants
yeah, fall on into those single file lines
and complete the plan

Another one from STP...you really have to hear the songs (my previous post--Army Ants) to realize and feel why they're appropriate....for THIS ADDer, anyway. :)

Stone Temple Pilots - "Where The River Goes" from the Core album


Yeah, I could hide in the calm of the eye of the storm
And never blow away
Well, I'm a young man with a knife to my back
Some things never seem to change

Nowhere to run to, nowhere to hide
Sing the song or keep it inside
Bought the farm, but the farmer done died
Sing that song, sing that song inside

I wish I could live in the dream
that I fly on the tarred & freathered wings
Well, I'm losing a game of reality
dice where the dealer never ever pays

Nowhere to run to, nowhere to hide
Sing the song or keep it inside
Bought the farm, but the farmer done died
Sing that song, sing that song inside

I wanna be as big as a mountain
I wanna fly as high as the sun
I wanna know what the rent's like in heaven
I wanna know where the river goes

Yeah, I could hide in the calm of the eye of the storm
And never blow away
Well, I'm a young man with a knife to my back
Some things never seen to change

Nowhere to run to, nowhere to hide
Sing the song or keep it inside
Bought the farm, but the farmer done died
Sing that song, sing that song inside

I wanna be as big as a mountain
I wanna fly as high as the sun
I wanna know what the rent's like in heaven
I wanna know where the river goes

If I was stronger
I could be a mountain range
If night was longer
Could I escape the day?
If I was stronger
I could be a mountain range
If night was longer
Could I escape the day?

Nowhere to run to, nowhere to hide
Sing the song or keep it inside
Bought the farm, but the farmer done died
Sing that song, sing that song inside

I wanna be as big as a mountain
I wanna fly as high as the sun
I wanna know what the rent's like in heaven
I wanna know where the river...
I wanna be as big as a mountain
I wanna fly as high as the sun
I wanna know what the rent's like in heaven
I wanna know where the river goes
Where the river goes
Where the river goes
Where the river, yeah
Where the river
Where the river
Where the river
Where the river
Where the river goes
Where the river goes

Aha! Got one!

Styx - Too Much Time On My Hands

(for when nothing in your life is meeting your overwhelming need for stimulation...)

Sitting on this barstool talking like a damn fool
Got the twelve o'clock news blues
And I've given up hope on the afternoon soaps
And a bottle of cold brew
Is it any wonder I'm not crazy?
Is it any wonder I'm sane at all?

Well I'm so tired of losing
I got nothing to do and all day to do it

I go out cruisin' but I've no place to go
And all night to get there

Is it any wonder I'm not a criminal?
Is it any wonder I'm not in jail?
Is it any wonder I've got.....

Too much time on my hands
It's ticking away with my sanity
I've got too much time on my hands
It's hard to believe such a calamity
I've got too much time on my hands
And it's ticking away from me

Too much time on my hands
Too much time on my hands
Too much time on my hands

Well, I'm a jet fuel genius
I solve all the world's problems
Without even trying

I have dozens of friends
And the fun never ends
That is, as long as I'm buying

Is it any wonder I'm not the President?
Is it any wonder I'm null and void?
Is it any wonder I've got.....

Too much time on my hands
It's ticking away at my sanity
I've got too much time on my hands
It's hard to believe such a calamity
I've got too much time on my hands
And it's ticking away from me

Too much time on my hands
Too much time on my hands
Too much time on my hands.....

Garbage - Medication

I don't need an education
I learnt all I need from you
They got me on some medication
My point of balance was askew
It keeps my temperature from rising
My blood is pumping through my veins

Somebody get me out of here
I'm tearing at myself
Nobody gives a damn about me
Or anybody else

I wear myself out in the morning
You're asleep when I get home
Please don't call me self-defending
You know it cuts me to the bone
Though it's really not surprising
I hold a force I can't contain

Somebody get me out of here
I'm tearing at myself
Nobody gives a damn about me
Or anybody else

And still you call me codependent
Somehow you lay the blame on me
And still you call me codependent
Somehow you lay the blame on me

Somebody get me out of here
I'm tearing at myself
I've got to make a point these days
To extricate myself

Somebody get me out of here
I'm tearing at myself
Nobody gives a damn about me
Or anybody else

And still you call me codependent
Somehow you lay the blame on me

And still you call me codependent
Somehow you lay the blame on me
Somehow you lay the blame on me
Somehow you lay the blame on me...

Garbage - Soldier Through This

You work too hard
So when you come home to me
You are tired
And you don't wanna talk about it
You envy my drive
And how I am motivated

We'll go down to the park
Check out the carnival
For a while
And try to forget all about it
I'm out of control
And you don't appreciate it

Believe it, I need it
I feel intoxicated
I love it, I want it
Don't make me leave you for it

You say I have changed
Self-centered and vain
And you don't respect me for it
The world is the same
So I'll play the game
And you've grown to hate me for it

So we rearranged
There's no one to blame
But still you resent me for it
I call all the shots
I hold all the cards
And you feel emasculated

Believe it, I need it
I feel intoxicated
I love it, I want it
Don't make me leave you for it

Believe it, I need this
I feel intoxicated
I love it, I want it
Don't make me leave you for it

Believe it, I need this
I feel intoxicated
I love it, I want it
Don't make me leave you for it

How do we reconcile this?
How do we reconcile this?
How do we reconcile this?
How do we reconcile this?

A riddle to soldier through this
A riddle to soldier through this
A riddle to soldier through this
A riddle to soldier through this
A riddle to soldier through this

If only we could post the actually videos, wouldn't this be the coolest. Diane, I totally relate!! Awesome songs, all of you!!

Riddlin kids - Follow through
DEFINATLEY ADD

Hi all, If its possible can you print out the song, so we know the words? Thanks!

The only two I didn't post lyrics to were Garbage's #1 Crush, and Animotion's Obsession. I think they are both songs that describe the thrill and rush of hyperfocusing on another person. So here they are:

#1 Crush (by Garbage)

I would die for you
I would die for you
I've been dying just to feel you by my side
To know that you're mine

I will cry for you
I will cry for you
I will wash away your pain with all my tears
And drown your fear

I will pray for you
I will pray for you
I will sell my soul for something pure and true
Someone like you

See your face every place that I walk in
Hear your voice every time that I am talking
You will believe in me
And I will never be ignored

I will burn for you
Feel pain for you
I will twist the knife and bleed my aching heart
And tear it apart

I will lie for you
Beg and steal for you
I will crawl on hands and knees until you see
You're just like me

Violate all the love that I'm missing
Throw away all the pain that I'm living
You will believe in me
And I can never be ignored

I would die for you
I would kill for you
I will steal for you
I'd do time for you
I will wait for you
I'd make room for you
I'd sail ships for you
To be close to you
To be part of you
'Cause I believe in you
I believe in you
I would die for you

Obsession (by Animotion)

You are an obsession
I cannot sleep
My own possession unopened at your feet

There's no balance
No equality
Be still
I will not accept defeat

I will have you
Yes I will have you
I will find a way and I will have you
Like a butterfly
A wild butterfly
I will collect you and capture you

You are an obsession
You're my obsession
Who do you want me to be to make you sleep with me?
You are an obsession
You're my obsession
Who do you want me to be to make you sleep with me?

I feed you and clothe you by day and by night
I need you
I need you by sun and candle light.
You protest
You want to leave
Stay
Oh, there's no alternative

You see some beauty here
I see the beauty there
But I see danger
Stranger beware
Of circumstance
When you make your dreams
Your affection is not what it seems

You are an obsession
You're my obsession
Who do you want me to be to make you sleep with me?
You are an obsession
You're my obsession
Who do you want me to be to make you sleep with me?

My fantasy has turned to madness
And all my goodness has turned to badness
My need to possess you has consumed my soul
My life is trembling
I have no control

I will have you
Yes I will have you
I will find a way and I will have you.
Like a butterfly
A wild butterfly
I will collect you and capture you

You are an obsession
You're my obsession
Who do you want me to be to make you sleep with me?
You are an obsession
You're my obsession
Who do you want me to be to make you sleep with me?

You are an obsession
You're my obsession
Who do you want me to be to make you sleep with me?
You are an obsession
You're my obsession
Who do you want me to be to make you sleep with me?
You are an obsession
You're my obsession

Laid Lyrics
by James

This bed is on fire with passion and love
The neighbors complain about the noises above
But she only comes when she's on top

My therapist said not to see you no more
She said you're like a disease without any cure
She said I'm so obsessed that I'm becoming a bore, oh no

Ah you think you're so pretty (eeeeeeeeeeeee eeeeeeeeeeeeeee)

Caught your hand inside the till
Slammed your fingers in the door
Bought the kitchen knives and skewers
Dressed me up in womens clothes
Messed around with gender roles
Dye my eyes and call me pretty

Ah you think I'm so pretty (eeeeeeeeeeeee eeeeeeeeeeeeeee)

Moved out of the house so you moved next door
I locked you out you cut a hole in the wall
I found you sleeping next to me I thought I was alone
You're driving me crazy when are you coming home
Ah you think you're so pretty (eeeeeeeeeeeee eeeeeeeeeeeeeee)

Maybe harry nillson "everybodys talkin at me"

Joining You
By: Alanis Morissette

=====================

dear dar(lin') your mom (my friend) left a message on my machine she was frantic
saying you were talking crazy that you wanted to do away with yourself
I guess she thought i'd be a perfect resort because we've had this inexplicable connection since our youth and
yes they're in shock they are panicked you and your chronic them and their drama
you this embarrassment us in the middle of this delusion
if we were our bodies
if we were our futures
if we were our defenses i'd be joining you
if we were our culture
if we were our leaders
if we were our denials i'd be joining you
I remember vividly a day years ago we were camping you knew more than you thought you should know
you said "I don't want ever to be brainwashed" and you were mindboggling you were intense
you were uncomfortable in your own skin you were thirsty but mostly you were beautiful
if we were our nametags
if we were our rejections
if we were our outcomes i'd be joining you
if we were our indignities
if we were our successes
if we were our emotions i'd be joining you
you and I we're like 4 year olds we want to know why and how come about everything
we want to reveal ourselves at will and speak our minds and never talk small and be intuitive
and question mightily and find god my tortured beacon
we need to find like-minded companions
if we were their condemnations
if we were their projections
if we were our paranoias i'd be joining you
if we were our incomes
if we were our obsession
if we were our afflictions i'd be joining you
we need reflection we need a really good memory feel free to call me a little more often

Breaking Up The Girl
by Garbage

In a modern culture
My friend you must be careful
They've got million ways to kill you

In this dangerous world
There’s an art to growing old
Taking chances
Magic happens

One mistake's all it takes
And your life has come undone
Walk away cause you're breaking up the girl
It's a drag
I know it's hard
But you're tearing her apart
Walk away cause you're breaking up the girl

I am afraid there's much to be afraid of
Here today and gone tomorrow
Don't end up in the gutter
Just like the one before
You're just the same
You're such a loser

One mistake's all it takes
And your life has come undone
Walk away cause you're breaking up the girl
It's a drag
I know it's hard
But you're tearing her apart
Walk away cause you're breaking up the girl

You've got to let her go because you're breaking up the girl
The girl...

One mistake's all it takes
And your life has come undone
Walk away cause you're breaking up the girl
It's a drag
I know it's hard
But you're tearing her apart
Walk away cause you're breaking up the girl

You're breaking up the girl
You're breaking up the girl
The girl...

Def Leppard - Paper Sun from the Euphoria Album

Does it hurt to remember
Does it help to forget
Do you know what you started
When you lit the fuse of regret

There's not a reason why
You've come undone
There's nothing left to justify
This can't go on
There's nothing left inside

Coz you're living on a paper sun
Blind to all the damage done
Living on a paper sun
Waiting for the tide to turn
Living in a paper sun
You can't hide and you can't run
All your dreams have come and gone
Living on a paper sun

Can you still hear him screaming
And does the fear make you run
Is the anger inside of you
A gift from father to son

I don't believe in you
You've come undone
I don't believe in what you do
This can't go on
I don't belive in you
As I walk this broken road

You will discover
The way to suffer
And like no other
You feed the fire

"So Far Away" by Staind from their "14 Shades of Grey" CD

[i]This is my life
It's not what it was before
All these feelings I've shared
And these are my dreams
That I'd never lived before
Somebody shake me 'cause I
I must be sleeping

Chorus

Now that we're here, it's so far away
All the struggle we thought was in vain
All the mistakes, one life contained
They all finally start to go away
Now that we're here, it's so far away
And I feel like I can face the day
I can forgive, and I'm not ashamed
To be the person that I am today

These are my words
That I've never said before
I think I'm doing okay
And this is the smile
That I've never shown before
Somebody shake me 'cause I
I must be sleeping

Chorus

I'm so afraid of waking
Please don't shake me
Afraid of waking
Please don't shake me

Chorus

This one was just recently released:

Trouble

By: Dave Matthews

Trouble
Don't you see
That in your bed
I find no sleep
I confess you came because of me
Trouble get behind me now
Trouble let me be

Cold wet stone
Deep river bed
Once so clean and clear now runs red
You know to well
Was me that called you here
Trouble get behind me now
Trouble let me be

Oh sweet day
Leave me behind
I will never call on you
Until the day I die
Pray your mercy shine on me
Pray your mercy shine

Here I stand
Head bowed for thee
My empty heart begs you
Leave me be
But I confess
You know too well
That I have fallen
Pray your mercy give to me
Pray your mercy shine
Trouble, I'll not trouble thee
Let your mercy shine

Cold wet stone
River deep and red
Your cold heart beats inside my head
You know too well
It was me that brought you here
Oh, trouble get behind me now
Trouble let me be
I pray your mercy shine on me
Trouble let me be

Artist: Alice Cooper
Title: Wind-Up Toy


Voices come from down the hall
In my room all painted white
I have my bat and rubber ball
I like to sleep with them at night

But now I'm all smiles
the good little shots must be winning
Yes, they crank my dial
My motor is stalled but my wheels are still spinning

Daddy won't discuss me
What a state I must be
Mommy couldn't stand living with a wind-up toy

All my friends live on the fllor
Tiny legs and tiny eyes
They're free to crawl under the door
And, and someday soon so will I

But now I'm all smiles
These good little shots must be working
I'm so happy now
Look, my fingers don't shake and my head isn't jerking

Daddy won't discuss me
What a pain I must be
Mommy couldn't stand having such a wound-up boy

Doctors want to check me
Poke me and dissect me
What do they expect?
Feelings froma wound-up toy?
I don't think so
I7m just a wound-up toy
I'm just a wind-up toy

I'm lost in a nightmare
Shiny white halls
Drawing rats on the wall
Solitary confinement
Chained in a cell
got my own private hell

Preacher crucifies me
Warden wants to fry me
I was never young
Never just a little boy

Daddy won't discuss me
What a pain I must be
Mama couldn't stand having such a wound-up boy
I'm just a wind-up toy
I'm a wind-up toy
I'm just a wind-up toy
I'm just a wind-up toy

I think that this would be excellent if anyone were to ever put together a "feel good" album about ADD/ADHD...

Beautiful - by Joydrop

If I was beautiful like you
Oh the things I would do
Those not so blessed would by crying out murder
And I’d just laugh and get away with it too
Like you do

If I was beautiful like you
I would never be at fault
I’d walk in the rain between the rain drops
Bringing traffic to a halt
But that will never be
That will never never be
Cause I’m not beautiful like you
I’m beautiful like me
Beautiful like me

If I was beautiful like you
I’d be quick to assume
They’d do anything to please me
I know I see the reaction when you walk into a room
But that will never be
That will never never be
Cause I’m not beautiful like you
I’m beautiful like me
Beautiful like me
Beautiful, Beautiful like me
Like me, like me

If I was beautiful like you
I’d have so many friends
Always fighting for my time to be next in line
So if I hurt one I wouldn’t have to make amends
That will never be
That will never never be
Cause I’m not beautiful like you
I’m not beautiful like you
I’m not beautiful like you
I’m beautiful like me
Beautiful like me
Beautiful like me
I’m beautiful like me
I’m beautiful like me

QUOTE from waywardclam

I think that this would be excellent if anyone were to ever put together a "feel good" album about ADD/ADHD...


An ADHD "feel good" album/compilation...that idea ROCKS!!! (no pun intended, but it was a good one, huh? :D )

Anybody got any ideas/connections on how such an album could become a reality?

It's pretty easy to create one for your own personal use if you have a CD burner and Kazaa, or friends with this stuff.

As for getting one professionally done... I think that that would be a hell of a project, hard even for a hyperfocuser.

I think the best bet would be to discover some celebrity in the music business who has a stake in ADD or is sympathetic to it and enlist them in the cause. Who knows--someone may already be doing it!

Another approach could be to find a nonprofit ADD group that is looking for a fundraising idea. Many many celebrities (and sometimes even the companies they work for) will support a charitable album idea...

Hmm, this has some serious potential to snowball, who wants to throw some more ideas into the mix?

I can burn songs but I would have to borrow CDs to get it all on Disk. Plus you need permission from the Artists... right?

If you are an honorable person, and I assume the majority of people here are, then yes you do need the permission of the artists... although here is the letter of the law:

If you own a copy of the "media" that you purchased legally, you are able to own an MP3 of the same song. I.e. if you purchased a CD, tape, or record that has the song on it, you are legally allowed to own the same MP3.

You are allowed to own an MP3 if you paid to download it or you downloaded it from a site that legally was allowed to offer it free (pretty much means only the artist's sites, or the sites of their music publishing company.)

Otherwise you are governed by "fair use" which means you can only have it if you are a music reviewer or have some other legitimate reason to need to review the music...

The vast majority of Kazaa users IMHO do use it illegally, either because they don't agree with the letter of the law, or don't care, or believe the record companies and possibly the artists are too rich already and don't need their $.

There are some people... IMHO a minority... who use it for more legitimate purposes, i.e. to review songs for themselves, and if they like the song go out and buy the CD, if they don't delete it from the drive, etc...

Longwave - Everywhere You Turn

when i'm sure
i don't know why but i feel so insecure
and when it comes
it comes like a great big lull
but either way
i don't know why but i get so crazy
and all the thoughts get twisted in knots
when i'm home
i don't know why but i feel so all alone
and then you come barring down like an atom bomb
and i want to, but i want to
but i want to, but i feel all inside out
want to, but i want to
but i want to, But i feel all inside out
everywhere you turn
there's always something there
and all the time you're getting no where
everywhere I don't know why but I get so crazy
and all the thoughts get twisted in knots
well i'm sure
sometimes i feel out a little more
and then its hard
it's harder than it ever was before
but either way i don't know why but i get so crazy
and all the thoughts get twisted in knots
yeah i want to, but i want to
but i want to, but i feel all inside out
want to, but i want to
but i want to, but i feel all inside out
everywhere you turn
there's always something there
and all the time you're getting no where
everywhere I don't know why but I get so crazy
and all the thoughts get twisted in knots
yeah i want to but i want to
but i want to but i feel all inside out
want to but i want to
but i want to
but i feel all inside out

Men at Work-Overkill

I can’t get to sleep
I think about the implications
Of diving in too deep
And possibly the complications

Especially at night
I worry over situations
I know will be alright
Perahaps it’s just my imagination

Day after day it reappears
Night after night my heartbeat, shows the fear
Ghosts appear and fade away

Alone between the sheets
Only brings exasperation
It’s time to walk the streets
Smell the desperation

At least there’s pretty lights
And though there’s little variation
It nullifies the night
From overkill

Day after day it reappears
Night after night my heartbeat, shows the fear
Ghosts appear and fade away

I can’t get to sleep
I think about the implications
Of diving in too deep
And possibly the complications

Especially at night
I worry over situations
I know will be alright
It’s just overkill

Day after day it reappears
Night after night my heartbeat, shows the fear
Ghosts appear and fade away

I love this song.....I love men at work too....but this one really makes me think of how I go overthings in my mind....it does kind of end up being overkill....I over analyze everything

Aha! Found another one.

Blue Rodeo - Til I Am Myself Again
From the album: Casino


I want to know where my confidence went
One day it all disappeared
And I'm lying in a hotel room miles away
Voices next door in my ear

Day time is bad, nighttime worse
Hope that I can get home soon
But the half-finished bottles of inspiration
Lie like ghosts in my room

I want to go
I know I can't stay
But I don't want to run
Feeling this way
Til I am myself
Til I am myself
Til I am myself again

There's a seat on the corner I keep every night
Wait til the evening begins
I feel like a stranger from another world
But at least I'm living again

There are nights full of anger
Words that are thrown
Tempers that are shattered and thin
And the moments of magic
Are just too short
They're over before they begin

I know it's time
One big step
I can't go
I'm not ready yet
Til I am myself
Til I am myself
Til I am myself again

I had a dream that my house was on fire
People laughed while it burned
I tried to run by my legs were numb
I had to wait til the feeling returned

I don't need a doctor to figure it out
I know what's passing me by
When I look in the mirror
Sometimes I see traces of some other guy

I want to go
I know I can't stay
But I don't want to run
Feeling this way
Til I am myself
Til I am myself
Til I am myself again

this one doesnt' have any words but it's TOTALLY ADHD... (it's neat b/c it's in 7/8 time...)

"unsquare dance" by dave brubeck

Blink 182 - What's my Age again?



I took her out, it was a Friday night
I wore cologne to get the feeling right
We started making out, and she took off my pants
But then I turned on the TV

And thats about the time she walked away from me
Nobody likes you when you're 23
And are still more amused by TV shows
What the hell is ADD?
My friends say I should act my age
Whats my age again?
Whats my age again?

And later on, on the drive home
I called her mom from a pay phone
I said I was the cops
And your husbands in jail
This state looks down on sodomy

And thats about the time that b***h hung up on me
Nobody likes you when you're 23,
And are still more amused by prank phone calls,
What the hell is call ID?
My friends say I should act my age
Whats my age again?
whats my age again?

And thats about the time she walked away from me
Nobody likes you when you're 23
And you still act like you're in Freshman year
What the hell is wrong with me?
My friends say I should act my age
Whats my age again?
(whats my age again?)

And thats about the time that she broke up with me
No one should take themselves so seriously
With many years ahead to fall in line
Why would you wish that on me?
I never want to act my age
Whats my age again?
whats my age again?

whats my age again?

Rollins Band-Low Self Opinion

LOW SELF OPINION
I think you got a low self opinion man
I see you standing all by yourself
Unable to express the pain for your distress
You withdraw deeper inside
You alienate yourself
An everybody else
They wonder what's on your mind
They got so tired of you
And your self ridicule
They wrote you off and left you behind

You sleep alone at night
You never wonder why
All this bitterness wells up inside you
You always victimize
So you can citicize yourself
And all those around you

The hatred you project
Does nothing to protect you
You leave yourself so exposed
You want to open up
When someone says lighten up
You find all your doors closed
Get yourself a break from self rejection
Try some introspection
And you just might find
It's not so bad and anyway
At the end of the day
All you have is yourself on your mind
The self hatred that blinds you
Binds you grinds you keeps you down
The world falls down around you
You build up walls around you
You wear disgust like a crown

If you could see the you that I see
When I see you seeing me
You'd see yourself so differently
Believe me

I know the self doubt that runs inside your mind
I know the self doubt that treats you so unkind

If you could see the you that I see
When I see you
You would see things differently
I assure you

DISCONNECT
Don't want to think too much
It makes me think too much
It keeps my mind on my mind

Don't want to see too much
It makes me see too much
Sometimes I'd rather be blind

All the things that they're saying, doing
It overloads me
Too much static
I want to disconnect myself
Pull my brain out and go deep inside
I want to pull it out

Too bad if at the end of the day
The only thoughts in your brain are all the things that they say
What a waste
Too bad if at the end of the line
you have no idea what's on your own mind
You got no one to blame but yourself

I havent read all the posts.. but just the title made me automatically think
"I know a song that gets on everybodys nerves" *grin*
Kidding.. but it really did pop into my head lol

Though I never had the urge to sing it for more than 30 sec *shrug*

lol, that's a good one!! (reemmber that song all too well....)

Maroon 5 - "Must Get Out" (the music to this song is FANTASTIC btw)

I've been the needle and the thread
Weaving figure eights and circles round your head
I try to laugh but cry instead
Patiently wait to hear the words you've never said

Fumbling through your dresser door forgot what I was looking for
Try to guide me in the right direction
Making use of all this time
Keeping everything inside
Close my eyes and listen to you cry

I'm lifting you up
I'm letting you down
I'm dancing til dawn
I'm fooling around
I'm not giving up
I'm making your love
This city's made us crazy and we must get out

This not goodbye she said
It is just time for me to rest my head
She does not walk she runs instead
Down these jagged streets and into my bed

Fumbling through your dresser door forgot what I was looking for
Try to guide me in the right direction
Making use of all this time
Keeping everything inside
Close my eyes and listen to you cry

I'm lifting you up
I'm letting you down
I'm dancing til dawn
I'm fooling around
I'm not giving up
I'm making your love
This city's made us crazy and we must get out

There's only so much I can do for you
After all of the things you put me through

Perfect---A Simple Plan

I'm not posting the words....you can just turn on your radio, it is on like 3X an hour.

Kid Rock - Only God Knows Why

I've been sittin here - Tryin to find myself
I get behind myself - I need to rewind myself
Lookin for the payback - Listen for the playback
They say that every man bleeds just like me

And I feel like number one - Yet I'm last in line
I watch my youngest son - And it helps to pass the time
I take too many pills - it helps to ease the pain
I made a couple of dollar bills, but still I feel the same

Everybody knows my name - They say it way out loud
A lot of folks f*** with me - It's hard to hang out in crowds
I guess that's the price you pay to be some big shot like I am
Out stretched hands and one night stands - Still I can't find love

....And when your walls come tumbling down
....I will always be around

Yeah

....And when your walls come tumbling down
....I will always be around

People don't know about the things I say and do
They don't understand about the s*** that I've been through
It's been so long since I've been home
I've been gone, I've been gone for way too long

Maybe I forgot all the things I miss
Oh somehow I know there's more to life than this
I said it too many times - And I still stand firm
You get what you put in - And people get what they deserve
Still I ain't seen mine - No I ain't seen mine
I've been giving just ain't been gettin - I've been walking that there line
So I think I'll keep a walking - With my head held high
I'll keep moving on - and only God knows why
Only God... Only God... Only God knows why,
Only God...knows...why, why, why... Only God knows why

Take me to the river, hey
Won't you take me to the river, hey hey hey

These are absolutely great songs, I actually researched some and now have ordered the albums! So much music so little time.
I have that album already, Paul.. love his music, he was awesome during the halftime show!!

Take Me as I am - October Project

Take me as I am
Someone you don't know
Even in the dark
You may not be sure

Take me while you can
I can see you standing in the smoky entrance
Giving up your good intentions

CHORUS
Leave the shadows dancing
Dancing on their own
Let the moments free you now
And leave it all behind you
I'll know where you've gone
Let the world go on

Take me as I am
I may disappear
Fade into the night
Lighther than your thoughts

Take me while you can
Never knowing who or what you are until you're
Living with the unfamiliar

CHORUS


There's a place where fear won't find you
Where your secret dreams remind you
This is all you have to know and
This is all you have to go on

Everything you have inside you
Everything you need to guide you
This is all you have to know and
This is all you have to go on

Take me as I am
Someone you could know
Even as we speak
You could change your mind

Take me while you can
Even if you shine a light into a mirror
You won't see me any clearer

CHORUS

This is a silly little ditty, but you got to respect a group of guys with the guts to write a song about their night light. :-) Besides, they appeal to my erratic side.

I'm your only friend
I'm not your only friend
But I'm a little glowing friend
But really I'm not actually your friend
But I am...

BLUE CANARY IN THE OUTLET BY THE LIGHT SWITCH!
WHO WATCHES OVER YOU!
Make a little birdhouse in your soul

I have a secret to tell
From my electrical well
It's a simple message
And I'm leaving out the whistles and bells.

So, the room must listen to me
Philisbuster vigilantly
My name is Blue Canary
One note spelled L-I-T-E!

My story's infinite!
Like the longette symphonette, it never rests!

BLUE CANARY IN THE OUTLET BY THE LIGHT SWITCH!
WHO WATCHES OVER YOU!!!

Make a little birdhouse in your soul

Not to put to fine a point on it
Say I'm the only bee in your bonnet

Make a little birdhouse in your soul

There's a picture opposite me
Of my primitive ancestry
Who stood on rocky shores
And kept the beaches shipwreck free!

While I respect that a lot
I'd be fired if that were my job
after killing Jason off
And countless screaming argonauts!

Blue bird of friendliness!
Like guardian angels, it's always near!

BLUE CANARY IN THE OUTLET BY THE LIGHT SWITCH!
WHO WATCHES OVER YOU!

Make a little birdhouse in your soul

Not to put to fine a point on it
Say I'm the only bee in your bonnet

Make a little bird house in your soul.... and while your at it leave the night light on inside the bird house in your soul....


~ They Might Be Giants from their album Flood.

Keppig,

You listen to so much of the same stuff I do! You're making me feel old lady!

Listen to any other alternative bands from back in the day? Echo and the Bunny Men perhaps?

Hurt from Nine Inch Nails makes me think of the negative effects of ADD socially.

Linkin Park's "Somewhere I Belong"

"Somewhere I Belong"

(When this began)
I had nothing to say
And I get lost in the nothingness inside of me
(I was confused)
And I let it all out to find
That I’m not the only person with these things in mind
(Inside of me)
But all the vacancy the words revealed
Is the only real thing that I’ve got left to feel
(Nothing to lose)
Just stuck/ hollow and alone
And the fault is my own, and the fault is my own

[Chorus]
I wanna heal, I wanna feel what I thought was never real
I wanna let go of the pain I’ve held so long
(Erase all the pain till it’s gone)
I wanna heal, I wanna feel like I’m close to something real
I wanna find something I’ve wanted all along
Somewhere I belong

And I’ve got nothing to say
I can’t believe I didn’t fall right down on my face
(I was confused)
Looking everywhere only to find
That it’s not the way I had imagined it all in my mind
(So what am I)
What do I have but negativity
’Cause I can’t justify the way, everyone is looking at me
(Nothing to lose)
Nothing to gain/ hollow and alone
And the fault is my own, and the fault is my own

[Repeat Chorus]

I will never know myself until I do this on my own
And I will never feel anything else, until my wounds are healed
I will never be anything till I break away from me
I will break away, I'll find myself today

[Repeat Chorus]

I wanna heal, I wanna feel like I’m somewhere I belong
I wanna heal, I wanna feel like I’m somewhere I belong
Somewhere I belong

I've never heard that song melly..... course I don't listen to Linkin Park.. lol
But... ummmmm.. maybe I should.

Mel, I absolutely LOVE that song!!

Here's another good one:

Nowhere Fast - Incubus

Will I ever get to, to where it is that I am going
Will I ever follow through with what I... with what I have planned
I guess it's possible, that I have been a bit distracted
And the directions for me are a lot less in demand.
In demand.
Will I ever get to where I'm going
If I do will I know when I'm there
If the wind blew me in the right direction. Yeah
Would I even care
I would.
I take a look around, it's evident the scene has changed.
And there are times when I feel improved, improved upon the past.
And there are times when I can't seem to understand at all.
And yes it seems as though I'm going nowhere really ****ing fast.
Nowhere fast.
Will I ever get to where I'm going
If I do will I know when Im there
If the wind blew me in the right direction. Yeah
Would I even care
I would.
I would.
I would.
Will I ever get to where I'm going
If I do, will I know when I am there
If the wind blew me in the right direction. Yeah
Would I even care
I would.
I would.
I would.

I just found another one TOTALLY by accident, the lyrics are perfect, the music's not bad, and better yet, it has a video! I highly recommend watching this at least once...

"Get Out Of My Head (Ritalin Mix)"

Maybe I could be a billionaire
If I wasn't always broke
And I could be a comedian
If I wasn't such a joke
Guess I knew it all along
Being born's where I went wrong
I always took the medication I was fed
Get out of my head
Get out of my head

I could train to be an astronaut
If I weren't afraid of heights
And you know I could be a supermodel
If you turned out all the lights
But all my days are painted grey
And I got nothing much left to say
My ambition is lying underneath the bed
Get out of my head
Get out of my head

Hey all you prestidigitators
Why don't you disappear for good
'Cause Hitler could have been a mediocre painter
Instead of a supercrook
Instead of a supercrook

Maybe I could have a great career
If I could just hold down a job
Or maybe I could be a social butterfly
If I wasn't such a slob
I always wreck everything I got
On every bullet I ever shot
Missed the target 'til I finally hit the red
Get out of my head
Get out of my head...

Oh I love these songs, don't know about you all, I'm buying some CDS!! :D

Radiohead - Creep

When you were here before, couldn't look you in the eye
You're just like an angel, your skin makes me cry
You float like a feather
In a beautiful world
I wish I was special
You're so f***ing special

But I'm a creep, I'm a weirdo
What the hell am I doing here?
I don't belong here

I don't care if it hurts, I want to have control
I want a perfect body, I want a perfect soul
I want you to notice, when I'm not around
You're so f***ing special
I wish I was special

But I'm a creep, I'm a weirdo
What the hell am I doing here?
I don't belong here, ohhh ohhhh

She's running out again....
She's running out, she's run, run, run, run....run....

Whatever makes you happy
Whatever you want
You're so f***ing special
I wish I was special
But I'm a creep, I'm a weirdo
What the hell am I doing here?
I don't belong here
I don't belong here

This is a silly little ditty, but you got to respect a group of guys with the guts to write a song about their night light. :-) They Might Be Giants from their album Flood.oh, i absolutely *"love"* this song!!!

Institutionalized
Suicidial Tendencies

Sometimes I try to do things, and it just don't turn out the way I wanted to
and I get real frustrated, it's like, I take my time and I try real hard, but
no matter what I do and no matter what I try it never works out, it's like I
concentrate on it real hard, but it never works out, it's like I need some
time to figure these things out, but there's always someone there going:
- Hey Mike, you know, we been noticing you've been having alot of problems
lately, you know, and like maybe you should talk about it, you'd feel alot
better.
And I go:
- No, it's ok, I know I have some problems, I'll figure it out myself, just
leave me alone I'll figure it out.
And they go:
- Why don't you talk about it, you'll feel alot better?
And I go:
- No, I don't want to, just leave me alone, I'll figure it out myself!
And they keep on bugging me and it builds up inside, it builds up inside...

So you're gonna be institutionalized
You'll come out brainwashed with bloodshot eyes
You won't have any say
They'll brainwash you until you see their way

I'm not crazy - institutionalized
You're the one who's crazy - institutionalized
You're driving me crazy - institutionalized
They stuck me in an institution
Said it was the only solution
To give me the needed professional help
To protect me from the enemy, myself

I was sitting in my room, and I was like staring at the walls thinking about
everything but then again I was thinking about nothing, and then my mom came
in and I didn't notice she was there and she calls my name and I didn't hear
her and then she started screaming:
- Mike, Mike!
And I go:
- What, what's the matter?
She goes:
- What's the matter with you?
I say:
- Nothing mom.
She goes:
- Don't tell me nothing, you're on drugs!
I go:
- No mom, I'm not on drugs, I'm ok, I'm just thinking, you know, why don't
you get me a Pepsi?
She goes:
- No, you're on drugs, you're crazy, normal people won't be acting that way!
I go:
- Mom, I'm all right, I'm just thinking, you know, so why don't you, like
give me a Pepsi?
And she goes:
- No, you're crazy!
All I wanted was a Pepsi, just one Pepsi, and she wouldn't give it to me,
just one Pepsi...

They give you a white shirt with long sleeves
Tied around you're back, you're treated like thieves
Drug you up because they're lazy
It's too much work to help a crazy

I'm not crazy - institutionalized
You're the one who's crazy - institutionalized
You're driving me crazy - institutionalized
They stuck me in an institution
Said it was the only solution
To give me the needed professional help
To protect me from the enemy, myself

I was sitting in my room and my mom and my dad came in and they pulled up a
chair and they sat down, they go:
- Mike, we need to talk to you.
And I said:
- Okay, what's the matter?
They go:
- Well me and your mom, we been noticing lately you've been having alot of
problems, and you haven't been acting like yourself, and we're afraid that
you're going to hurt somebody, and we're afraid that you're gonna hurt
yourself, so we decided that it would be in your best interest if we put
you somewhere where you could get the help that you need...
And I said:
- Wait, what are we talking about?! We decided?! My best interest?! How can
you know, how can you say what my best interest is? What are you trying to
say? I'm crazy? When I went to your schools, I went to your churches, I
went to your institutional learning facilities. So how can you say that I'm
crazy?

They say they're gonna fix my brain
Alleviate my suffering and my pain
But by the time they fix my head
Mentally I'll be dead

I'm not crazy - institutionalized
You're the one who's crazy - institutionalized
You're driving me crazy - institutionalized
They stuck me in an institution
Said it was the only solution
To give me the needed professional help
To protect me from the enemy, myself

It doesn't matter I'll probably get hit by a car anyway.

Trouble Child
by Joni Mitchell

Up in a sterilized room
Where they let you be lazy
Knowing your attitude's all wrong
And you got to change
And that's not easy
Dragon shining with all values known
Dazzling you-keeping you from your own
Where is the lion in you to defy him
When you're this weak
And this spacey

So what are you going to do about it
You can't live life and you can't leave it
Advice and religion you can't take it
You can't seem to believe it
The peacock is afraid to parade
You're under the thumb of the maid
You really can't give love in this condition
Still you know how you need it

They open and close you
Then they talk like they know you
They don't know you
They're friends and they're foes too
Trouble child
Breaking like the waves at Malibu

So why does it come as such a shock
To know you really have no one
Only a river of changing faces
Looking for an ocean
They trickle through your leaky plans
Another dream over the dam
And you're lying in some room
Feeling like your right to be human
Is going over too
Well some are going to knock you
And some'll try to clock you
You know it's really hard
To talk sense to you
Trouble child
Breaking like the waves at Malibu

Consequence Free
by Great Big Sea

Wouldn't it be great if no one ever got offended?
And wouldn't it be great to say what's really on your mind?
I have always said all the rules are made for bending,
And if I let my hair down, would that be such crime?

Chorus:

Oh, and I wanna be consequence free
And I wanna be where nothin' needs to matter
I wanna be consequence free
Just sing na na na na na ni ah ah na
Na na na na na ni ah ah na

I could really use to lose my Catholic conscience
‘Cause I'm getting sick of feeling guilty all the time
I won't abuse it, yeah, I've got the best intentions
For a little bit of anarchy, but not the hurting kind

Chorus

Oh, I couldn't sleep at all last night
‘Cause I had so much on my mind
And, I'd like to leave it all behind
But you know it's not that easy
Oh but for just one night

Wouldn't it be great if the band never ended
We could stay out late and we would never hear last call
We wouldn't need to worry about approval or permission
We could, slip off the edge and never worry about the fall

Chorus

Whoa, Na na na na na ni ah ah na

Never An Easy Way Lyrics
by Morcheeba


I think I slipped the net,
But I cut myself free,
I'm not losing yet,
So don't forget me.

I'll say it, we play it, and try tomorrow
I'll say it, we play it, and live with sorrow.

You'd think I'd learn by now,
There's never an easy way,
I get through somehow,
I'm on my knees to pray,

You'd think I'd learn by now,
There's never an easy way,
I get through somehow,
I'm on my knees.

I'll admit I'm wrong,
But I'm getting on track,
I've been here too long,
I'm under attack.

I face it, replace it, and try to change,
I face it, replace it, and rearrange.

You'd think I learned by now,
There's never an easy way,
I get through somehow,
I'm on my knees to pray,

You'd think I learned by now,
There's never an easy way,
I get through somehow,
I'm on my knees to pray.

On my knees to pray.

I think I slipped the net,
But I cut myself free,
I'm not losing yet,
So don't forget me.

I'll say it, we play it, and try tomorrow
I'll say it, we play it, and live with sorrow.

You'd think I learned by now,
There's never an easy way,
I get through somehow,
I'm on my knees to pray,

You'd think I learned by now,
There's never an easy way,
I get through somehow,
I'm on my knees to pray,
I'm on my knees to pray,

On my knees to pray,

Bittersweet Symphony Lyrics
by The Verve


'Cause it's a bittersweet symphony, this life
Try to make ends meet
You're a slave to money then you die
I'll take you down the only road I've ever been down
You know the one that takes you to the places
where all the veins meet yeah,

No change, I can change
I can change, I can change
But I'm here in my mold
I am here in my mold
But I'm a million different people
from one day to the next
I can't change my mold
No, no, no, no, no

Well I never pray
But tonight I'm on my knees yeah
I need to hear some sounds that recognize the pain in me, yeah
I let the melody shine, let it cleanse my mind, I feel free now
But the airways are clean and there's nobody singing to me now

No change, I can change
I can change, I can change
But I'm here in my mold
I am here in my mold
And I'm a million different people
from one day to the next
I can't change my mold
No, no, no, no, no
I can't change
I can't change

'Cause it's a bittersweet symphony, this life
Try to make ends meet
Try to find some money then you die
I'll take you down the only road I've ever been down
You know the one that takes you to the places
where all the things meet yeah

You know I can change, I can change
I can change, I can change
But I'm here in my mold
I am here in my mold
And I'm a million different people
from one day to the next
I can't change my mold
No, no, no, no, no

I can't change my mold
no, no, no, no, no,
I can't change
Can't change my body,
no, no, no

I'll take you down the only road I've ever been down
I'll take you down the only road I've ever been down
Been down
Ever been down
Ever been down
Ever been down
Ever been down
Have you ever been down?
Have you've ever been down?

Disconnection Notice Lyrics



did you get yr disconnection notice?
mine came in the mail today
they seem to think i'm disconnecte
don't think i know what to read or write or say
glossaries injected daily
words and numbers spell out the price to pay
it simply states "yr disconnected baby"
see how easily it all slips away...

and this is no direction
prepare for the city
angels turn on heaven's light

hurry up the stage awaits you
don't forget to memorize yr lines
can you hear them congratulate you?
out of step, i just can't find the time
will we pass thru undetected?
everything's right here inside yr file
yr not so free to be so un protected
a secret mona lisa hides behind her smile

and this is no direction
prepare for the city
angels turn on heaven's light

*interlude*

did you get yr disconnection notice?

"i am a rock" - simon and garfunkel

A winter's day-
F C
in a deep and dark December
Dm G7 F C
I am alone-
Dm7 Em7 Dm7 Em7
Gazing from my window to the streets below
Dm F G
On a freshly fallen silent shroud of snow.


F C F G C Am
I am a rock, I am an island.

2.
I've built walls,
A fortress deep and mity
That none may penetrate
I have no need of friendship
friendship causes pain
It's laughter and loving I disdain

I am a rock, I am an island

3.
Don't talk of love
but I've heard the word before
It's sleeping in my memory
I won't disturb the slumber of the feelings that have died
If I never loved I never would have cried

I am a rock, I am an island 4.
I have my books
and my poetry to protect me
I am shielded in my armour
Hiding in my room, safe within my womb,
I touch no one and no one touches me.
F C F G C
I am a rock, I am an island
Dm7 G C Dm7 G C
And a rock feels no pain, and an island never cries

...
My old man is another child that's grown old
If dreams were lightning thunder was desire
This old house would have burnt down a long time ago
...

Repeat Chorus:

This is a funky little duet with Valdy and Garry Fjellgaard that rolls along just like a smooth running train.

http://www.fjellgaard.bc.ca/lyrics/lyrcantpull.htm

Can't Pull This Train

There's a train in the station
It's got common sense and reason
But it's got no chance of leavin if it doesn't have a crew
The conductor looks so helpless
I've got hungry
I've got homeless
I've got passengers
Who don't know what to do
I can't pull this train over the mountain without you
I can't pull this train over the mountain without you

I need an engineer
I need a brakeman
Someone to grease the drivers
A section gang to keep those tracks runnin straight and true
I need cooks
I need waiters
The pullman car needs porters
I need special folks
With special jobs to do
I can't pull this train over the mountain without you
I can't pull this train over the mountain without you

Every wheel was stiff and rusty
But we got that train a-rollin
Cause we all pulled together
With a mighty heave or two
The conductor said
Get to know each other
it's a long and hard old journey
Got everyone on board
Not just the chosen few

That train of common sense and reason
Only goes in one direction
But there's a car for every nation
Every different point of view
The conductor looks contented
He said were runnin right on schedule
And I know I've never had a better crew
I can't pull this train over the mountain without you
I can't pull this train over the mountain without you
Can't pull this train over the mountain
It's a long way over the mountain
Can't pull this train over the mountain without you

Then on the darker side..

Metallica's UnForgiven

New blood joins this earth
and quikly he's subdued
through constant pain disgrace
the young boy learns their rules

with time the child draws in
this whipping boy done wrong
deprived of all his thoughts
the young man struggles on and on he's known
a vow unto his own
that never from this day
his will they'll take away

what I've felt
what I've known
never shined through in what I've shown
never be
never see
won't see what might have been

what I've felt
what I've known
never shined through in what I've shown
never free
never me
so I dub thee unforgiven

they dedicate their lives
to running all of his
he tries to please them all
this bitter man he is
throughout his life the same
he's battled constantly
this fight he cannot win
a tired man they see no longer cares
the old man then prepares
to die regretfully
that old man here is me

what I've felt
what I've known
never shined through in what I've shown
never be
never see
won't see what might have been

what I've felt
what I've known
never shined through in what I've shown
never free
never me
so I dub thee unforgiven

you labeled me
I'll label you
so I dub thee unforgiven

Oh Yeah...Metallica Rules

Whoah pretty good stuff! I'm not much of a metal head but I like that.

:D Label Me A Metal Chick!

I was walking down the street the other day & some guy heading toward me had a big grin on his face....

hmmm... what's that all about???

:) no matter what kinda music ya listen to...If it makes you feel good and takes you away from the rest of the world around you....It is Heaven.;)

Parts of this song work for me!!!

"All I Really Want"

Do I stress you out
My sweater is on backwards and inside out
And you say how appropriate
I don't want to dissect everything today
I don't mean to pick you apart you see
But I can't help it
There I go jumping before the gunshot has gone off
Slap me with a splintered ruler
And it would knock me to the floor if I wasn't there already
If only I could hunt the hunter

And all I really want is some patience
A way to calm the angry voice
And all I really want is deliverance
Do I wear you out
You must wonder why I'm so relentless and all strung out
I'm consumed by the chill of solitary
I'm like Estella
I like to reel it in and then spit it out
I'm frustrated by your apathy
And I am frightened by the corrupted ways of this land
If only I could meet the Maker

And I am fascinated by the spiritual man
I am humbled by his humble nature
What I wouldn't give to find a soulmate
Someone else to catch this drift
And what I wouldn't give to meet a kindred
Enough about me, let's talk about you for a minute
Enough about you, let's talk about life for a while
The conflicts, the craziness and the sound of pretenses
Falling all around...all around
Why are you so petrified of silence
Here can you handle this?

Did you think about your bills, your ex, your deadlines
Or when you think you're gonna die
Or did you long for the next distraction
And all I need know is intellectual intercourse
A soul to dig the hole much deeper
And I have no concept of time other than it is flying
If only I could kill the killer

All I really want is some peace man
a place to find a common ground
And all I really want is a wavelength
All I really want is some comfort
A way to get my hands untied
And all I really want is some justice...

Something about this one kinda makes me think ADD...in a way....

ALANIS MORISSETTE

"UR"

burn the books they've got too many names and psychosis
all this incriminating evidence would surely haunt me
if someone broke into my house
suits in the living room
do you realize guys I was born in 1974
we've got someone here to explain your publishing
we know how much you love to be in front of audiences
hopeful you are
schoolbound you are
naive you are
driven you are
take a trip to new york with your guardian
and your fake identification
when they said "is there something anything
you'd like to know young lady?"
you said "yes I'd like to know what kind of people
i'll be dealing with"
precocious you are
headstrong you are
terrified you are
ahead of your time you are
don't mind our staring but
we're surprised you're not in a far-gone asylum
we're surprised you didn't crack up
lord knows that we would've
we would've liked to have been there
but you keep pushing us away
resilient you are
big time you are
ruthless you are
precious you are

Isn't that Ironic...A Little toooooooo Ironic:p

Another good one....



ALANIS MORISSETTE

"So-Called Chaos"

Deadlines, meetings and contracts all breached
D-days and structure responsibility

Have-to's and need-to's and get-to's by three
Eleventh hours and upset employees

I want to be naked, running through the streets
I want to invite this so called chaos, that you'd think I dare not be
I want to be weightless, flying through the air
I want to drop all these limitations and return to what I was born to be

Heartburn and headaches and soon-to-be ulcers
Compulsive yearnings non-stop to please others

I want to be naked, running through the streets
I want to invite this so called chaos, that you'd think I dare not be
I want to be weightless, flying through the air
I want to drop all these limitations at the shoes upon my feet

All won't be lost if I'm governed by my own innate-ness
Stop lights won't work I'll get home sound and safe regardless
Won't be mayhem if I'm ruled by my own rule-lessness
My fire won't quell and I'll be harm-free and distress-less (trust me)

Line towing, and helping, expectations up to living
Inside box obeying, inside line cutting

I want to be naked, running through the streets
I want to invite this so called chaos, that you'd think I dare not be
I want to be weightless, flying through the air
I want to drop all these limitations at the shoes upon my feet
I want to be naked, running through the streets
I want to invite this so called chaos, that you'd think I dare not be
I want to be weightless, flying through the air
I want to drop all these limitations and return to what I was born to be

Ack I am going Alanis Bonkers heheh

Actually I think about 90% of her songs could portray Borderline Personality Disorder...something I am recovering from......and her songs are all ME to a T!!!!!

Oooo I like the sound of that one, gonna have to go look it up...

I've always liked this one....

"Unwell" - Matchbox 20


All day staring at the ceiling
Making friends with shadows on my wall
All night hearing voices telling me
That I should get some sleep
Because tomorrow might be good for something

Hold on
Feeling like I'm headed for a breakdown
And I don't know why

But I'm not crazy, I'm just a little unwell
I know right now you can't tell
But stay awhile and maybe then you'll see
A different side of me
I'm not crazy, I'm just a little impaired
I know right now you don't care
But soon enough you're gonna think of me
And how I used to be, me

I'm talking to myself in public
Dodging glances on the train
And I know, I know they've all been talking about me
I can hear them whisper
And it makes me think
There must be something wrong with me
Out of all the hours thinking
Somehow I've lost my mind

But I'm not crazy, I'm just a little unwell
I know right now you can't tell
But stay awhile and maybe then you'll see
A different side of me
I'm not crazy, I'm just a little impaired
I know right now you don't care
But soon enough you're gonna think of me
And how I used to be

I've been talking in my sleep
Pretty soon they'll come to get me
Yeah, they're taking me away

But I'm not crazy, I'm just a little unwell
I know right now you can't tell
But stay awhile and maybe then you'll see
A different side of me
I'm not crazy, I'm just a little impaired
I know right now you don't care
But soon enough you're gonna think of me
And how I used to be

Yeah, how I used to be
How I used to be
Well, I'm just a little unwell
How I used to be
How I used to be
I'm just a little unwell

I dunno, this song may be about something and I don't know the story. But it strikes me as oddly appropriate in some ways. It's a beautiful and haunting song and I highly recommend it.


Black-Dove (January)

By Tori Amos - Backup vocals by Sarah McLachlan

She was a January girl
She never let on how insane it was,
In that tiny kind of scary house,
By the woods, by the woods, by the woods, by the woods.
By the woods, by the woods, by the woods, by the woods.

Black-dove, Black-dove,
You're not a helicopter,
You're not a cop-out either, honey
Black-dove, Black-dove,
You don't need a space ship
They don't know you've already lived
On the other side of the galaxy
The other side of the galaxy
The other side of the galaxy.

She had a January world
So many storms, not right somehow
How a lion becomes a mouse
By the woods, by the woods, by the woods, by the woods.
By the woods, by the woods, by the woods, by the woods.

But I have to get to Texas, said I have to get to Texas.
And I'll give away my blue, blue dress
Blue, blue dress.

Black-dove
Black-dove
You're not a helicopter
You're not a cop-out either, honey
Black-dove
Black-dove
You don't need a space ship
They don't know you've already lived
On the other side of the galaxy
The other side of...
The other side of the galaxy

But I have to get to Texas (sometime)
Said I have to get to Texas (sometime)
And I'll give away my blue dress, because cowboy,
The snakes they are my kin, are my kin.
Ahay...

She has a January girl
She never let on how insane it was
In that tiny kind of scary house
By the woods, by the woods, by the woods, by the woods.
By the woods, by the woods, by the woods, by the woods.
By the woods, by the woods, by the woods...
Black-dove...

Round and Round (written by Prince)

Ah yeah yeah yeah!
Round and round and round
Round, r-round
Hey yeah yeah, ooh yeah
Can U tell me where we goin' 2?
Can U tell me what it is we really wanna find?
Is the truth really there or is it right under our hair?
4 all we know it's been there all the time

I say nothin' comes from dreamers but dreams
I say sittin' idle in our boat while everyone else is down the stream
Nothin' comes from talkers but sound, yeah
We can talk all we want 2 but the world still goes around and round
Round and round
Ooh, we go round and round and round
And what we're lookin' 4 still isn't found

Can U tell me when we gonna get 2 it?
I'm tired of foolin' around, said I want 2 do it, ooh
I learned my lesson young, said if U wanna have fun - go 4 it
And when U win, say "I knew it"

Nothin' comes from dreamers but dreams
I say sittin' idle in our boat while everyone else is down the stream
Nothin' comes from talkers but sound
Ooh, we can talk all we want 2 but the world still goes around and round...
Round and round
We go round and round and round
And what we're lookin' 4 still isn't found

One day I'll make it in the big city
And I'll be lookin' 4 a girl who's pretty
One day I'll make a play, and she will say, "Okay"
Cuz I plan 2 be a cool kitty

Round and round

I say nothin' comes from dreamers but dreams
Sittin' idle in our boat while everyone else is down the stream
Nothin' comes from talkers but sound
Ooh, we can talk all we want 2 but the world still goes around and round
Round and round
Ooh, we go round and round and round
And what we're lookin' 4 still isn't found

Round and round we go
Round and round and round and round and round and round we go

(Ah yeah yeah yeah)
Round and round, round and round
Round and round we go
Round and round

You know, I may have posted this already, but the refrain runs in my head:


TOO MUCH INFORMATION
RUNNIN' THROUGH MY BRAIN
TOO MUCH INFORMATION
DRIVING ME INSANE

Repeat ad infinitum, and credit the rock gods "The Police" :D


And Wayward and Gemini, I'd like to second your choices- ANYTHING on Choirgirl Hotel, Boys for Pele, or any Prince album will do just fine for me. :cool:

OK, had to put this song...I can equate it to when I finally was put on meds....and could make sense of things...and look at the past with better "eyes" and had more hope for the future...

THIS IS THE MOMENT - Jekyll and Hyde the Musical

This is the moment!
This is the day,
When I send all my doubts and demons
On their way!

Every endeavor,
I have made - ever -
Is coming into play,
Is here and now - today!

This is the moment,
This is the time,
When the momentum and the moment
Are in rhyme!

Give me this moment -
This precious chance -
I'll gather up my past
And make some sense at last!

This is the moment,
When all I've done -
All the dreaming,
Scheming and screaming,
Become one!

This is the day -
See it sparkle and shine,
When all I've lived for
Becomes mine!

For all these years,
I've faced the world alone,
And now the time has come
To prove to them
I've made it on my own!

This is the moment -
My final test -
Destiny beckoned,
I never reckoned,
Second Best!

I won't look down,
I must not fall!
This is the moment,
The sweetest moment of them all!

This is the moment!
Damn all the odds!
This day, or never,
I'll sit forever
With the gods!

When I look back,
I will always recall,
Moment for moment,
This was the moment,
The greatest moment
Of them all!

Also, this song is cool because it speaks to me about ADD confusion, and BPDer's feelings of lack of identity...

NO ONE KNOWS WHO I AM - Jekyll and Hyde the Musical

Look at me,
And tell me who I am.
Why I am
What I am.

Call me a fool,
And it's true I am.
I don't know
Who I am.

It's such a shame,
I'm such a sham.
No one knows
Who I am.

Am I the face of the future?
Am I the face of the past?
Am I the one who must finish last?

Look at me,
And tell me who I am,
Why I am
What I am.

Will I survive?
Who will give a damn,
If no one knows
Who I am?

Nobody knows -
Not even you -
No one knows who I am...

I think that this is something many of us can relate to.....

A NEW LIFE - Jekyll and Hyde the Musical

A New Life -
What I wouldn't give
To have a new life!
One thing I have learned
As I go through life:
Nothing is for free
Along the way!

A new start -
That's the thing I need,
To give me new heart -
Half a chance in life
To find a new part,
Just a simple role
That I can play.

A new hope -
Something to convince me
To renew hope!
A new day,
Bright enough
To help me find my way!

A new chance -
One that maybe has
A touch of romance.
Where can it be,
The chance for me?

A new dream -
I have one I know
That very few dream!
I would like to see
That overdue dream -
Even though
It never may come true!
A new love -
Though I know there's no
Such thing as true love -
Even so,
Although I never knew love,
Still I feel that
One dream is my due!

A new world -
This one thing I want
To ask of you, world -
Once! - Before it's time
To say adieu, world!
One sweet chance to
Prove the cynics wrong!

A new life -
More and more, I'm sure,
As I go through life,
Just to play the game -,
And to pursue life -
Just to share its pleasures,
And belong! -
That's what I've been here for,
All along!
Each day's
A brand new life!

LOL had to put this next one....I think you will all understand this one well, especially us procrastinators who wait till the last minute to do stuff!!!

Excerpt from "Racing with the clock" - The Pajama Game Musical

Hurry up, hurry up, hurry up, hurry up
Can't waste time, can't waste time, can't waste time, can't waste time
When you're racing with the clock
When you're racing with the clock
And the second hand doesn't understand
That your back may break and your fingers ache
And your constitution isn't made of rock

It's a losing race when you're racing with the
Racing racing racing with the clock

ON mental chaos.....

The Wondrous Boat Ride - Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory


Round the world and home again
That's the sailor's way
Faster faster, faster faster

There's no earthly way of knowing
Which direction we are going
There's no knowing where we're rowing
Or which way the river's flowing

Is it raining, is it snowing
Is a hurricane a-blowing

Not a speck of light is showing
So the danger must be growing
Are the fires of Hell a-glowing
Is the grisly reaper mowing

Yes, the danger must be growing
For the rowers keep on rowing
And they're certainly not showing
Any signs that they are slowing

Elsewhere
Sarah McLachlan

I love the time and in between
the calm inside me
in the space where I can breathe
I believe there is a
distance I have wandered
to touch upon the years of
reaching out and reaching in
holding out holding in

I believe
this is heaven to no one else but me
and I'll defend it as long as I can be
left here to linger in silence
if I choose to
would you try to understand

I know this love is passing time
passing through like liquid
I am drunk in my desire...
but I love the way you smile at me
I love the way your hands reach out and hold me near...
I believe...

I believe
this is heaven to no one else but me
and I'll defend it as long as
I can be left here to linger in silence
if I choose to
would you try to understand

Oh the quiet child awaits the day when she can break free
the mold that clings like desperation
Mother can't you see I've got
to live my life the way I feel is right for me
might not be right for you but it's right for me...
I believe...

I believe
this is heaven to no one else but me
and I'll defend it as long as
I can be left here to linger in silence
if I choose to
would you try to understand it

I would like to linger here in silence
if I choose to
would you understand it
would you try to understand...

Linkin Pars songsa coming up:

Somewhere I belong

When this began
I had nothing to say
And I'd get lost in the nothingness inside of me
I was confused
And I'd let it all out to find
That I'm not the only person with these things in mind
Inside of me
When all the vacancy the words revealed
Is the only real thing that I've got left to feel
Nothing to loose
Just stuck, hollow and alone
And the fault is my own and the fault is my own

I wanna heal
I wanna feel
What I thought was never real
I want to let go of the pain I felt so long
Erase all the pain till its gone
I wanna heal
I wanna feel
Like Im close to something real
I want to find something I've wanted all along
Somewhere I belong

And I've got nothing to say
I can't believe I didnt fall right down on my face
I was confused
Looking everwhere only to find
That it's not the way I had imagined it all in my mind
So what am I
What do I have but negativity
Cause I cant justify the way everyone is looking at me
Nothing to loose
Nothing to gain, hollow and alone
And the fault is my own and the fault is my own

I wanna heal
I wanna feel
What I thought was never real
I want to let go of the pain I felt so long
Erase all the pain til its gone
I wanna heal
I wanna feel
Like Im close to something real
I want to find something Ive wanted all along
Somewhere I belong

I will never know
Myself until I do this on my own
And I will never feel
Anything else, until my wounds are healed
I will never be anything
till I break away from me
I will break away
I'll find myself today

I wanna heal
I wanna feel
What I thought was never real
I want to let go of the pain I felt so long
Erase all the pain till it's gone
I wanna heal
I wanna feel
Like Im close to something real
I want to find something Ive wanted all along
Somewhere I belong

I wanna heal
I wanna feel
I wanna feel like I'm somewhere I belong

I wanna heal
I wanna feel
I wanna feel like I'm somewhere I belong

Somewhere I belong

Numb

I'm tired of being what you want me to be
feeling so faithless
lost under the surface
I don't know what you're expecting of me
put under the pressure
of walking in your shoes

[caught in the undertow / just caught in the undertow]
every step that I take is another mistake to you
[caught in the undertow / just caught in the undertow]

I've
become so numb
I can't feel you there
become so tired
so much more aware
I'm becoming this
all I want to do
is be more like me
and be less like you

can't you see that you're smothering me
holding too tightly
afraid to lose control
cause everything that you thought I would be
has fallen apart right in front of you

[caught in the undertow / just caught in the undertow]
every step that I take is another mistake to you
[caught in the undertow / just caught in the undertow]
and every second I waste is more than I can take

I've
become so numb
I can't feel you there
become so tired
so much more aware
I'm becoming this
all I want to do
is be more like me
and be less like you

And I know
I may end up failing too
But I know
You were just like me with someone disappointed in you

I've
become so numb
I can't feel you there
become so tired
so much more aware
I'm becoming this
all I want to do
is be more like me
and be less like you

I've become so numb
I can't feel you there
Is everything what you want me to be
I've become so numb
I can't feel you there
Is everything what you want me to be

Linkin Park Lyrics



Crawling

crawling in my skin
these wounds they will not heal
fear is how I fall
confusing what is real


there's something inside me that pulls beneath the surface
consuming/confusing
this lack of self-control I fear is never ending
controlling/I can't seem


to find myself again
my walls are closing in
(without a sense of confidence and I'm convinced that there's just too much pressure to take)
I've felt this way before
so insecure

crawling in my skin
these wounds they will not heal
fear is how I fall
confusing what is real

discomfort, endlessly has pulled itself upon me
distracting/reacting
against my will I stand beside my own reflection
it's haunting how I can't seem...

to find myself again
my walls are closing in
(without a sense of confidence and I'm convinced that there's just too much pressure to take)
I've felt this way before
so insecure

crawling in my skin
these wounds they will not heal
fear is how I fall
confusing what is real

crawling in my skin
these wounds they will not heal
fear is how I fall
confusing confusing what is real

there's something inside me that pulls beneath the surface
consuming/confusing what is real
this lack of self-control I fear is never ending
controlling/confusing what is real

Welcome to where time stands still
No one leaves and no one will
Moon is full, never seems to change
Just labeled mentally deranged
Dream the same every night
I see our freedom in my sight
No locked doors, no windows barred
No things to make my brain seem scarred

Sleep my friend and you will see
That dream is my reality
They keep me locked up in this cage
Can't they see it's why my brain says rage

Sanatarium, leave me be
Sanatarium, just leave me alone

Build my fear of what's out there
And cannot breathe the open air
Whisper things into my brain
Assuring me that I'm insane
They think our heads are in their hands
But violent use brings violent plans
Keep him tied, it makes him well
He's getting better, can't you tell??

No more can they keep us in
Listen, damn it, we will win
They see right, they see it well
But they think this saves us from our hell

Sanatarium, leave me be
Sanatarium, just leave me alone
Sanatarium, just leave me alone

Fear of living on
Natives getting restless now
Mutiny in the air
Got some death to do
Mirror stares back hard

Snippets from Duran Duran songs....

"The Reflex"
Every little thing the reflex does
Leaves you answered with a question mark

"Ordinary World"
But I won't cry for yesterday
There's an ordinary world
Somehow I have to find
And as I try to make my way
To the ordinary world
I will learn to survive

"Wild Boys"
They tried to tame you
Looks like they'll try again
Wild boys never lose it
Wild boys never chose this way
Wild boys never close your eyes
Wild boys always shine

Hmmmm Snippets eh...never thought of that LOL!!!!!

How about...Korn-Forsaken

"You see I can not be Forsaken,
Because I'm not the only one.
We walk amongst you
*not going to repeat*
Must we Hide from Everyone.

I'm over it
Why can't we be together
Embrace it
Sleeping so long
Taking off the mask
At last, I see

My fear is fading
I can't speak it
Or else you will dig my grave
You feel them finding
Always whining
Take my hand now
Be alive

Korn ...Not Meant For Me ---Oh Yea...this Is Perfect!!!!!!

You think you're smart, you're not!
it's plain to see that you want me to
fall of!
It's killing me!
let's see, you got the goal,
come take it all!

The jury is coming, coming to tare me apart!
all this *****ing and moaning!
Come on it's ours!

i'm trapped in this world!
lonely and fading,
heart broke and waiting
for you to come!
We're stuck in this world!
Thats not ment for me, for me!

so what you got, one last shot
it seems to me, that your not needed
Come on it's killing me!
let's see, you got the goal,
come take it all!
The jury is coming, coming to tear me apart!
All this *****ing and moaning!
Come on, it's ours!

I'm trapped in this world!
lonely and fading!
heart broke and waiting,
for you to come!
We are stuck in this world!
There's nothing for me, for me!

Song: Did My Time

Lyrics :

Realized I can never win
Sometimes I feel like I have failed
Inside where do I begin
My mind is laughing at me
Tell me why am I to blame
Arent we suppose to be the same
Thats why I will never change
This thing thats burning in me

I am the one who chose my path
I am the one who couldnt last
I am alive full of pain
I feel the anger changing me

Sometimes I can never tell
If I got something to help the pain
Thats why I just beg and plead
For this curse to leave me
Tell me why am I to blame
Arent we suppose to be the same
Thats why I will never change
This thing thats burning in me

I am the one who chose my path
I am the one who couldnt last
I am alive full of pain
I feel the anger changing me

Beaten
I feel so
Insane
I really
Tried
I did my time
I did my time
I did my time
I did my time
I did my time

I am the one who chose my path
I am the one who couldnt last
I feel alive full of pain
I feel the anger changing me

O god the angers changing me
O god the angers changing me

Can anyone Else Relate........I CAN TOTALLY!!!!!!

...I'm may be dating myself with this song, but the lyrics (especially the 1st few lines and the chorus) always seemed to explain how I (as an ADD-inattentive) feel most of the time (sans heroin!)

Comfortably Numb--Pink Floyd

(1st lines)

Hello?
Is there anybody in there?
Just nod if you can hear me.
Is there anyone at home?

(end chorus)

There is no pain you are receding
A distant ship, smoke on the horizon.
You are only coming through in waves.
Your lips move but i can't hear what you're saying.
When i was a child
I caught a fleeting glimpse
Out of the corner of my eye.
I turned to look but it was gone
I cannot put my finger on it now
The child is grown,
The dream is gone.
I have become comfortably numb.

The entire cast is ADD, their theme song speaks to that:

Where am I goin' I don't know
When will I get there I ain't certain
All I know is I am on my way

Got a dream boy
Got a song
Paint Your Wagon
And come along....

See, terrible with directions, poor planning, impulsive, terrible with time, daydreamer and a bit flighty, completely lacking responsibility.

It's interesting what people hyperfocus on. I love music and theater but I do not have the patience to learn lyrics or memorize the groups they belong to for popular songs. I can't hear them well, can't follow them, can't retain them either. A bit frustrating.

Playing with the Boys- From Top Gun, by Kenny Loggins

I'd say it was the right time to walk away
When dreamin takes you nowhere
It's time to play
Bodies workin overtime
Your money don't matter
The time keeps tickin
When someone's on your mind...on your mind

I'm movin in slow motion
Feels so good
It's a strange anticipation
Knock, knock, knockin on wood
Bodies workin overtime
Man against man
And all that ever matters is baby who's ahead in the game
Funny but it's always the same

(Chorus)
Playin, playin with the boys
Stayin, playin with the boys
After chasin sunsets
One of life's simple joys
Is playin with the boys

Said it was the wrong thing for me to do
I said it's just a boys' game
But girls play too
My heart is workin overtime
In this kind of game
People get hurt
I'm thinkin that the people is me
If you wanna find me I'll be

(Chorus)
Playin, playin with the boys
Stayin, playin with the boys
After chasin sunsets
One of life's simple joys
Is playin with the boys

I don't wanna be the moth around your fire
I don't wanna be obsessed by my desire
I'm ready, I'm leavin
I've seen enough
You play too rough

(Chorus)
Playin, playin with the boys
Stayin, playin with the boys
After chasin sunsets
One of life's simple joys
Is playin with the boys

Check, check, check check, check, check, check, check out reality

Special
You think you're special
You do
I can see it in your eyes
I can see it when you laugh at me
Look down on me
and walk around on me
Just one more fight
About your leadership
And I will straight up
Leave your ****
Cause I've had enough of this
And now I'm ****ed

Yeah
This time I'm 'a let it all come out
This time I'm 'a stand up and shout
I'm 'a do things my way
It's my way
My way, or the highway

This time I'm 'a let it all come out
This time I'm 'a stand up and shout
I'm 'a do things my way
It's my way
My way, or the highway

Check out, check check, check out reality x2
Check, check out, check, check out, check, check, check out reality

Just one more fight
About a lot of things
And I will give up everything
To be on my own again
Free again

Yeah
This time I'm 'a let it all come out
This time I'm 'a stand up and shout
I'm 'a do things my way
It's my way
My way, or the highway

This time I'm 'a let it all come out
This time I'm 'a stand up and shout
I'm 'a do things my way
It's my way
My way, or the highway

Some day you'll see things my way
Cause you never know
no, you never know
When you're gonna go

Some day you'll see things my way
Cause you never know
no, you never know
When you're gonna go

Check, check out, check, check out, check out reality x3

Just one more fight
And I'll be history
Yes I will straight up
Leave your ****
And you'll be the one who's left
Missing me

Yeah
This time I'm 'a let it all come out
This time I'm 'a stand up and shout
I'm 'a do things my way
It's my way
My way, or the highway

This time I'm 'a let it all come out
This time I'm 'a stand up and shout
I'm 'a do things my way
It's my way
My way, or the highway

Some day you'll see things my way
Cause you never know
no, you never know
When you're gonna go

Some day you'll see things my way
Cause you never know
no, you never know
When you're gonna go

Check out, check, check out, check, check out, check , check out -reality
Check out, check, check out, check, check out, check
Check out, check, check out, check, check out, check , check out... reeaaliityy

A Million Miles Away
Klaatu

They used to tell me that I was just a fool
Dreaming away my time
But they soon found the more they put me down
The more I blocked them from my mind
I used to get my teacher so uptight
He'd always have to ask his questions twice

I'd be a million miles away
Drifting through time and space
I was a million miles away from any place
I was a million miles away
In a world of my own
A million miles away to parts unknown
I'd be gone

My end-of-term reports would always show
I did pretty well at school
But I kept them hid from all the other kids
I didn't want to seem uncool
My homeroom teacher didn't understand
The reason why I never raised my hand

I was a million miles away
In a world of my own
A million miles away in parts unknown
I'd be gone

I've flown across the galaxies
And been to Berkeley Square
I've passed the time with Sophocles
But never left my chair

But I'm a million miles away
Drifting through time and space
A million miles away from any place
A million miles away
I've built a world all my own
A million miles away to parts unknown
I'd be gone
A million miles away

Definitely ADD!!

"21st Century (Digital Boy)"

I can't believe it, the way you look sometimes
Like a trampled flag on a city street, oh yeah
And I don't want it, the things you're offering me
Symbolized bar code, quick ID, oh yeah

Cuz I'm a 21st century digital boy
I don't know how to live but I've got a lot of toys
My daddy's a lazy middle class intellectual
My mommy's on valium, so ineffectual
Ain't life a mystery?

I can't explain it, the things you're saying to me
It's going yayayayayayaya, oh yeah

Cuz I'm a 21st century digital boy
I don't know how to read but I've got a lot of toys
My daddy's a lazy middle class intellectual
My mommy's on valium, so ineffectual
Ain't life a mystery?

Tried to tell you about no control
But now I really don't know
And then you told me how bad you had to suffer
Is that really all you have to offer?

Cuz I'm a 21st century digital boy
I don't know how to live but I've got a lot of toys
My daddy's a lazy middle class intellectual
My mommy's on valium, so ineffectual
Ain't life a mystery?

Say wrong
I won't say anything...anyway
Fake can be just as good

Place you've never been
Patience on the way
Place you've never been
No way...anyway

Why then
You renew in so many ways
How far
Fake can be no flaw on the way
I know
I'm just a flaw...anyway
so I
**** some space...and come back

I know good walk away
I need to shut away
What I throw away
I want your way

I know I get away anyway
I know it's hard to get ahead, boy

Say wrong
I won't say anything...anyway
Fake can be just as good

Place you've never been
Patience on the way
Place you've never been
No way...anyway

I know a man is somewhere..where?
Here I am, shot it again

I know you'd walk away
I need to shout away
What I throw away
I want your way

My Secret Origin
Ookla The Mok

There was a boy who knew he could be anything that he wanted to.
Everybody told him he had a singular destiny.
Everybody said he'd go far
Everybody said he'd be a star.
They said he could be anything he wanted to be
Then he turned into me.
Now it seems increasingly unlikely that I'm gonna grow up to be Luke Skywalker
Not gonna be Indiana Jones.
And after all this time it's probably not gonna turn out that I’m the super-powered heir to a world that isn't there anymore.
But somebody told me I was special.
Somebody told me that I could be anything I wanted to be.
How could they have known the dreams I had were not the dreams they had for me?
They said I could be what I wanted
They had no idea what I wanted.
And I don't mean to seem ungrateful for all their encouragement and praise.
I just meant to say that I don't intend to stay and spend another wasted year
Cause at the end I bet I'd still be sitting here wasting time and waiting.
I'm waiting for my Lady of the Lake to come and crown me King.
I'm waiting for my rocket to land so I can get my power ring.
I'm waiting for my radioactive meteorite to fall.
I'm waiting but I ain’t got no meteorite at all.
I'm waiting for my story to begin.
I'm waiting for my
I'm not done.
Don't count me out of it
My story isn't over yet.
I'm not the son of some Roman god
But anyway
I think I'm gonna be okay.
And looking back I find it seems
I've always had unlikely dreams
But I can't let that stop me now,
It's time to grow up anyhow.
And I may not be Hercules
But here's my new philosophy:

Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba
End of Song.

HEAVEN KNOWS I'M MISERABLE NOW /THE SMITHS (you know we have issues with our jobs and this is definitely my song about ALL the jobs i've had:)
I was happy in the haze of a drunken hour
but heaven knows I'm miserable now
I was looking for a job, and then I found a job
and heaven knows I'm miserable now

In my life
why do I give valuable time
to people who don't care if I live or die

Two lovers entwined pass me by
and heaven knows I'm miserable now
I was looking for a job, and then I found a job
and heaven knows I'm miserable now

In my life
why do I give valuable time
to people who don't care if I live or die

What she asked of me at the end of the day
Caligula would have blushed
"You've been the house too long" she said
and I naturally fled

In my life
why do I smile
at people who I'd much rather kick in the eye

I was happy in the haze of a drunken hour
but heaven knows I'm miserable now
"You've been the house too long" she said
and I naturally fled

In my life
why do I give valuable time
to people who don't care if I live or die

DIFFERENT PEOPLE - NO DOUBT

Things can be broken down
In this world of ours
You don’t have to be a famous person
Just to make your mark
A mother can be an inspiration
To here little son
Change his thoughs, his mind, his life,
Just with her gentle hum
So different, yet so the same
Two sisters only have their parents to blame
It’s rare that two can get along
But when they do, they’re inseparable
Such a blessing comes to few

The sky is full of clouds and
My world’s full of people
All different kinds with different ways
It would take a lifetime to explain
No one’s exactly the same

He and she, two different people
With two separate lives
Then you put the two together
And get a spectacular surprise
’cause one can teach the other one
What she doesn’t know
While still the other fills a place inside
He never knew had room to grow

Chorus
Once in a while I sit back
And think about the planet
Most of the time I trip on it
To kick back and think about
How massive it all is
And how many others are one it

I often think about the world
In which I live today, of animals and plants
And nature’s gift set on display
But the most amazing thing
That I’ve seen in my time
Are all the different people
And all their different minds
And different ways
It would take a lifetime to explain
Not one’s exactly the same

So many different people
So many different kinds
So many different people
So many different kinds
Look at me, I’m a person
Look at me, I’m my own person
So many different people
So many different kinds
For better or for worse, different people

What About Me

Well there's a little boy waiting at the counter of the corner shop
He's been waiting down there, waiting half the day,
They never ever see him from the top
He gets pushed around, knocked to the ground,
He gets to his feet and he says...

CHORUS:
What about me? It isn't fair
I've had enough, now I want my share
Can't you see, I wanna live
But you just take more than you give

Well, there's a pretty girl serving at the counter of the corner shop
She's been waiting back there, waiting for a dream,
Her dreams walk in and out, they never stop
Well, she's not too proud, to cry out loud
She runs to the street and she screams...

CHORUS

More than you give...

Take a step back and see the little people
They might be young, but they're the ones that make the big people big
So listen as they whisper:
"What about me?"

And now I'm standing on the corner, all the world's gone home
Nobody's changed, nobody's been saved
And I'm feeling cold and alone
I guess I'm lucky, I smile a lot
But sometimes I wish for more than I've got...

CHORUS

What about me?
What about me?
What about....me?

Had Enough Of You Today

by Blackie and the Rodeo Kings

I'm ugly, I'm lazy
I'm always there to take the blame
I'm a drag but
You'll never find out
Just push me around and I'll walk away

I'm a genius
I can't get straight
There's supernatural in my hair
Space invaders
All around me
Freak me out when I get down there.

I'm getting lost before I get found out
I'm getting old before my time
And it's too late

So shut up I'll give up when I want to
Just shut up I'm not listening to you
Say anything 'cause it don't mean nothing
I've had enough of you today
I've had enough of you today

Now don't try me
I'm so turned on
I'm in the game to break some eggs
I'm not a loser, I'm a time bomb
A superstar who always gets his way.

So shut up I'll give up when I want to
Just shut up I'm not listening to you
Say anything "cause it don;t mean nothing I've had enough of you today
I've had enough of you today

Comfortably numb was recently redone by Scissor Sisters.

Breaking the Habit - Linkin Park

Memories concern
Like opening the wound
I'm picking me apart again
You all assume
I'm safer in my room
Unless I try to start again

I don't want to be the one
Who battles always choose
Cuz inside I realize
That I'm the one confused

I don't know what's worth fighting for
Or why I have to scream
I don't know why I instigate
And say what I don't mean
I don't know how I got this way
I know it's not alright
So I'm breaking the habit
I'm breaking the habit tonight

Cultured my cure
I tightly lock the door
I try to catch my breath again
I hurt much more
Than anytime before
I have no options left again.

I dont want to be the one
Who battles always choose
Cuz inside I realize
That I'm the one confused.

I don't know what's worth fighting for
Or why I have to scream
I don't know why I instigate
And say what I don't mean
I don't know how I got this way
I'll never be alright
So, I'm breaking the habit
I'm breaking the habit tonight

I'll paint it on the walls
Cuz I'm the one that falls
I'll never fight again
And this is how it ends

I don't know what's worth fighting for
Or why I have to scream
I don't know why I instigate
And say what I don't mean
I don't know how I got this way
I'll never be alright
So, I'm breaking the habit
I'm breaking the habit tonight.

Bring Me To Life
Evanescence

How can you see into my eyes like open doors?
Leading you down into my core
Where I've become so numb

Without a soul
My spirit's sleeping somewhere cold
Until you find it there and
Lead it back home

CHORUS:
[wake me up] Wake me up inside
[I can't wake up] Wake me up inside
[Save me] Call my name and save me from the dark
[Wake me up] Bid my blood to run
[I can't wake up] Before I come undone
[Save me] Save me from the nothing I've become

Now that I know what I'm without
You cant just leave me
Breathe into me and {make me real}
Bring me
To life

CHORUS:
[wake me up] Wake me up inside
[I can't wake up] Wake me up inside
[Save me] Call my name and save me from the dark
[Wake me up] Bid my blood to run
[I can't wake up] Before I come undone
[Save me] Save me from the nothing Ive become

{Bring me to life}
[I've been living a lie... There's nothing inside]
{Bring me to life}

Frozen inside without your touch
Without your love, darling
Only you are the life among the dead

[All of this I, I can't believe I couldnt see
Kept in the dark, but you were there in front of me]

I've been sleeping a thousand years it seems
Got to open my eyes to everything

[Without a thought, without a voice, without a soul]
{Don't let me die here}(You must be sacrificed)
Bring me to life

CHORUS:
[wake me up] Wake me up inside
[I can't wake up] Wake me up inside
[Save me] Call my name and save me from the dark
[Wake me up] Bid my blood to run
[I can't wake up] Before I come undone
[Save me] Save me from the nothing I've become

Bring me to life
[I've been living a lie.. There's nothing inside]
Bring me to life

Real World
Matchbox 20

I wonder what it’s like to be the rainmaker
I wonder what it’s like to know that I made the rain
I’d store it in boxes with little yellow tags on everyone
And you can come and see them when i’m...done, when I’m done

I wonder what it’s like to be a super hero
I wonder where I’d go if I could fly around downtown
From some other planet, I get this funky high on yellow sun
Boy I bet my friends will all be...stunned, they’re stunned
(chorus)
Straight up, what did you hope to learn about here
If I were someone else, would this all fall apart
Strange, where were you, when we started this gig,
I wish the real world, would just stop hassling me

I wonder what it’s like to be the head honcho
I wonder what I’d do if they all did just what I said
I’d shout out an order, I think we’re out of this man get me some
Boy don’t make me wanna change my...tone, my tone
(chorus)

Please don’t change, please don’t break
The only thing that seems to work at all is you
Please don’t change, at all from me
To you, and you to me
(chorus)

"Things were spinnin' round me
And all my thoughts were cloudy
And I had begun to doubt all the things that were me."

Jim Croce
New Yorks Not My Home

Love my way, Psychadelic Furs

there's an army
on the dancefloor
it's a fashion
with a gun my love
in a room
without a door
a kiss is not enough

in
love my way
it's a new road
i follow where
my mind goes

they'd put us
on a railroad
they'd dearly
make us pay
for laughing
in their faces
and making it our way
there's emptiness
behind their eyes
there's dust
in all their hearts
they just want to
steal us all
and take us all apart

but not in
love my way
it's a new road
i follow where
my mind goes

swallow all your tears my love
put on your new face
you can never win or lose
if you don't run the race

Given to Fly, Pearl Jam

He could have tuned in, tuned in, but he tuned out
A bad time, nothing could save him
Alone in a corridor, waiting, locked out
He got up out of there ran for hundreds of miles...
He made it to the ocean
Had a smoke in a tree
The wind rose up, set him down on his knees

A wave came crashing like a fist to the jaw
Delivered him wings - "Hey, look at me now"
Arms wide open with the sea as his floor
Oh! He's FLYING! Oh, HIGH! WIDE! Oh...

He floated back down cause he wanted to share
His key to the locks on the chains he saw everywhere
But first he was stripped, and then he was stabbed
By faceless men, well ****ers... he still stands.

And he still gives his love, he just gives it away...
The love he recieves is the love that is saved
And sometimes is seen a strange spot in the sky
A human being that was given to fly
He's FLYING! Oh, HIGH! WIDE!
He's FLYING!

Simple Plan Lyrics

Perfect Lyrics



Hey dad look at me
Think back and talk to me
Did I grow up according to plan?
And do you think I'm wasting my time doing things I wanna do?
But it hurts when you disapprove all along

And now I try hard to make it
I just want to make you proud
I'm never gonna be good enough for you
I can't pretend that
I'm alright
And you can't change me

'Cuz we lost it all
Nothing lasts forever
I'm sorry
I can't be perfect
Now it's just too late and
We can't go back
I'm sorry
I can't be perfect

I try not to think
About the pain I feel inside
Did you know you used to be my hero?
All the days you spent with me
Now seem so far away
And it feels like you don't care anymore

And now I try hard to make it
I just want to make you proud
I'm never gonna be good enough for you
I can't stand another fight
And nothing's alright

'Cuz we lost it all
Nothing lasts forever
I'm sorry
I can't be perfect
Now it's just too late and
We can't go back
I'm sorry
I can't be perfect

Nothing's gonna change the things that you said
Nothing's gonna make this right again
Please don't turn your back
I can't believe it's hard
Just to talk to you
But you don't understand

'Cuz we lost it all
Nothing lasts forever
I'm sorry
I can't be perfect
Now it's just too late and
We can't go back
I'm sorry
I can't be perfect

'Cuz we lost it all
Nothing lasts forever
I'm sorry
I can't be perfect
Now it's just too late and
We can't go back
I'm sorry
I can't be perfect

</TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE>

I don't want to be second best
Don't want to stand in line
Don't want to fall behind
Don't want to get caught out
Don't want to do without
And the lesson I must learn
Is that I've got to wait my turn

Looks like I got to be hot and cold
I got to be taught and told
Got to be good as gold
But perfectly honestly
I think it would be good for me
Coz it's a hindrance to my health
If I'm a stranger to myself

Miniature disasters and minor catastrophoes
Bring me to my knees
Well I must be my own master
Or a miniature disaster will be
It will be the death of me

I don't have to raise my voice
Don't have to be underhand
Just got to understand
That it's gonna be up and down
It's gonna be lost and found
And I can't take to the sky
Before I like it on the ground

And i need to be patient
And i need to be brave
Need to discover
How i need to behave
And I'll find out the answers
When i know what to ask
But i speak a different language
And everybody's talking too fast

Miniature disasters and minor catastrophoes
Bring me to my knees

Well I must be my own master
I've got to run a little faster
I need to know I'll last if a little
Miniature disaster hits me
It could be the death of me

Behind Blue Eyes

No one knows what it's like
To be the bad man
To be the sad man
Behind blue eyes
And no one knows
What it's like to be hated
To be fated to telling only lies

[Chorus:]
But my dreams they aren't as empty
As my conscience seems to be
I have hours, only lonely
My love is vengeance
That's never free

No one knows what its like
To feel these feelings
Like i do, and i blame you!
No one bites back as hard
On their anger
None of my pain and woe
Can show through

[Chorus]


No one knows what its like
To be mistreated, to be defeated
Behind blue eyes
No one knows how to say
That they're sorry and don't worry
I'm not telling lies

[Chorus]

No one knows what its like
To be the bad man, to be the sad man
Behind blue eyes.

I dunno if anyone has posted this one yet...but if not...bout time someone did lol!

''Grey Street'' made me cry!.dude that is exacly how i feel sometimes!(ADD girl:D)

"Carousel"

she can't hide no matter how hard she tries
her secret disguised behind the lies
and at night she crys away her pride
with eyes shut tight staring at her inside
all her friends know why she can't sleep at night
all her family asking is she alright
all she wants to do is get rid of this hell
well all she's got to do is stop kiddin herself
she can only fool herself for so long [x3]
I'm too weak to face me
(she can only fool herself)

[chorus]
i never know just why you run so far away far away from me [x2]

when it comes to how to live his life he can't be told
says he got it all under control
thinks he knows it's not a problem he's stuck with
but in reality it would be a problem to just quit
an addict and he can't hold the reins
the pain is worse cause his friends have it the same
tries to slow down the problem he's got
but can't get off the carousel until he makes it stop
he can only fool himself for so long [x3]
I'm too weak to face me
(he can only fool himself)

[chorus x2]

Fly with me under the wings I gave you,
Try to be closer to me and I'll save you [x2]

[chorus x4]

THE FIRST VERSE RELATES TO ME-I DONT KNOW IF IT RELATES TO AD/HD BUT IT SURE AS H*LL HAS EVERYTHING TO DO WITH ME lol

Ok,
I know im reviving an old thread, so hope I don't irk anyone by it. I mentioned this song in another thread and then I found this thread about Add music. I think this song is perfect here:

My Stupid Mouth - John Mayer

My stupid mouth
Has got me in trouble
I said too much again
To a date over dinner yesterday
And I could see
She was offended
She said "well anyway..."
Just dying for a subject change

Oh, another social casualty
Score one more for me
How could I forget?
Mama said "think before speaking"
No filter in my head
Oh, what's a boy to do
I guess he better find one soon

We bit our lips
She looked out the window
Rolling tiny balls of napkin paper
I played a quick game of chess with the salt and pepper shaker
And I could see clearly
An indelible line was drawn
Between what was good, what just slipped out and what went wrong

Oh, the way she feels about me has changed
Thanks for playing, try again.
How could I forget?
Mama said "think before speaking"
No filter in my head
Oh, what's a boy to do
I guess he better find one

I'm never speaking up again
It only hurts me
I'd rather be a mystery
Than she desert me

Oh I'm never speaking up again
Starting now

One more thing
Why is it my fault?
So maybe I try too hard
But it's all because of this desire
I just wanna be liked
I just wanna be funny
Looks like the jokes on me
So call me captain backfire

Oh, the way she feels about me has changed
Thanks for playing, try again.
How could I forget?
Mama said "think before speaking"
No filter in my head
Oh, what's a boy to do
I guess he better find one

I'm never speaking up again
It only hurts me
I'd rather be a mystery
Than she desert me

Oh I'm never speaking up again
Starting now



...I'm not a guy and I'm not dating, but I always relate to this song. :rolleyes:

Worlds on heroin by all


The World's On Heroin I'm On Strike Against All This Laziness
I Try To Go For All Despite All The Underachievers


From The Government To The Drive Thru Guy
Delayed Results With No Reasons Why
My Only Guess They Must Be High


I Want To Put An End To All Of Them But I Don't Know Where To Begin
Cause I'm Pretty Sure The World's On Heroin


The World's On Heroin Everybody Is Standing In My Way
I Try To Use My Brain But Stupidity Is Thrown In My Face


I'm A Coffee Guy In A Stoner Place
And The World Keeps Turning At A Turtles Pace
Get It Over With Check Into N.A.

I Want To Put An End To All Of Them But I Don't Know Where To Begin
Cause I'm Pretty Sure The Worlds On Heroin


If I Had My Way I'd Prefer If Everyone Was On Speed
I'm So Sick Of The No Can Do And The Failures You Concede
At Any Rate From The Looks Of Things Everyones Nodding Out
But Me


The Worlds On Heroin Too Many Lazy Morons In My Face
The Worlds On Heroin Everybody Acts Like A Zombie


I'm Not Saying That I'm Better Then Them
I Don't Have The Kind Of Time To Spend
With Slacker Types Trying To Be My Friend


I Want To Put An End To All Of Them But I Don't Know Where To Begin
Cause I'm Pretty Sure The Worlds On Heroin


Yeah I'm Pretty Sure The Worlds On Heroin

Bouncing off the Walls by Sugarcult

"Bouncing Off The Walls"

I'm bouncing off the walls again (whoa oh)
I'm looking like a fool again (whoa oh)
I threw away my reputation
One more song for the radio station

I'm bouncing off the walls again (whoa oh)
I'm looking like a fool again (whoa oh)
Waking up on the bathroom floor
Pull myself back together just to fall once more

And my heart's beating out of my chest (whoa oh)
And this town is still making me sick (whoa oh)
And every penny from my last paycheck
I've blown it on you

I'm bouncing off the walls again (whoa oh)
And I'm looking like a fool again (whoa oh)
So go ahead and take a picture
And hang it up so you can tear me down

I don't care (whoa oh, whoa oh)
Cause I'm still here (whoa oh, whoa oh)
And I've got nothing left to lose
With all the years I wasted on you

Mom and Daddy's got the best cocaine
Ritalin's never gonna feel the same
Twenty-four hours on an empty brain
I got my finger on the trigger and your in my way

I'm bouncing off the walls again (whoa oh)
And I'm looking like a fool again (whoa oh)
I threw away my reputation
One more song for the radio station

I'm bouncing off the walls again (whoa oh, whoa oh)
And I'm looking like a fool again (whoa oh, whoa oh)
I'm bouncing off the walls again (whoa oh, whoa oh)
And I'm looking like a fool again
I'm bouncing off the walls again

Being a musician, I thought it would be interesting to know what your favorite ADD-related songs are. The songs don't necessarily have to be 100% ADD related. Obviously songs about sadness, depression, anxiety, anger etc. would fit in this category too! If you don't have the Lyrics to the song, you can often find them online. Try to search for the artist, song, and lyrics, and post them here if possible.
So, to start us off! :)
Here is one of my favorite ADD-related songs!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Song: Good Intentions
By: Toad the wet sprocket

It's hard to rely on my good intentions...
when my head's full of things that I can't mention.
Seems I usually get things right...
but I can't understand what I did last night.

And it's hard to rely on my own good senses...
when I miss so much that requires attention.
I have to laugh at myself sometimes...
and I can see that I'm not blind.

There's little relief...
Give us reprieve...
For all the things I've left behind...
I'm positive that I'm not blind.

I'm not afraid things won't get better...
but it feels like this has gone on forever.
You have to cry with your own blue tears...
have to laugh with your own good cheer.

And it's hard to rely on my good intentions...
when my head's full of things that I can't mention.
Seems I usually get things right...
but I can't understand what I did last night.

There's little relief...
Give us reprieve...
Imagining the world outside...
I'm positive that I'm not blind.

I can't be hard on you...
'cause you know I've been there too...
Learned a lot of things from you...
Oh, but life.

Gives little release...
Give us reprieve...
When everyone is cold as ice...
I clinch my fists and close my eyes...
Imagining the world outside...
and I can see that I'm not blind.

...

Peace,

Hi Seek
Ok I guess mine would be "All I Really Want" by Alanis Morrisette
Here goes:

Do I stress you out
My sweater is on backwards and inside out
And you say how appropriate
I don't want to dissect everything today
I don't mean to pick you apart you see
But I can't help it
There I go jumping before the gunshot has gone off
Slap me with a splintered ruler
And it would knock me to the floor if I wasn't there already
If only I could hunt the hunter<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p></o:p>

<o:p> </o:p>

And all I really want is some patience
A way to calm the angry voice
And all I really want is deliverance
Do I wear you out
You must wonder why I'm so relentless and all strung out
I'm consumed by the chill of solitary
I'm like Estella
I like to reel it in and then spit it out
I'm frustrated by your apathy
And I am frightened by the corrupted ways of this land
If only I could meet the Maker

And I am fascinated by the spiritual man
I am humbled by his humble nature
What I wouldn't give to find a soulmate
Someone else to catch this drift
And what I wouldn't give to meet a kindred
Enough about me, let's talk about you for a minute
Enough about you, let's talk about life for a while
The conflicts, the craziness and the sound of pretenses
Falling all around...all around
Why are you so petrified of silence
Here can you handle this?

Did you think about your bills, your ex, your deadlines
Or when you think you're gonna die
Or did you long for the next distraction
And all I need know is intellectual intercourse
A soul to dig the hole much deeper
And I have no concept of time other than it is flying
If only I could kill the killer

All I really want is some peace man
a place to find a common ground
And all I really want is a wavelength
All I really want is some comfort
A way to get my hands untied
And all I really want is some justice...

NATASHA BEDINGFIELD LYRICS

"These Words"

These words are my own

Threw some chords together
The combination D-E-F
It's who I am, it's what I do
And I was gonna lay it down for you
Try to focus my attention
But I feel so A-D-D
I need some help, some inspiration
(But it's not coming easily)
Whoah oh!

Trying to find the magic
Trying to write a classic
Don't you know, don't you know, don't you know?
Waste-bin full of paper
Clever rhymes, see you later

These words are my own
From my heart flow
I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you
There's no other way
To better say
I love you, I love you...

Read some Byron, Shelly and Keats
Recited it over a Hip-Hop beat
I'm having trouble saying what I mean
With dead poets and drum machines
I know I had some studio time booked
But I couldn't find a killer hook
Now you've gone & raised the bar right up
Nothing I write is ever good enough

These words are my own
From my heart flow
I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you
There's no other way
To better say
I love you, I love you!

I'm getting off my stage
The curtains pull away
No hyperbole to hide behind
My naked soul exposes
Whoah.. oh.. oh.. oh.. Whoah.. oh..

Trying to find the magic
Trying to write a classic
Waste-bin full of paper
Clever rhymes, see you later

These words are my own
From my heart flow
I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you

That's all I got to say,
Can't think of a better way,
And that's all I've got to say,
I love you, is that okay?

Ok I guess mine would be "All I Really Want" by Alanis Morrisette Excellent song ADHDSupport! :)

I really enjoyed that song for the first time today!!! Thank you! :)

I can hardly believe that I missed every one of those ADD-related lyrics when listening to that song over the years, and it was the very 1st song on the CD too! LOL :o

Generally, I tend to be more focused on the song/music structure whenever I listen to music. In fact, when I play, and sing at the same time, the hardest part for me always was remembering the dang lyrics. I've never had a problem hitting the correct notes vocally, or playing the correct chords/notes on guitar, bass, or keyboards. For some reason, remembering the lyrics (when playing an instrument) was always the biggest challenge for me! Even when they were my own lyrics too!!! LOL :D

I think it might have something to do with my dsylexia, or perhaps the ADD, or maybe even both! I don't really know! I always had to make sure that I had the lyrics to all the songs we were going to play in front of me. Otherwise I'd forget the lyrics in the middle of the song and would have to make up some words.
Also, sometimes if I wasn't careful, if I was looking at someone who was singing (lip singing) while we were playing a song, if they would suddenly (incorrectly) start singing the wrong words, that would also mess me up!! LOL :D However, I discovered that generally you could almost always count on the female's knowing the correct lyrics, better than the male's, and just by watching there lips, I could remember the lyrics easier whenever I was playing and singing at the same time!

Dang it!!! I've gotten side tracked again from what I really wanted to write. :o

What I really wanted to write about was...
I understand that just "reading" the lyrics on a page isn't the same as actually "hearing" the song, so I'm going to try and find most of the songs people post in this thread, and then make a "ADD CD" I can listen to. I think that will be a lot of fun! :)
Hopefully, people post more tunes!!!
Anyway, thank you once again for posting. I really enjoyed the tune!

Artist: Natasha Bedingfield
Song: "These Words" Howdy xstarchildx!
Thank you for posting the lyrics to the song "These Words"! :)

Truthfully, you really stumped me with Natasha Bedingfield!! I hadn't heard a single song by her yet! Fortunately, with just a quick search of the net, in hardly any time at all, it was like, *~Poof~*, (Well wadda ya know?) and I found myself on her Webpage listening to the song, "These Words"! :)

I was pleasantly surprised, not only by how pretty she is, but also by the quality of her voice, and her talent as a songwriter as well! She's definitely storming the gates of pop music heaven, and I wouldn’t be surprised if there were better things yet to come with each consecutive CD she releases!

B.T.W. I also liked the song; "I bruise easily" which I also listened to on her Webpage! I wouldn't be surprised if "I bruise easily" also appealed to some of the ADDer crowd too! Simply because Natasha's lyrics appear to come from a more personal and much deeper area of the thought than the lyrics of many of her peers in this specific genre of music! Which is exactly why I found it to be a breath of fresh air. However, I tend to be a little on the eccentric side whenever it comes to the music that I enjoy! I like different, and anything musically different is a good thing in my eyes! :)

However, being a musician, as well as, having ADD, obviously allowed me to relate to the lyrics in "These Words" much easier, so therefore I enjoyed it the most! It's actually a nice, up beat, funky little dance tune, that may help mix things up music-wise, and create a more diverse and entertaining CD compilation of all the ADD-related music I'm still hoping our members will post in this thread! Well, hopefully I get around to making a CD compilation some time! I've finally learned it's better not to promise anything if you have ADD!! LOL :D
Well, before my post gets any longer, I better call it quits!!! LOL :D

Thank you once again for the tune xstarchildx! :)
Sincerely,
*~ §EEK ~*

Ok, here is another song I really like! :)

---------------------------------------
Song: "Let Your Soul Be Your Pilot".
Artist: Sting.
---------------------------------------

Let your soul be your pilot.
Let your soul guide you.
He'll guide you well.

When you're down and they're counting.
When your secrets all found out.
When your troubles take to mounting.
When the map you have leads you to doubt.
When there's no information.
And the compass turns.
To nowhere that you know well.

Let your soul be your pilot.
Let your soul guide you.
He'll guide you well.

When the doctors failed to heal you.
When no medicine chest can make you well.
When no counsel leads to comfort.
When there are no more lies they can tell.
No more useless information.
And the compass spins.
The compass spins.
Between heaven and hell.

Let your soul be your pilot.
Let your soul guide you.
He'll guide you well.

And your eyes turn towards the window pane.
To the lights upon the hill.
The distance seems so strange to you now.
And the dark room seems so still.

Let your pain be my sorrow.
Let your tears be my tears too.
Let your courage be my model.
That the north you find will be true.
When there's no information.
And the compass turns.
To nowhere that you know well.

Let your soul be your pilot.
Let your soul guide you.
Let your soul guide you.
Let your soul guide you.
Upon your way...

-----------------------------------

I love that tune! :)

"Locomotive Breath"

In the shuffling madness
Of the locomotive breath,
Runs the all-time loser,
Headlong to his death.
He feels the piston scraping --
Steam breaking on his brow --
Old Charlie stole the handle and
The train won't stop going --
No way to slow down.
He sees his children jumping off
At the stations -- one by one.
His woman and his best friend --
In bed and having fun.
He's crawling down the corridor
On his hands and knees --
Old Charlie stole the handle and
The train won't stop going --
No way to slow down.
He hears the silence howling --
Catches angels as they fall.
And the all-time winner
Has got him by the balls.
He picks up Gideon's Bible --
Open at page one --
God stole the handle and
The train won't stop going --
No way to slow down.

"My Back Pages"

Crimson flames tied through my ears
Rollin' high and mighty traps
Pounced with fire on flaming roads
Using ideas as my maps
"We'll meet on edges, soon," said I
Proud 'neath heated brow
Ah, but I was so much older then
I'm younger than that now.

Half-cracked prejudice leaped forth
"Rip down all hate," I screamed
Lies that life is black and white
Spoke from my skull, I dreamed
Romantic facts of musketeers
Foundationed deep, somehow
Ah, but I was so much older then
I'm younger than that now.

Girls' faces formed the forward path
From phony jealousy
To memorizing politics
Of ancient history
Flung down by corpse evangelists
Unthought of, thought, somehow
Ah, but I was so much older then
I'm younger than that now.

A self-ordained professor's tongue
Too serious to fool
Spouted out that liberty
Is just equality in school
"Equality," I spoke the word
As if a wedding vow
Ah, but I was so much older then
I'm younger than that now.

In a soldier's stance, I aimed my hand
At the mongrel dogs who teach
Fearing not that I'd become my enemy
In the instant that I preach
My existence led by confusion boats
Mutiny from stern to bow
Ah, but I was so much older then
I'm younger than that now.

Yes, my guard stood hard when abstract threats
Too noble to neglect
Deceived me into thinking
I had something to protect
Good and bad, I define these terms
Quite clear, no doubt, somehow
Ah, but I was so much older then
I'm younger than that now.


Now this one suits me better in light of being an adult DX ADD.

Tons eh? Kewl! Post away then!!! I've been holding back waiting for others to start posting! Please post as many as you can think of! I really enjoy it!

Oh, But, dont' forget to post who the artist are! :) K?? :D

Thanks again,
*~ §EEK ~*.

LOL! I already have a thread dedicated to this in the Journaling forum, please pop in and feel free to PM me :D. Yes, tons, literally, I do this constantly.

The above belongs to Bob Dylan, but I prefer the version done by The Byrds, Dave Crosby's guitar is impossible to beat on this song.

Bouncing off The Walls by Sugarcult

I'm bouncing off the walls again (whoa oh)
I'm looking like a fool again (whoa oh)
I threw away my reputation
One more song for the radio station

I'm bouncing off the walls again (whoa oh)
I'm looking like a fool again (whoa oh)
Waking up on the bathroom floor
Pull myself back together just to fall once more

And my heart's beating out of my chest
And this town is still making me sick
And every penny from my last paycheck
I've blown it on you

I'm bouncing off the walls again (whoa oh)
And I'm looking like a fool again (whoa oh)
So go ahead and take a picture
And hang it up so you can tear me down

I don't care
Cause I'm still here
And I've got nothing left to lose
With all the years I wasted on you

Momma and Daddy's got the best cocaine
Ritalin's never gonna feel the same
Twenty-four hours on an empty brain
I got my finger on the trigger and your in my way

I'm bouncing off the walls again (whoa oh)
And I'm looking like a fool again (whoa oh)
I threw away my reputation
One more song for the radio station

I'm bouncing off the walls again
And I'm looking like a fool again
I'm bouncing off the walls again
And I'm looking like a fool again
I'm bouncing off the walls again

probably .45 by the shine, i believe that it comes under the depression category.

it's sung really well, the guy has a great voice, it's quite a unique sounding song as well, i don't think i've heard many that come close to it.

i'ld recommend it to anyone

Oddly enough, I often find songs from console video games suiting my mood as well. How ADD is that? :D

<center>Nothing's Changed

by, The Calling</center> <center>It was a day just like this
In a life of our times
Shrugging signs there's no chance for us
It's not mine to decide
You never listened to what I said
you never thought I'd succeed
And though I've given you all I can
You show no faith in me</center> <center>
And I remember, and I recall
And I can see that nothing's changed at all
Though we falter, we don't have to fall
And I can see that nothing's changed at all
Even when I was you
And the pressure was on
You always told me to do my thing
So what the hell went wrong</center> <center>
An outcast coming home, opinions stay the same
They'll spit them out and spin me right back through the door
The louder that we scream, the more invisible we seem
Is it gonna last forever
Now I'm learning the lies
From the skies where they reign
Can't find shelter for myself
And you're all to blame</center> <center>
</center>

Very cool tunes my friends!! Now you all are really rockin'! I'm happier than a two tailed puppy! I thought this song would be a fitting tribute to this thread!!

Song: "Hold On"
Artist: Triumph
-------------------------

Music holds the secret,
To know it can make you whole
It's not just a game of notes,
It's the sound inside your soul
The magic of the melody
Runs through you like a stream
The notes that play flow through your head
Like a dream
Like a dream
Like a dream

I sing this song for the common man
For the people in despair
I bring my song into the world
And I sing it everywhere
The simple truth lies waiting here
For everyone to share
So hold on, and I will take you there
Hold on and I will take you there.

The daily routine takes your soul,
Lost without a trace
It holds you down and turns you 'round
And puts you in your place
Another day, another dollar
Another pretty face
Another chance to lose yourself
In the endless race.

Hold on, hold on to your dreams
Hold on, even though it seems
Everyone around you has their little schemes
Listen to your heart and hold on to your dreams.

Can't you feel the magic
Feel it everywhere
Can't you hear the music
There's something in the air
There's a celebration
Deep within a song
Celebrate this feeling,
You know it can't be wrong.

Hold on, hold on to your dreams
Hold on, even though it seems
Everyone around you has their little schemes
Listen to your heart and hold on to your dreams.

Caught up in routine,
You got to break it
Time won't wait for us,
We got to make it
Fate gives you the chance
You've got to take it
Take it...

Hold on
Hold on
Hold on...

------------------------------

Hold on to your dreams my ADD friends!!!

Peace,
*~ §EEK ~*

Thanks Seek! That rocked! :D

Has anyone ever played the game "Chutes and Ladders"??? :)

Life is a sort of like "Chutes and Ladders", don't ya think??? :)

----------------------------------------
Dave Edmunds - "Chutes and Ladders"
----------------------------------------

Up the Ladder
Down the Chute
What a Game
What a Hoot

Your in the Game, you've got no Choice
You can't Complain, you've got no Voice
Take a Turn, roll the Dice
Sometimes Nasty, Sometimes Nice
Now it's a Nightmare, now a Dream
Now it's Bitter, now it's Sweet
Win or lose, you’re in to Stay
Prayin' for sixes until your dying Day

Up the Ladder
Down the Chute
What a Game
What a Hoot

I guess he figured, this is Cute
Lets throw in some forbidden Fruit
That'll get em, it's a Beaut
Up the Ladder, down the Chute

Well you could Run, and you could Hide
Punch all your Fun, the rest you Ride
Watch the Players, bendin' Rules
They sail along, in a ship of Fools
You get Lucky, or miss the Throw
Easy Come, or easy Go
Take your Partners, they're playin' your Song
Just make it up as you go Along

Up the Ladder
Down the Chute
What a Game Man
Ahh, Shoot

Help me baby when the ladders Steep
I'll be your eyes when the chutes are Deep
Lets help each other win or lose in Style
Lets help each other make it all Worthwhile

Up the Ladder
Down the Chute
What a Game
What a Hoot

I guess he figured, this is Cute
I think I'll throw in some forbidden Fruit
That'll get 'em, it's a Beaut
Up the Ladder, down the Chute

Up the Ladder
Down the Chute
What a Game
What a Hoot

What a Game Man
What a Hoot...

I searched high and low for these lyrics on the Internet!
But, to no avail! :(
Therefore, I finally just typed the lyrics up myself! :)

However, I did find a place where you can listen to (almost all of) the song, here --> http://samples.itsaboutmusic.net/./samples/Dave_Edmunds/Plugged_In/01-Chutes_and_Ladders.mp3

Anyway,
Take care my friends, :)

Oh I got a great one! Of course I have a nonADD partner so it might not fit everyone....

Simple and Clean (Utada Hikaru)

When you walk away
You don't hear me say please
Oh baby, don't go
Simple and clean is the way that you're making me feel tonight
It's hard to let it go

You're giving me too many things
Lately you're all I need
You smiled at me and said,

Don't get me wrong I love you
But does that mean I have to meet your father?
When we are older you'll understand
What I meant when I said "No,
I don't think life is quite that simple"

When you walk away
You don't hear me say please
Oh baby, don't go
Simple and clean is the way that you're making me feel tonight
It's hard to let it go

The daily things that keep us all busy
Are confusing me
That's when you came to me and said,

Wish I could prove I love you
But does that mean I have to walk on water?
When we are older you'll understand
It's enough when I say so
And maybe some things are that simple

When you walk away
You don't hear me say please
Oh baby, don't go
Simple and clean is the way that you're making me feel tonight
It's hard to let it go

Hold me
Whatever lies beyond this morning
Is a little later on
Regardless of warnings the future doesn't scare me at all
Nothing's like before

When you walk away
You don't hear me say please
Oh baby, don't go
Simple and clean is the way that you're making me feel tonight
It's hard to let it go

Hold me
Whatever lies beyond this morning
Is a little later on
Regardless of warnings the future doesn't scare me at all
Nothing's like before

Hold me
Whatever lies beyond this morning
Is a little later on
Regardless of warnings the future doesn't scare me at all
Nothing's like before

Dont Let Me Get Me

Never win first place, I don't support the team
I can't take direction, and my socks are never
clean
Teachers dated me, my parents hated me
I was always in a fight cuz I can't do nothin'
right
Everyday I fight a war against the mirror
I can't take the person starin' back at me
I'm a hazard to myself

Don't let me get me
I'm my own worst enemy
Its bad when you annoy yourself
So irritating
Don't wanna be my friend no more
I wanna be somebody else

I wanna be somebody else, yeah

LA told me, "You'll be a pop star,
All you have to change is everything you are."
Tired of being compared to damn Britney Spears
She's so pretty, that just ain't me

Doctor, doctor won't you please prescribe
somethin
A day in the life of someone else?
Cuz I'm a hazard to myself

Don't let me get me
I'm my own worst enemy
Its bad when you annoy yourself
So irritating
Don't wanna be my friend no more
I wanna be somebody else

Don't let me get me
I'm my own worst enemy
Its bad when you annoy yourself
So irritating
Don't wanna be my friend no more
I wanna be somebody else

Doctor, doctor won't you please prescribe
somethin
A day in the life of someone else?
Don't let me get me

Don't let me get me
I'm my own worst enemy
Its bad when you annoy yourself
So irritating
Don't wanna be my friend no more
I wanna be somebody else

This is so me lol

Little Charlie and the Nightcats - "Don't do it"
--------------------------------------------

Hey I was under the weather,
And I wasn’t getting better,
So I went to get a physical check.

And when I went to the doc,
It was a heck of a shock,
He told me boy you are a miserable wreck.

He said your liver’s all swollen,
And your stomach’s got a hole in it,
From drinkin too much for too long.

And there’s a good indication,
You’ve got bad circulation,
Cause your blood pressure almost gone.

And you got no reflexes,
In your solar plexus,
When I tap you on the top of your knees.

He said your pulse ain’t steady,
And your lungs getting ready,
To collapse every time that you breathe.

And at the rate you’re goin',
All the tests are showin,
Boy, you’ll never live to get old.

But I came up with a plan,
To make you healthy again but,
Son you gotta do what you’re told.

(Chorus)
That's when he told me,
If you dig it........don’t do it,
And if you like it better leave it alone.

And if it’s too much fun,
That outta clue you son,
You’re probably doing something that wrong.

And I’m surprised at you,
And all the things you do,
Boy cause that ain’t what your body is for.

And if you think its bad so far,
Wait til’ after this guitar,
Cause the doctor said a whole lot more.

He told me cut out your boozing,
Quit them drugs you been using,
And don’t be smoking no cigarettes.

And you know lovin' a stranger,
Now days boy,
Man is just like playin Russian roulette.

And get that grease out your diet,
Better broil it, don’t fry it,
And don’t you eat no more Bar-B-Que.

I wouldn’t tell you no lie,
Take this rule and apply,
Now son listen to what you better do.

(Chorus)
That's when he told me,
If you dig it........don’t do it,
And if you like it better leave it alone.

And if it’s too much fun,
That outta clue you son,
You’re probably doing something that wrong.

And if it’s too good to ya,
Well don’t let it fool ya,
You’re playin in the danger zone.

And I kept waitin and waitin,
For the man to finish,
But the sucker just went on and on.

And then he told me cut out all sweets,
And don’t be cramping your feet,
In them pointed-toe Italian shoes.

And he said boy lookie here,
You're gonna damage your ears,
Playin them loud rockin rhythm and blues.

And if a Rabbit won’t eat it,
Buddy you don’t need it,
That’s the rules on your new menu.

You better get you a pen,
I ain’t gonna say it again,
Cause there’s a whole lot more that you need to do.

You need to lose some weight,
You need to stand up straight,
Boy your posture is a terrible disgrace.

You need to suck in your gut,
You need to tuck in your butt,
You need to clear them zits up off of your face.

(Chorus)
That's when he told me,
If you dig it........don’t do it,
And if you like it better leave it alone.

And if it’s too much fun,
That outta clue you son,
You’re probably doing something that wrong.

And if it’s too good to ya,
Well don’t let it fool ya,
Cause you’re playin in the danger zone.

And I kept waitin and waitin,
For the man to finish,
But the sucker just went on and on….. on and on…. and on…..and on….. and on...

Right up here with this one, Seek!

Frank Zappa Cosmik Debris

The Mystery Man came over
An' he said: "I'm outa-site!"
He said, for a nominal service charge,
I could reach nervonna t'nite
If I was ready, willing 'n able
To pay him his regular fee
He would drop all the rest of his pressing affairs
And devote His Attention to me
But I said . . .
Look here brother,
Who you jivin' with that Cosmik Debris?
(Now who you jivin' with that Cosmik Debris?)
Look here brother,
Don't you waste your time on me

The Mystery Man got nervous
An' he fidget around a bit
He reached in the pocket of his Mystery Robe
An' he whipped out a shaving kit
Now, I thought it was a razor
An' a can of foamin' goo
But he told me right then when the top popped open
There was nothin' his box won't do
With the oil of Afro-dytee
An' the dust of the Grand Wazoo
He said:
"You might not believe this, little fella, but it'll cure your Asthma too!"
An' I said . . .
Look here brother,
Who you jivin' with that Cosmik Debris?
(Now what kind of a geroo are you anyway?)
Look here brother,
Don't you waste your time on me
Don't waste yer time . . .

I've got troubles of my own, I said
An' you can't help me out
So take your meditations an' your preparations
An' ram it up yer snout
"BUT I GOT A KRISTL BOL!," he said
An' held it to the light
So I snatched it
All away from him
An' I showed him how to do it right
I wrapped a newspaper 'round my head
So I'd look like I was Deep
I said some Mumbo Jumbos then
An' told him he was goin' to sleep
I robbed his rings
An' pocket watch
An' everything else I found
I had that sucker hypnotized
He couldn't even make a sound
I proceeded to tell him his future then
As long as he was hanging around,
I said
"The price of meat has just gone up
An' yer ol' lady has just gone down . . . "
Look here brother,
Who you jivin' with that Cosmik Debris?
(Now is that a real poncho or is that a Sears poncho?)
Don't you know,
You could make more money as a butcher,
So don't you waste your time on me
(Don't waste it, don't waste your time on me . . . )
Ohm shonty, ohm shonty, ohm shonty-ohm
SSHONTAY

"All I Really Want" by Alanis Morrisette what a tune adhd support! I thought i'd download the tune and have a listen, and having the lyric's there is cool, I'm gonna make me own c.d aswell for when i'm in a low mood i think it will cheer me up, i'm definatley going to add your choice liked it very much. :)

song title and singer after song

Crazy but thats how it goes
millions of people living as foes
maybe it's not to late to learn how to love and forget how to hate
mental wounds not healing lifes a biter shame

I'm going off the rails on a crazy train

Ive listend to preachers
I have listend to fools
Ive watched all the drop out who make there own rules
One person conditioned to rule and control
the media sells it and you have the role
Mental wound still screaming driving me insane
Im going of the rails on a crazy train
I know that things are going wrong for me
you got to listen to my words yeh-h
Heirs of a cold war thats what we become
Inheriting trubles im mentally numb
Crazy i just cannot bear
Im living with something that just isnt fair
mental wounds not healing who or whats to blame
Im going off the rails on a crazy train

sound like ozzy osborne mite be bipolar
title "crazy train" 1980 I was 13 then and played this song in my getobox(very large raido) at school every day,then they banned raidos from school two years after that we had to start wearing seatbelts in cars too.

The woman was a dream I had
Though rather hard to keep
For when my eyes were watching hers
They closed
And I was still asleep

For when my hand was holding hers
She whispered words and I awoke
And faintly bouncing around the room
The echo of whomever spoke
And I awoke and faintly bouncing round the room
The echo of whomever spoke

The place I saw was far beneath
The surface of the sea
My sight was poor
But I was sure
The sirens sang their songs for me
They dance above me as I sink
I see them through a crystal haze
And hear their sweet sound bouncing round
The never ending coral maze
The crystal haze
And hear them bouncing round the room
The never ending coral maze

Then before and now once more I’m bouncing round the room
That time and once again I'm bouncing around the room

Gotta love Phish :D

Song: "Fight For Your Mind"
Artist: Ben Harper
------------------------------

If you're gonna live
then live it up
and if you're gonna give
then give it up
if you're gonna walk the earth
then walk it proud
and if you're gonna say the word
you got to say it loud

you got to fight fight fight for your mind
you got to fight fight fight for your mind
while you got the time
you got to fight fight fight for your mind

if you're gonna build a house
make it a home
if you're gonna pull some weight
ah, pull your own
if you're gonna help
then reach out your hand
if you're getting up
then take a stand

you got to fight fight fight for your mind
you got to fight fight fight for your mind

CLOSER TO FINE

i'm trying to tell you something about my life
maybe give me insight between black and white
and the best thing you've ever done for me
is to help me take my life less seriously
it's only life after all
yeah

well darkness has a hunger that's insatiable
and lightness has a call that's hard to hear
i wrap my fear around me like a blanket
i sailed my ship of safety till i sank it
i'm crawling on your shores

i went to the doctor, i went to the mountains
i looked to the children, i drank from the fountains
there's more than one answer to these questions
pointing me in a crooked line
and the less i seek my source for some definitive
(the less i seek my source)
the closer i am to fine
the closer i am to fine

and i went to see the doctor of philosophy
with a poster of rasputin and a beard down to his knee
he never did marry or see a b-grade movie
he graded my performance, he said he could see through me
i spent four years prostrate to the higher mind
got my paper and i was free

i went to the doctor, i went to the mountains
i looked to the children, i drank from the fountains
there's more than one answer to these questions
pointing me in a crooked line
the less i seek my source for some definitive
(the less i seek my source)
the closer i am to fine
the closer i am to fine

i stopped by the bar at 3 a.m.
to seek solace in a bottle or possibly a friend
and i woke up with a headache like my head against a board
twice as cloudy as i'd been the night before
and i went in seeking clarity.

i went to the doctor, i went to the mountains
i looked to the children, i drank from the fountains
yeah we go to the doctor, we go to the mountains
we look to the children, we drink from the fountains
yeah we go to the bible, we go through the workout
we read up on revival and we stand up for the lookout
there's more than one answer to these questions
pointing me in a crooked line
the less i seek my source for some definitive
(the less i seek my source)
the closer i am to fine
the closer i am to fine
the closer i am to fine

Song: "Loved To Be Loved"
------------------------------

So, you know how people are
When it's all gone much too far
The way their minds are made

Still, there's something you should know
That I could not let show
That fear of letting go

And in this moment, I need to be needed
With this darkness all around me, I like to be liked
In this emptiness and fear, I want to be wanted

'Cos I love to be loved
I love to be loved [x2]
Yes, I love to be loved

I cry the way that babies cry
The way they can't deny
The way they feel

Words, they climb all over you
'Til they uncover you
From where you hide

And in this moment, I need to be needed
When my self-esteem is sinking, I like to be liked
In this emptiness and fear, I want to be wanted

'Cos I love to be loved
I love to be loved [x2]
Oh I love to be loved

This old familiar craving
I've been here before, This way of behaving
Don't know who the hell I'm saving anymore

Let it pass let it go let it leave
From the deepest place I grieve
This time I believe

And I let go
And I let go
I can let go of it

Though it takes all the strength in me
And all the world can see
I'm losing such a central part of me

I can let go of it
You know I mean it
You know that I mean it

I recognize how much I've lost
But I cannot face the cost
'Cos I love to be loved

Yes I love to be loved
I love to be loved [x3]
Yes I love to be loved

A man walks down the street,
He says, Why am I soft in the middle now?
Why am I soft in the middle?
The rest of my life is so hard!
I need a photo-opportunity,
I want a shot at redemption!
Don't want to end up a cartoon,
In a cartoon graveyard .....

Bonedigger, Bonedigger,
Dogs in the moonlight.
Far away, my well-lit door.
Mr. Beerbelly, Beerbelly,
Get these mutts away from me!
You know, I don't find this stuff amusing anymore ....

If you'll be my bodyguard,
I can be your long lost pal!
I can call you Betty,
And Betty, when you call me,
You can call me Al!

A man walks down the street,
He says, Why am I short of attention?
Got a short little span of attention,
And whoa, my nights are so long!
Where's my wife and family?
What if I die here?
Who'll be my role-model?
Now that my role-model is ....
Gone ...... gone,
He ducked back down the alley,
With some roly-poly, little bat-faced girl.
All along .... along ....
There were incidents and accidents,
There were hints and allegations .....

If you'll be my bodyguard,
I can be your long lost pal!
I can call you Betty,
And Betty, when you call me,
You can call me Al!
Call me Al ......

A man walks down the street,
It's a street in a strange world.
Maybe it's the Third World.
Maybe it's his first time around.
He doesn't speak the language,
He holds no currency.
He is a foreign man,
He is surrounded by the sound, sound ....
Cattle in the marketplace.
Scatterlings and orphanages.
He looks around, around .....
He sees angels in the architecture,
Spinning in infinity,
He says, Amen! and Hallelujah!

If you'll be my bodyguard,
I can be your long lost pal!
I can call you Betty,
And Betty, when you call me,
You can call me Al!
You can call me Al ......


So what say you to that, Betty? Paul Simon.

Song: "Be Still My Beating Heart"
--------------------------------------

Be still my beating heart
It would be better to be cool
It's not time to be open just yet
A lesson once learned is so hard to forget
Be still my beating heart
Or I'll be taken for a fool
It's not healthy to run at this pace
The blood runs so red to my face
I've been to every single book I know
To soothe the thoughts that plague me so

I sink like a stone that's been thrown in the ocean
My logic has drowned in a sea of emotion
Stop before you start
Be still my beating heart

Restore my broken dreams
Shattered like a falling glass
I'm not ready to be broken just yet
A lesson once learned is so hard to forget

Be still my beating heart
You must learn to stand your ground
It's not healthy to run at this pace
The blood runs so red to my face
I've been to every single book I know
To soothe the thoughts that plague me so

Stop before you start
Be still my beating heart

Never to be wrong
Never to make promises that break
It's like singing in the wind
Or writing on the surface of a lake
And I wriggle like a fish caught on dry land
And I struggle to avoid any help at hand

I sink like a stone that's been thrown in the ocean
My logic has drowned in a sea of emotion
Stop before you start
Be still my beating heart

----------------------------------------

:)

Good one Betty! I was not aware of it, but I love it!

A mildly depressing one, but still very significant to me:

Doctor, my eyes have seen the years
And the slow parade of fears without crying
Now I want to understand

I have done all that I could
To see the evil and the good without hiding
You must help me if you can

Doctor, my eyes
Tell me what is wrong
Was I unwise to leave them open for so long

’cause I have wandered through this world
And as each moment has unfurled
I’ve been waiting to awaken from these dreams
People go just where there will
I never noticed them until I got this feeling
That it’s later than it seems

Doctor, my eyes
Tell me what you see
I hear their cries
Just say if it’s too late for me

Doctor, my eyes
Cannot see the sky
Is this the prize for having learned how not to cry


Jackson Browne :)

Ok, here's one by Godsmack. It kind of explains the feelings when things go wrong in life (failing school, fighting with the boyfriend or family, etc) because of (or so it seems) add. Sooner or later, things usually turn around for the better though.

"Sick Of Life"

Paralyzed. Nothing's getting through to me.
Hypnotized from all my surroundings.
I wanna be something I could never be.
I wanna say things that I could never say.
Yeah, I'm gonna do it again!

Sick of my life. I'm tired of everything in my life.

Dragged down. Rubbing my face in the ground.
No time for the undecided.
I wanna know why I've always felt alone,
And I wanna love. Why am I untouchable?
Yeah, I'm gonna do it again!

Sick of my life. I'm tired of everything in my life.
I never wanted to be sick of my life.
I'm tired of everything in my life.

One in that same vein here lotsof (great contribution BTW)

Take away your paper & pen
Stacks of money and your foolish grin
And go

Get me off the backwards ride
Take away your greedy way and go
See the woman standing at the door
World gone by ... Again and again
See the blisters growing on your feet
Pushed on... Pushed on
World gone by

Take away your companies
Take away your societies and go
Get me off this backwards ride
Take away your fictitious books of fact
See the woman standing in the door
World gone by ... Again and again
See the blisters growing on your feet
Pushed on ... Pushed on
World gone by

I wouldn’t want to be
Living in a world of ecstasy with you

Wasted arms; wasted legs
Wrapped round this machine
Military machine

I wouldn’t want to be
Living in a world of ecstasy with you

Taken’ away your companies
Takin’ away your societies and go.
Get me off this backwards ride,
Takin’ away your ficticious books of fact.
Yeah, do mum-ba-si-be-ah

Song: Split personality Artist: Pink


Hmm, ooh
I do not trust
So I can not love (can't no man be trusted)
Oh no, no, no
And I will not dare to open up (this life of yours is dusted Pink)

Well my rent's passed due
And now my car won't start
I hate the bus(aren't you glad you have somebody to talk to?)

Tell me what do they see
When they look at me
Do they see my many personalities, oh no?

1-Can you help me?
Can anybody hear me?
Can they even see me?
This is my reality, oh no

(Can it be my turn now? Is it my turn, Pink?
Said I'll say it again
You're my only friend (I'll protect you from the world, I'll basically protect you from yourself)
Though I can't go on
I'm not satisfied
With this being the end (this is just the beinning)

2-Tell me why can't I
Just reach up and simply touch the sky
Tell me why can't I
Spread my arms and fly and fly and fly
Tell me can't I say this
Why can't I do that?
Tell me, what do they want from me?
Tell me how to act

1-Can you help me?
Can anybody hear me?
Can they even see me?
This is my reality, oh no

1-Can you help me?
Can anybody hear me?
Can they even see me?
This is my reality, oh no

So I'm putting it all on the table
You don't know me well enough to label me
Sick even disturbed
When you break it down I'm just two girls
Trying to blend, trying to vibe (trying)
Trying to live just one life (it's so hard)
Everybody's got insanities
I've go a split personality

2-Tell me why can't I
Just reach up and simply touch the sky
Tell me why can't I
Spread my arms and fly and fly and fly
Tell me why can't I say this
Why can't I do that?
Tell me what do they want from me?
Tell me how to act

1-Can you help me?
Can anybody hear me?
Can they even see me?
This is my reality, oh no

1-Can you help me?
Can anybody hear me?
Can they even see me?
This is my reality, oh no

(Why won't you talk to me?)
Can you help me?
(Talk to me don't ignore me)
Do you hear me?
(I can't take it)
Do you see me? Oh, it's mine
(Oh calm down)
It's all mine
(It's not that serious)
It's my realty
(We'll be just fine without them)
It's just too much for me
(Forget them)
Oh, oh
(You're my friend)
Oh
(My friend)
Oh
(Pink)
Oh
(Pink!)

Thanks for letting us know about this seek, i have now started to post on the original thread!! :)

I love those stone temple pilots!
This is one by a little-known but very good band. It brings me down but coz it's so haunting and exactly how I feel when I decide it's time to make another fruitless attempt to get my life on track...not make any more silly mistakes, get organised, turn my life around...
But now I have better clues how ;)
The analogy dosn't quite hold, but you get the picture.

Cooper Temple Clause - The Same Mistakes


And so it has to change
The notebook's now in pieces
Words we'll never sing
I know you'll say i've simply jumped the gun
And that they've won
But you can't keep making the same mistakes
You see I've had this thought
In tooke its time in coming
But now won't be denied
I'd always gone about these things all wrong
But not this song
Cos you can't keep making the same mistakes
No you can't keep making the same mistakes
Can't jump ship just yet
There's no one at the wheel
Someone has to steer
Get a hold of yourself
Keep your head there's no time to waste
You'll see it soon enough
But all is not forgotten
And now's no time for tears
Cos though that boy has died this one still lives
And now there's life
And a chance to make up for all those mistakes
But please don't get me wrong
Cos everything was honest
True and from the heart
There's still the same old hang ups so don't fret
It's not safe yet
And who knows there's always time to screw up again
But maybe we'll be cool
Cos you were made an offer
You could not refuse
You made me come alive and see my face
See my grace
And we grow or do we just haul it around?

Anyone for a bit of brain salad surgery?? hehe :)

"Right Place, Wrong Time"
By Dr. John

I been in the right place, but it must have been the wrong time.
I'd have said the right thing, but I must have used the wrong line.
I been in the right trip, but I must have used the wrong car.
My head was in a bad place, and I'm wondering what it's good for.
I been in the right place, but it must have been the wrong time.
My head was in a bad place, but I'm having such a good time.

I been running trying to get hung up in my mind.
Got to give myself a good talking-to this time.
Just need a little brain salad surgery.
Got to cure my insecurity.

I been in the wrong place, but it must have been the right time.
I been in the right place, but it must have been the wrong song.
I been in the right vein, but it seems like the wrong arm.
I been in the right world, but it seems wrong wrong wrong wrong wrong.

Slipping, dodging, sneaking, creeping, hiding out down the street.
See me life shaking with every ho' I meet.
Refried confusion is making itself clear.
Wonder which way do I go to get on out of here.

I been in the right place, but it must have been the wrong time.
I'd have said the right thing, but I must have used the wrong line.
I'd have took the right road, but I must have took a wrong turn.
I'd have took the right move, but I made it at the wrong time.
I been on the trip road, but I must have used the wrong car.
My head was in a good place, and I wonder what it's bad for.

Born of Frustration
by James


All this frustration
I can't meet all my desires
Strange conversation
Self-control has just expired
All an illusion
Only in my head you don't exist
Who are you fooling
Don't need a shrink but an exorcist

Show me the movie
Of who you are and where you're from
Born of frustration
Caught up in the webs you've spun
Where's the confusion
A vision of what life is like
Show me the movie
That doesn't deal in black and white

Stop stop talking about who's to blame
When all that counts is how to change

All this frustration
All this frustration
Who put round eyes on a butterfly's wings
All this frustration
All this frustration
Who gave the leopards spots and taught the birds to sing

Born of frustration
Born of frustration

I'm living in the weirdest dream
Where nothing is the way it seems
Where no one's who they need to be
Where nothing seems that real to me
What can we build our lives upon
No wall of stone, no solid ground
The world is spinning endlessly
We're clinging to our own beliefs

Born of frustration
Born of frustration

Yep, Seek, thanks !

Im A ***** by Alanis Morisette - Zacce
I hate the world today
You're so good to me
I know but I can't change
Tried to tell you
But you look at me like maybe
I'm an angel underneath
Innocent and sweet
Yesterday I cried
Must have been relieved to see
The softer side
I can understand how you'd be so confused
I don't envy you
I'm a little bit of everything
All rolled into one

[Chorus:]
I'm a *****, I'm a lover
I'm a child, I'm a mother
I'm a sinner, I'm a saint
I do not feel ashamed
I'm your hell, I'm your dream
I'm nothing in between
You know you wouldn't want it any other way

So take me as I am
This may mean
You'll have to be a stronger man
Rest assured that
When I start to make you nervous
And I'm going to extremes
Tomorrow I will change
And today won't mean a thing

[Chorus]

Just when you think, you got me figured out
The season's already changing
I think it's cool, you do what you do
And don't try to save me

[Chorus]

I'm a *****, I'm a tease
I'm a goddess on my knees
When you hurt, when you suffer
I'm your angel undercover
I've been numb, I'm revived
Can't say I'm not alive
You know I wouldn't want it any other way

Nelly Furtado - I'm Like A Bird

You're beautiful, that's for sure
You'll never ever fade
You're lovely, but it's not for sure
That I won't ever change
And though my love is rare
Though my love is true

I'm like a bird, I'll only fly away
I don't know where my soul is
I don't know where my home is
(And baby all I need for you to know is)
I'm like a bird, I'll only fly away
I don't know where my soul is
I don't know where my home is
(And baby all I need for you to know is)

Your faith in me brings me to tears
Even after all these years
And it pains me so much to tell
That you don't know me that well
And though my love is rare
Though my love is true

I'm like a bird, I'll only fly away
I don't know where my soul is
I don't know where my home is
(And baby all I need for you to know is)
I'm like a bird, I'll only fly away
I don't know where my soul is
I don't know where my home is
(And baby all I need for you to know is)

It's not that I wanna say goodbye
It's just that every time you try to tell me that you love me
Each and every single day I know
I'm going to have to eventually give you away
And though my love is rare
And though my love is true
Hey I'm just scared
That we may fall through

I'm like a bird, I'll only fly away
I don't know where my soul is
I don't know where my home is
(And baby all I need for you to know is)
I'm like a bird, I'll only fly away
I don't know where my soul is
I don't know where my home is
(And baby all I need for you to know is)
(repeat x 3)

This one's for my new friend Nova! :)

Are you feeling fine? (Yes, I feel just fine.)

Tell me that you're alright.
Yeah, everything is alright.
Oh, please tell me that you're alright.
Yeah, everything is alright.

I'm sick of the things I do when I'm nervous.
Like cleaning the oven or checking my tires.
Or counting the number of tiles on the ceiling.
Head for the hills, the kitchen's on fire!

I used to rely on self-medication.
I guess I still do that from time to time.
But I'm getting better at fighting the future.
Someday you'll be fine. (Yes, I'll be just fine.)

Tell me that you're alright.
Yeah, everything is alright.
Oh, please tell me that you're alright.
Now everything is alright.

Give me a reason (I don't believe a word)
To end this discussion (Of anything I heard)
To break with tradition (They tell me that its not so hard)
To fold and divide (It's not so hard)
So let's not get carried (Away with everything)
Away with the process (From Here to in-between)
Of elimination (The long Goodbyes)
I don't want to waste your time.

Tell me that you're alright.
Yeah, everything is alright.
Oh, please tell me that you're alright.
Yeah, everything is alright.

(Alright)
Tell me that you're alright. (Hi, everything's great)
Yeah, everything is alright. (Hey, everything's fine)
Oh, please tell me that you're alright. (Hey, everything's great)
Yeah, everything is alright.

Hey, everything's fine.
Hey, everything's fine.
Hey, everything's fine.
Hey, everything's fine.

I've looked under chairs
I've looked under tables
I've tried to find the key
To fifty million fables

They call me The Seeker
I've been searching low and high
I won't get to get what I'm after
Till the day I die

I asked Bobby Dylan
I asked The Beatles
I asked Timothy Leary
But he couldn't help me either

They call me The Seeker
I've been searching low and high
I won't get to get what I'm after
Till the day I die

People tend to hate me
'Cause I never smile
As I ransack their homes
They want to shake my hand

Focusing on nowhere
Investigating miles
I'm a seeker
I'm a really desperate man

I won't get to get what I'm after
Till the day I die

I learned how to raise my voice in anger
Yeah, but look at my face, ain't this a smile?
I'm happy when life's good
And when it's bad I cry
I've got values but I don't know how or why

I'm looking for me
You're looking for you
We're looking in at each other
And we don't know what to do

They call me The Seeker
I've been searching low and high
I won't get to get what I'm after
Till the day I die

"The Seeker"
By The Who

awwww that is cool

I was so obssessed with The Who in HS is wasn't even funny, Seek...cuz I graduated in 1984 ;)!1982 here. The Who put on one of the best concerts I ever saw, and I never really cared for them when I saw them in concert. It changed my mind about them, and I was a fan from then on.

It changed my mind about them, and I was a fan from then on.The '82 (or was it '81) concert? Freaking figures!! I begged and pleaded to go and Mom-n-Pop practically chained me to my bed :mad: since they thought I would try to sneak out and go anyway (and they were so correct!).

In 1982 I graduated.
I saw The Who in 1989.
Hey Feet, maybe we should start a thread listing all the concerts we've seen??

The Carpet Crawlers


He returns from his mixed-up memories to the passage he was previously stuck in. This time he discovers a long carpeted corridor.


There is lambswool under my naked feet.
The wool is soft and warm,
- gives off some kind of heat.
A salamander scurries into flame to be destroyed.
Imaginary creatures are trapped in birth on celluloid.
The fleas cling to the golden fleece,
Hoping they'll find peace.
Each thought and gesture are caught in celluloid.
There's no hiding in my memory.
There's no room to avoid.


The walls are painted in red ochre and are marked by strange insignia, some looking like a bulls-eye, others of birds and boats. Further down the corridor, he can see some people; all kneeling. With broken sighs and murmurs they struggle, in their slow motion to move towards a wooden door at the end. Having seen only the inanimate bodies in the Grand Parade of Lifeless Packaging, Rael rushes to talk to them.

The crawlers cover the floor in the red ochre corridor.
For my second sight of people, they've more lifeblood than before.
They're moving in time to a heavy wooden door,
Where the needle's eye is winking, closing in on the poor.
The carpet crawlers heed their callers:
"We've got to get in to get out
We've got to get in to get out
We've got to get in to get out."


"What's going on?" he cries to a muttering monk, who conceals a yawn and replies "It's a long time yet before the dawn." A sphinx-like crawler calls his name saying "Don't ask him, the monk is drunk. Each one of us is trying to reach the top of the stairs, a way out will await us there." Not asking how he can move freely, our hero goes boldly through the door. Behind a table loaded with food, is a spiral staircase going up into the ceiling.

There's only one direction in the faces that I see;
It's upward to the ceiling, where the chamber's said to be.
Like the forest fight for sunlight, that takes root in every tree.
They are pulled up by the magnet, believing they're free.
The carpet crawlers heed their callers:
"We've got to get in to get out
We've got to get in to get out
We've got to get in to get out."

Mild mannered supermen are held in kryptonite,
And the wise and foolish virgins giggle with their bodies glowing
bright.
Through a door a harvest feast is lit by candlelight;
It's the bottom of a staircase that spirals out of sight.
The carpet crawlers heed their callers:
"We've got to get in to get out
We've got to get in to get out
We've got to get in to get out."

The porcelain mannikin with shattered skin fears attack.
The eager pack lift up their pitchers - they carry all they lack.
The liquid has congealed, which has seeped out through the crack,
And the tickler takes his stickleback.
The carpet crawlers heed their callers:
"We've got to get in to get out
We've got to get in to get out
We've got to get in to get out."
