If I Have To Be Alone
If i have to be alone
Then i should make my mind serene
After all you're born alone, you die alone
You might as well spend every moment in between alone
But if i have to be alone
Then it will be on my own terms
I can never talk about it, ever show it
Even though the world is watching while i squirm alone
And your bleeding heart friends say, "isn't it sad?"
Then they go make love
While you go insane. insane!
It drives you mad! mad!
My mind, i love my mind
And if no one can feel the same
I'm a computer with a name
And i've got no one else to blame
If i have to be alone
And if nobody understands
That special creature that is me
And if they fail to see the me i see
Then no one else knows truly what it means
To be alone
Maybe once in a lifetime you lose your will
Then you can let down your guard
But they cower in fear. in fear.
It makes you ill! ill!
My heart, my burning heart
And if no one will quench the flame
I'm not obliged to do the same
And then they'll have to share the blame
Because i have to be alone
Because i have to be alone
But i don't want to be alone

Invaders Of The Heart
Words and music by rick nielsen
(its rolling)
(oh, wrong song)

Invaders of the heart
Are messin with my mind
Invaders of the heart
Can make your heart blind
Invaders of the heart
Are drivin me insane
Invaders of the heart
Are playin with my brain
I cant see anymore
Now Ive gotten tunnel vision
I cant be anyone
I just got no direction
I cant see anything
But I dont need glasses on
I cant think anymore
Im just a nervous wreck
Invaders of the heart
Are messin with my mind
Invaders of the heart
Can make your heart blind
Invaders of the heart
Are drivin me insane
Invaders of the heart
Are playin with my brain
I cant see anymore
Always buckle under pressure
I cant be anyone
The slightest thing will set me off
I cant feel anything
Im on pins and Im on needles
I cant think anymore
Ive lost my appetite
Invaders of the heart
Are messin with my mind
Invaders of the heart
Can make your heart blind
Invaders of the heart
Are drivin me insane
Invaders of the heart
Are playin with my brain

When “I” Sin
Their treacherous glance ignites “I”
Their seductive stare entraps “I”
Their innocent wink encourages “I”
And yet “I”
Blame my mind
“I” would blame my heart
But my heart can’t see
When “I” sin
You see the lust in “I”
Pleasure now seduces “I”
Temptation steer “I”
And yet “I”
Blame my mind
“I” would blame my heart
But my heart can’t see
When “I” sin
Society influences “I”
Their ignorance lures “I”
Arms, legs, ears and tong follow “I”
And yet “I”
Blame my mind
“I” would blame my heart
But my heart can’t see

Insane
Somebody told me it was over
Nobody told me where it began
No one believes in you
I understand
Like a blind man
Whos lost his way
No one hears a word
Of what you say
I forgive you
Would you do the same
I would believe you
If only youd be true
I would believe if it were true
Cause everybody wants to be a winner
Nobody wants to lose their game
Its the same for me
Its the same for you
Its insane insane insane insane insane
Insane insane insane insane insane insane
I dont know where youve been looking
I think its only in your mind
Its tied so tight inside of you
All the thoughts unkind
I would believe you
If only youd be true
I would believe if it were true
Cause everybody wants to be a winner
Nobody wants to lose their game
Its the same for me
Its the same for you
Its insane insane insane insane insane
Insane insane insane insane insane
Insane
I would believe you
If only youd be true
Im getting older
And I cant escape time
Cause everybody wants to be a winner
Nobody wants to lose their game
Its the same for me
Its the same for you
Its insane insane insane insane insane
Insane insane insane
Cause everybody wants to be a winner
Nobody wants to lose their game
Its the same or me
Its the same for you

When You Love, Love
when you love
love, do not think of any other thing
like a disease
HIV, cervical cancer, hepatitis
STD,
when you love
love with all your heart
kiss the leprosy in her heart
hug the virus on her breast
love, love, love with all your heart
make love with love
and savor the moment that love has offered
every drop...every moment...every ecstasy...
ever
when i love, i always love, i set aside the mind
i take everything at heart
i refuse to think
about the hurt
the future mess
the possibility of errors
i am blind
i just touch
and feel my way all through this maze
and when love is gone
if ever be
i take all the hurt, the blame, the regrets
it is love in me, it is this self-annhilation
this dying upon oneself for the other
this death
that gives my redemption, my resurrection
it is love
and not the thought of love
the love that is real that dies upon itself
only to be born again

Forsaking My Love
I hate you
I wish to tear you away from me
This tumor that clings to my chest
The thing that makes me ache
That haunts my dreams
And tears at my desires
You have brought me only pain
My untamed heart
That beast that gnaws at my soul
That pitifully whines
Bringing my mind into unwanted pain
Yet how can I blame you
How can I chastise you when I listen intently to your pleas
Why should I punish you for what my eyes feed upon
How can I blame my eyes for falling upon her
She who brings light to the eternal darkness of my soul
She whose eyes bring me to subjection
Whose smile leaves me in awe
How can I blame you when my ears are met with her laughter
How they submerge into her song
How they quiver at her voice
Why should I punish you for inclining my soul
Tempting it with the one sense that has been forsaken by her
How could I look over the thought of the brushing of lips
The touching of hands
The binding of the soul, mind, and body
O you wretched heart
What am I to do with this constant companion
How could I tear you away
When she is the cause of my agony
Or rather
It is the lack of her which brings me sorrow
It is the need for her that leaves my heart in pain
Yet she is not mine
She was never mine
She will never be mine
O my poor heart
How can I make you see reason
When all you do is show me the truth
love love love love love love love

Fear Runs
I used to shiver I used to cry as a child
When an ambulance went by
Mother would try to comfort
her son with a smile
Couldn┬┤t help the damage done
I felt betrayed lying awake In the night
When my dad turned out the light
Stories of ghosts would
run through my mind
As I cried So sure they┬┤d lie
under my bed
It takes control of your mind
It leaves all reason behind
The fever comes from within you
Seems to come out of the blue
But there is nothing less true
Fear is something that┬┤s taught you
Fear runs so deep through your veins
drives an easy man insane
In your heart in your mind
visions of the strangest kind
Devastates from within
Feel it itch under your skin
Never knew now you do
It┬┤s always been inside of you
Your darkest hour you
knew would come must be now
You don't know where it comes from
Maybe you┬┤ll sleep maybe you won┬┤t
for toninght The thoughts
you fear are in control
It breaks the spine of your pride
Reveals the memories you hide
The ones you hoped that
would save you
They all remain from the years
When you would fight back your tear
With every warning they gave you
Fear runs so deep through your veins
drives an easy man insane
In your heart in your mind
visions of the strangest kind
Devastates from within
Feel it itch under your skin
Never knew now you do
It┬┤s always been inside of you

Never My Love
You ask me if there'll come a time
When I grow tired of you
Never my love
Never my love
You wonder if this heart of mind
Will lose it's desire for you
Never my love
Never my love
What makes you think love will end
When you know that my whole life depends on you
You say you fear I'll change my mind
I won't require of you
Never my love
Never my love
How can you think love will end
When I've asked you to spend your whole life with me
You say you fear I'll change my mind

Here's a song that i wish i'd sung before linda ronstadt
Sang it, this is a song that, perhaps you've never heard
Her sing it actually, it's by a very young and talented
Songwriter called karla bonoff. i don't know why i put it
In the act except i think it's really pretty. i hope you
Do too... thank you.
Save me
Free me from my heart this time
The train's gone down the track
And i, i've stayed behind
Nothing can free me
From this ball and chain
I made up my mind
I would leave today
But you're keeping me going
I know it's insane
'cause i love you and lose again
When the heart calls
The mind obeys
Oh, it knows better than me
If i hold on
Just one more day
Then maybe, babe, you'd hear me true
'cause nothing can free me
From this ball and chain
I made up my mind
I would leave today
But you're keeping me going
I know it's insane
Because i love you and lose again
Ooh, ooh
Nothing can free me
From this ball and chain
I made up my mind
I would leave today
But you're keeping me going

Burning To Burned
You lied to me
I cant believe
That Ive been such a fool
I thought this time
I might find
Someone who would play by the rules
My mind said no
But my heart said go
And again Ive made the wrong turn
Now here I stand
My heart in your hands...
And Ive gone from burning to burned
Ah, youd think by now
Id know how
To keep this heart of mine safe
It goes to show
You just never know
Who can you trust these days
How could I make
The same mistake
But as far as Im concerned
Got myself to blame
Got to close to the flame
Now Ive gone from burning to burned
Everyone knows
The old saying goes
That a fool in love
Never learns
But I guess I forgot
cause the fire was too hot...
Now Ive gone from burning to burned
Oh I guess I forgot
cause the fire was too hot...
Now Ive gone from burning to burned

Your Mind Pushes Me Away, Your Heart Aches
Your mind pushes me away, your heart aches;
I assure you of our truth, whilst my heart breaks;
You are so afeared, that your fear became your reality-
Yet, there is but one way to rid yourself of this duality-
One day at a time, step closer in OUR direction,
Where I shall be already, to offer the protection
Of my love, strength and other-wordly faith,
In the love that we fashioned, through the miles, from a wraith;
Beloved, though we speak not, I call out to you,
And tell you that is ok to be brave-I am not saying what to do,
But merely I proffer salient advice knowing the truth of YOUR dreams-
I do this not for my own gain, nor for anything but what seems
Now to be surreal, where I know the opposite is true;
Love is truth, truth is love; fear is deceit, and deceit led you
To temporarily push away what you have dreamt for all your life,
Fear is your enemy, not I-fear caused this chasm, this strife!
I did not push you too fast, yet for same
I now am accused, and falsely take blame;
You did not use me to get over anyone,
Nor did you deceive just me, yet bludgeon
Only me, with anger over fear-I am NOT the enemy
I am the love that you have held guard over-it is in me
And not else lives there-not animus, nor do I possess baggage
From my past-holding on to the past has caused enough damage;
I would lovingly advise that you do the same, both as it relates to you and to me,
And finally accept the love that we two share, to be
The only 'reality' that you keep in your heart and mind-
Leave the past just where it belongs-behind
Us, both in time and as lessons learned-
It is what you deserve, and I know I have earned;
Become what you have always wanted to become,
At your own pace, but do not allow irration to be so cumbersome
As to alter what you know as real,
The truth of your heart, what you you truly feel!

The Core
By eric clapton and marcy levy
Every morning when I wake, a feeling soon begins to overtake me.
Ringing in my ears resounds through my brain; it finally surrounds me.
There is fire, there is life, there is passion, fever and fury.
There is love and there is hate, there is longing, anger and worry.
Oh, I am a flame; feel it touch my heart.
And down at my core is the hottest part.
I can run without fear.
If it should become too cold, I know I can endure the frostbite.
Oh, a blanket then Ill wrap around me; I keep myself so close to my sight.
No one then can cause me harm, just as the river runs into the sea.
cause every day, a fire alarm is deafening the silence all around me.
Chorus
It is burning.
It is burning.
You can trust me; we can laugh. together we can share our sorrow.
I will give you secrets too, an attitude that you may borrow.
Gypsy woman said to me, one thing you must bear in your mind:
You are young and you are free, but damned if youre deceased in your own lifetime.
Oh, you have a flame; feel it in your heart.
And down at the core is the hottest part.
We can run without fear.
It is burning.
It is burning.

Plunder the entire world

Live equal on the earth

He is a small man
My heart says,
He is a big man

He is ignorant
My heart says,
He is wise

Live for money

Live in love

Take me back into your heart
Fear not my love
Let us make a fresh start
Fear not my love
The past is behind
Fear not my love
No more doubts in your mind
Fear not my love

Fear not my love
Perspicuous, lucid, unconfused

In Between The Valleys Of Love
Could there be a feeling stronger than this? ,
where every corner of my heart is now at peace.
Who would have thought that with each passing day,
i would long for this feeling i feel in my heart to forever stay.
It first came the very day i set my eyes on you,
it's like every thing around me changed to brand new.
You made a footprint in the dept of my heart,
it was like my whole life had a teste of a rebirth.
Then came that unique and special smile,
that made me forget my self for a while.
Looking at your beautiful face everyday,
makes me short of words to say.
All what i feel in my heart is an heart beat of love,
that keeps burning day by day like a burning stove.
All what i can think of his holding you in my hands,
and keeping everything about you in my mind.
Each day i keep wondering why God created you,
then i realised that this world will be an empty place without you.
Who said ' THE BEAUTIFUL ONES ARE NOT YET BORN'? ,
That is the biggest lie i have ever heared under the sun.
Taking a good look at you even,
will know that you are created with all the beauties of heaven.
If only my heart could say how it feels for you,
you will know that i will do the impossible just to have you.
If only i can take you to the highest place in the world,
and tell you all what in my mind that has never been told.
No matter the condition, no matter the weather,
i will always love you in my heart forever.
If ever there is an angel on earth,
you are the best one can ever get.
Deep down my heart you will always remain unforgettable,
wonderful, special, unique and irrplacable.
I just want to tell you one thing,
that i cherish you above everything.
If to love you is a crime,
i will gladly go to jail till the end of time.
I really and truly love you,
to the point that my life will never be complete without you.
I just want you to have it in mind that,
my love for you will never depart.

The Sun & Moon
Moon as my father
Tell me my name
Tell me I'm right
Not living in vain
That I see the light
And I'm not insane
They're so many problems
But I'm not to blame
Everyday that comes
Brings choices to your eyes
Falling into the beat
Makes my soul wanna rise
let it in your heart
You can feel it warm your soul
Always from the start
Never let it go
Sun as my mother
Show me the way
Keep my path clear and I'll walk it all day
With nothing to fear
There's nothing more to say
Some people like work
But I like to play
Everyday that comes
I state into the sun
Some say it's bad
But I'm having way too much fun
I'll wake up my mind
One day at a time
If you wanna say im wrong
I'll say I'm sublime

Four Letter Word
Words and music by rick nielsen and robin zander
I got a one track mind
I got a twisted heart
I need a lesson in love
Im right on time
For tonights the night
I need your love
Ooh yeah
Caught in the act
Had no alibi, no reason why
To let you down, oh
Stabbed in the back
Though it hurt I let you go
Will you take me back, oh
What was right went wrong, oh
Its alright to put the blame on me
For after all blame it on my last affair
Its alright, it takes two to make it love
cause love can be just a four letter word
A four letter word
I got a one track mind
I got a twisted heart
I need a lesson in love
Im right on time
For tonights the night
I need your love
Day turns to night
I was wrong and you were right
I feel like mr. hyde not dr. j
Sometimes Im not myself
I must be somebody else
To jeopardize your love
What went wrong was right, oh
Its alright to put the blame on me
For after all blame it on my last affair
Its alright, it takes two to make it love
cause love can be just a four letter word
I got a one track mind
I got a twisted heart
I need a lesson in love

Displacement Reaction
Thoughts wander in a desert
Rain give them meaning and peace
But sometimes
Deserts flood by rain.
What senses microscope
Paints the weather that we feel
Sometimes too much paint poisons the heart
The heart confides to the mind.
The mind feels afraid
And the symptoms show in mirrors
The fear it feels
Is the fear of possibility.
Not knowing
Only initiates as fear
God performs displacement reactions
Fear is displaced with hope.
When it floods
Remember god
He gave you the mind
To make a boat.

Talking
Though we talk on the phone
So very often
Only phrases of words
We exchange…
For you are so busy
All the time
Being at office
Or at home.
And I keep wondering
About the right time
To call you up
And have a nice talk
To savour the flavour
Of a relaxing conversation
As that of an evening walk.
Yet I Fear -
Of all what has happened
In the past
That you and me
Talking together
For those lingering moments
Have always ended up
Arguing till the very last.
It might happen again
As it is the
Age-old Tussle
Between the mind
And the heart.
You being the ‘mind’ person
And me of a lover’s heart.
And Yet
There is something
In You
That always pulls me through
All the tussles we have,
All the fights we go through
At the end of it all -
I keep coming back to you.
I know you’ll again hurt me
And I may hurt you too
In this ongoing war of words
Where the mind and the heart
Oppose each other -
So vehemently, so very rudely,
So impassionately, so impolitely
As if they have been
Enemies Forever…
And I wonder and I wait
If there would be a Day
When God would usher in
A miraculous way -
For the mind and the heart
To work in unison
To agree in person
To each other’s say.
And I hope and I pray
That day would come
When the mind tells the heart
Yes – you may feel…
And I’m the one who thinks
And thinks too much
Like the way you feel
And feels too much…
Yet – let us moderate
With some thinking
Of mine
And some feeling
Of yours
And may be, one day
We’ll be Friends
Forever…
For it is hard to stay on
Like this forever
Where you and me
Whenever we talk
We feel like Foes
And anger shows
You lose your temper
And I hold it back
You are unrestrained
I am so controlled.
So let’s harness each other
With some of your freedom
And some of my control
And let’s work it out.
For we may not be
The best of mates
Yet let us try…
To make the most
Of our Fates.
And see if we can
Click and Tick
To the extent
Where we may not
Become soul mates.
Yet a little of love
A little of care…
Some understanding
Would make us fare
Together as Friends.
And we are able to
Sprinkle ourselves
With warmth and affection
Rather than
Firing and fuelling our
Mutual Hates.
So I wait for the Day
When the mind in you
Would be a bit more
Lenient -
To the heart in me.
And I as your lover
Would try to be
A bit reticent
To the Beloved in you.
And no matter,
How long, how often
We talk…
I won’t feel afraid
Of all the talking
As I’ll know for sure
That no matter -
What and how we talk
We’ll get over our hates
And remain as mates
Like friends forever…
