Ticket To Lie

Attention annoys me
Could disappoint me
So just take a walk
And try to avoid
The cars in the street now
They could knock you
So just take a bus
Theres a ticket in my hand
If you want
I dont know what you think
Tell me where you want to go
Take a breath when I ask you to
Just try
Close your eyes
Ill take you there
I could take you anywhere
Come fly
Yeah tell me what you want to do
I can make it up for you and lie
Laughter annoys me
Makes me feel sad
Yeah I love that bug
Can I have it back
Theres black all around me
Im lost in this crowd
Theres no coming back
Cause Im on my way down
Theres a ticket in my hand
I cant use it without you
So tell me where you want to go
Take a breath when I ask you to
Just try
Close your eyes
Ill take you there
I could take you anywhere
Come fly
Tell me where you want to go
Take a breath when I ask you to
Just try
Close your eyes
Ill take you there
I could take you anywhere
Come fly
Yeah tell me what you want to do
I can make it up for you and lie
So tell me where you want to go
I will put that ticket in your hand

So you are lean and mean and resourceful and you continue to walk on the edge of the precipice because over the years you have become fascinated by how close you can walk without losing your balance.

Modern science, then, so far from being an enemy of romance, is seen on every hand to be its sympathetic and resourceful friend, its swift and irresistible helper in its serious need, and an indulgent minister to its lighter fancies.

Tender Situation

[studio version appears on "pure guava"]
Wrote this song called "tender situation",
And it somehow just put everything back together
State this ache as the final break
Tender situation - create a good illusion
Feel the grip of your salvation
This is indeed a tender situation
Make a move man, state your case
Taste the waste man, taste the waste
What is your place in my glorification
This is indeed a tender situation
Get off the pot man, shake and bake
Taste the waste boy, taste the waste
Pump it up or stray from that old station
This is indeed a tender situation
Tender situation, tender situation, tender situation
[repeat all]

Sad Situation

When you wake, Ill be gone
Just a space, an empty chair
And I know, I was wrong
Just one more time, then Ill be gone
Who stopped the sky from falling?
Who held you back from harm?
Who stood as walls were falling?
A call still guides us on
Chorus:
Its a sad situation
And no ones to blame
Its a sad situation
Now youre gone
Its a sad situation
Which someday may change
Its a sad situation
Now youre gone
In the dawn, turn the page
We stand alone, as the lions rage
I suppose well move on
A fight of minds, that still breathe strong
Who stopped the sky from falling?
Who held you back from harm?
Who held you close when hurting?
Who keeps the doves of hope?
Chorus

Peculiar Situation

(clarke / hicks / nash)
We take walks in storms on rainy nights
When its cold I hold you close to me
When we dine you help me choose the wine
Its these things that mean so much to me
Aint this a peculiar situation
Were lovers but we dont make love
But when these things mean so much to us
Well, thats all right
I dont think your father is too rich
And I know your mother has good taste
And its not because youre beautiful
When youre busy you find time for me
Aint this a peculiar situation
Were lovers but we dont make love
But when these things mean so much to us
Well, thats all right
But when these things mean so much to us
Well, thats all right
You do well at things that interest you
When asked out you never turn away
If youre wrong you dont mind saying so
Not too proud to phone me when youre down
Aint this a peculiar situation
Were lovers but we dont make love
But when these things mean so much to us
Well, thats all right
Aint this a peculiar situation
Aint this a peculiar situation
Aint this a peculiar situation

People are selfish

"People are selfish and oriented" book had nice quote
We sometimes let it go even though it seems with sugar coat
We like words uttered in praise
Even though we know it means start of bad phase

We should know what is right and wrong for us
We should never follow any one and blindly trust
People are far more intelligent than what we think
Their deeds can not be put on page with ink

It is said if you give little finger
They will try to hold hand altogether
They will demand more if shown little favor once
Next time they come determined and take another chance

It is human nature and search for people to accommodate
It is common concern for people to share and relate
But if no avenue is open in tense situation
Then there prevails uncertainty and confusion

By hook or crook you try to secure a passage
The situation is so tight that you are unable to manage
It has become do or die situation and got to be through
The only option available is either to pursue or woo

It is difficult to secure any kind of loan unconditionally
It an be obtained from friends occasionally
It spoils the relation later on as we fail to return
Now it proves headache for friend in turn

Try to avoid monetary exchange among relatives
Even if that is unavoidable then make it subjective
Think of bad risk always and forget as soon as given
But if relation is spoiled then nothing will be forgiven

Id Rather Be Strong

(myles goodwyn)
Published by slalom publishing co. - bmi
Its a sad situation
Alot of hopeless information
On the news
Nothins gonna please you
And nothins gonna change
Well thats your view
So many hungry people
Its a shame and is it legal?
Well its a sight
Theres something goin on
Somethin we can change
And its our right
So Id rather be strong
In a hopeless situation, yes
I would rather be strong
In a hopeless situation, yes
I would rather be strong
In a hopeless situation
Yes I would, yes I would
Well you can say its a shame
And things remain the same
And so it goes
But no ones gonna hear you
And no ones gonna see
What doesnt show
Itd be cause for celebration
If only every nation understood
And helping one another
And doing for the other, what they could
And Id rather be strong
In a hopeless situation, yes
I would rather be strong
And to show determination, yes
I would rather be strong
In a hopeless situation
Yes I would, yes I would
Id be a lot better off if I could
Be part of the love
Thats seemingly lost from above
A delicate situation (situation)
Requires contemplation, everyone (everyone)
And someone has to care (someone to care)
When people live in fear of each mans son (each mans son)
So Id rather be strong
In a hopeless situation
Yes, I would rather be strong
In a hopeless situation
Yes, I would rather be strong
In a hopeless situation
Yes, I would, yes, I would
Id be a lot better off if I could
Be part of the love
Thats seemingly lost from above
Id rather be strong, ooh yes, I would
Well, Id rather be strong, yes I would, yes I would, yes I would
Well, Id rather be strong, ooh yes I would
Well, Id rather be strong, be strong, yes I would, yes I would
Well, Id rather be strong, yes I would
Well Id rather be strong, be strong, yes I would
In a hopeless situation
Yes, I would rather be strong
In a hopeless situation, yes
I would rather be strong
In a hopeless situation
Yes, I would rather be strong
In a hopeless situation, yes
I would rather be strong

I'm sure that was the right step, even though, formally speaking, it may seem disadvantageous for a president to resign. But, looking into what is happening today and what is going to happen in the future, I think history will show I made the right decision.

Close Again

Written by orbison/melson.
When evening shadows fall.
Im not lonely at all.
Now that youre with me I recall.
How much I love you.
Close again.
Now Im alright, tonight were close again.
Touching your hand means that were close again.
Reaching each other now within
At last were two are really close again.
How long has it been since we loved like this? ,
Ill never ever know.
It seems like only yesterday.
Yet it seems so long ago.
Close again.
Down deep inside were both are close again.
A love that died can be alive again.
I can survive because youve let me in.
Into your heart so very close again.
So love me,like you loved me when you loved me,
And say thats all you want to do.
I am what I am,and all that I am.
Is in love with you,and only you.
So close again.
Thats all that matter,were close again.
Dreams that were scattered are close again.
Hearts that were shattered begin to mend.
Cant help but cry.
For you and I are close again.

Avoid The Light - I

Avoid the light - i
(spoken)
(...)
Modern day plague. stronger than any and every virus, disease, or
Sickness.
Full eclipse, (of body emity.)
Anti-christian, and eternally alive.
Buried underneath.
2000 years of histories.
Yet able to rise.
Instinctively arise.
Avoid the light.
The sounds and sight.
The undead should be sleeping.
Avoid the light.
That cross so bright.
My (fledglings) dropping, weeping.
Avoid the light.
Overt your sight.
Go underground just leave me.
Avoid the light.
Avoid the light.
Avoid the light.
Avoid the light.
(spoken)
True and purely a horror. mans ultimate enemy and predator wrapped
Into one.
Spread like wings, of damnated.
Then folding into, shaping mortal man.
Not safe.
Plasmic cover, will override.
True emotions.
(the peeling version), to guard my countless (grains).
Avoid the light.
The sounds and sight.
The undead should be sleeping.
Avoid the light.
That cross so bright.
My (fledglings) dropping, weeping.
Avoid the light.
Overt your sight.
Go underground just leave me.
Alone, unseen, reborn, (receive).
Its a battle of wills.
In glorious, (we can).
Avoid the light.
The sounds and sight.
The undead should be sleeping.
Avoid the light.
That cross so bright.
My (fledglings) dropping, weeping.
Avoid the light,
Overt you sight.
Go underground just leave me.
Avoid the light.
Avoid the light.
Avoid the light.
Avoid the light.

Gravity Of The Situation

(vic chesnutt)
We blew past the army motorcade
And its abnormal load haulage
The gravity of the situation
Came on us like a bit of new knowledge
The bubbliest bubble bath
Broke down on the bank
The gravity of the situation
Is why our old thought bubbles sank
Humble and gracious
The gravity of the situation
A fat hungry english crow
Picking at a badger carcass
The gravity of the situation
Is hard to focus and harness
We met bill lowery
At the queens hall
The gravity of the situation
Became apparent to us all
