The only thing wrong with immortality is that it tends to go on forever.

Get On The Right Thing
All at once you get love on your mind
And your world is as kind as a penny
Oh.... and you knew it all along / you did the right thing
Believe me its true / and it can happen to you
All at once you get sound in your ears
And your cloud disappears into yellow
Well you know they were were wrong
Get on the right thing / well you knew it all along
Get on the right thing
Believe me its so / because I happen to know
Try a little love, you cant go wrong
Get on the right thing (repeat twice)
My little love you cant go wrong
Get on the right thing / get on the right thing
Get on tee right thing do / get on the right thing you
All at once we see things in our skies
And we both realize it together
Well you know they were wrong
Get on the right thing / yes you knew it all along
Get on the right thing / believe me its so
Because I happen to know / you cant go wrong
Get on the right thing, get on the right thing,
Get on the right thing / you cant go wrong get on the right thing
And try a little love / and it cant go wrong
Get on the right thing you etc.
Try a little love, you cant go wrong
Get on the right thing etc.

Forever Hasn't Got Here Yet
Girl whatcha talkin' 'bout, I ain't believin' this
I ain't settlin' for none of this foolishness
We can't let a sure thing drown in a puddle of doubt
It's just some rocky road but we've got solid ground
It's just a little bump we can work around
We've got a lifetime ahead so don't go quittin' me now
Come on baby we're still together
This ain't as good as it's gonna get
I swore I'd love you 'til the end of forever
And forever hasn't got here yet
Does it matter girl who's really right or wrong
This ain't the kinda thing we should sleep on
I say we start it all over tonight with a kiss
So slide over here mamma, it's gonna be alright
Let's write it off as just another angry night
I like it better when we're makin' up like this
Come on baby we're still together
This ain't as good as it's gonna get
I swore I'd love you 'til the end of forever
And forever hasn't got here yet
Come on baby we're still together
This ain't as good as it's gonna get
I'll still love you 'til the end of forever
And forever hasn't got here yet
I'll still love you 'til the end of forever
And forever hasn't got here yet
No it hasn't got here yet

Sonnet- Life Is Flexible
It is not wrong to make mistakes often;
It is not wrong to do blunders in life;
It is not wrong to see mishaps happen;
It is not wrong to panic 'midst your strife.
It is not wrong to be lazy some days;
It is not wrong to make decisions wrong;
It is not wrong to squander wealth some ways;
It is not wrong to love a thing for long.
It is not wrong to come late while bell chimes,
It is not wrong to selfish be, at times;
It is not wrong to envy some sometimes;
It is not wrong to sin too many times.
It is not wrong to err where others don't;
'Tis wrong to feel guilty when others won't.

Forgiveness
forgive me...
for saying the wrong thing,
thinking the wrong thing,
feeling the wrong thing,
doing the wrong thing...
for taking what i could not
get any other way...
for not giving what i had...
forgive me for not listening,
for not getting involved,
for fighting when i shouldnt,
for not standing up when i should!
forgive me for being selfish
instead of selfless...
fogive me for not forgiving you!
forgive me for being human,
and so set us both free!

The major difference between a thing that might go wrong and a thing that cannot possibly go wrong is that when a thing that cannot possibly go wrong goes wrong it usually turns out to be impossible to get at and repair.

Im On Automatic
This is metal rhythm
A new song on the radio
Some new face
A picture on your wall
Talk to me
You say its nothing personal
But somethings wrong
Its eating me alive
I cant fine the reason
So I cant find the cure
They say nothingss wrong forever
But that somethings wrong with me
Oh Ive been down so far
Ive never hurt like this
Im on automatic
Ive heard it all before
Some new flavour
With nothing in the hear
This isnt music
This is survival
But Im still here
Now isnt that strange
I cant find the reason
So I cant find the cure
They say nothings wrong forever
But that somethings wrong with me
Oh Ive been down so far
Ive never hurt like this
They say nothings wrong forever
But that somethings wrong with me
Oh Ive been down so far
Nothings ever hurt like this

Too Much Of A Good Thing
Smiles in the morning
As warm as sunshine
Kisses when I lay down at night
And 2 loving arms
To console me
I should be scared, it's so right
But, too much of a good thing
Is a good thing
Feelings like this can't be wrong
And, too much of a good thing
Is a good thing
And we've got a good thing going on
You look in my eyes
And see my thinkin'
I know when you're happy, when you're sad
Someone said
It's too perfect
But, I don't think what we have is so bad
Cause, too much of a good thing
Is a good thing
Feelings like this can't be wrong
And, too much of a good thing
Is a good thing
And we've got a good thing going on
And we've got a good thing going on

(We Want) The Same Thing
Here is my case
We've got no time to waste
Cuz we want the same thing
We're fighting a war
But we don't know what for
Cuz we want the same thing
I know we're different now
Different as night and day
But still want you near
I just want you to stay
I wanna take this chance
I want to be with you
Cuz what you're looking for
I am looking for too
We dream the same thing
We want the same thing ...ooh...
And all that we need is to
See it together
We dream the same dream
We want the same thing ...ooh...
For now, for love, forever, amen
I look in your eyes and
I know deep inside that
We want the same thing
Breaking the chains that
Just keep us in shame
Cuz we want the same thing
No matter what we say
No matter what we do
Beyond the battlelines
Baby we know what's true
We dream the same thing
We want the same thing ...ooh...
And all that we need is to
See it together
We dream the same dream
We want the same thing ...ooh...
For now, for love, forever, amen

Birth of death
Birth of death
(Stream of consciousness poetry)
This is a well thinking thought
How to control
A robot
Before inventing,
How do you cherish
The success of poetry
Before composing,
This is a well thinking thought
Of the immortality
To give the meaning
The state of being
As the creator
Can not create
The enemy of
Immortality,
Which He Himself is,
Death
Is the success
Of the game plan
Before the game
Was invented
But loophole lies
The immortality
Does not have life.
What's the pleasure
Of being an entity
Of immortality
Without taste
Of life and death!
(He Himself knows)

Why Did You Mess With Forever?
I came by to get my things,
thank you for getting the door,
but i dont feel right walking in a war.
You think its cruel
i did my cyring at home.
but i'm alone now, i'm alone before.
i'm on my way, i have one more thing to ask.
was it worth the price you paid for my never coming back?
why did you mess with forever?
oooh oooh oooh
such a long time to be unkind.
why did you mess with forever?
ohohoh yeah
dont you call me cruel,
cruel's what you're making me do.
stick to my rules, i'm at odds with me now.
so stay, don't go ahead, and stay before i'm on my way
i have one more thing to ask.
was it worth the price you paid for me never coming back?
why did you mess with forever?
oooh oooh oooh
such a long time to be unkind.
why did you mess with forever?
you asked to kiss me once goodbye
well, you already did on somebody else's lips.
till the tiny chemicals, the one's you hold responsible.
they lost me , you lost me.
everything inside me tells me i should run to you and throw my arma around you.
hold your stealin crying cheek against mine and tell you nothings wrong.
but wrong was what you were when you forgot
we were goin on,
we were goin on,
we were goin on
Tell me why did, why did you mess with forever?
oooh oooh oooh
what a long time to be unkind.
why did you mess with forever?
ohohoh yeah

Looking (Meditation)
looking for awakening,
i gave up, and quit looking,
- the petals opened!
i do the wrong thing,
say the wrong thing,
think the wrong thing,
feel the wrong thing...
so many times every day
that it pisses me off!
seems like the harder i try
the worse i become!
maybe i need to quit trying!
looking for freedom,
i gave up, and quit looking,
- my chains fell to the ground!
i walk down this same road
again and again, and
nothing ever changes!
every time i get to the end
it begins again.
this really pisses me off!
seems like the further i walk
the further i have to go!
maybe i need to quit walking!
looking for redemption,
i gave up, and quit looking,
-and found the key within my heart!

Who Wants To Live Forever
Words and music by brian may
Theres no time for us
Theres no place for us
What is this thing that builds our dreams yet slips away
From us
Who wants to live forever
Who wants to live forever....?
Theres no chance for us
Its all decided for us
This world has only one sweet moment set aside for us
Who wants to live forever
Who wants to live forever?
Who dares to love forever?
When love must die
But touch my tears with your lips
Touch my world with your fingertips
And we can have forever
And we can love forever
Forever is our today
Who wants to live forever
Who wants to live forever?
Forever is our today
Who waits forever anyway?

Why, oh why, why, oh why cant i
Be in love forever
Oh why cant i
Be in love for ever
And ever and ever
I wonder
Why, oh why, why, oh why cant i
Be in love forever
First thing you know
Is what youre looking for
Next thing you know is where you find it
You cant explain the pain
Of feelin so alone
So I wont even try to tell you, no
Why, oh why, why, oh why cant i
Be in love forever
Oh why cant i
Be in love for ever
And ever and ever
I wonder
Why, oh why, why, oh why cant i
Be in love forever
Some days it hurts so bad
Cant take it anymore
Those days and nights
They last forever
Some ways of feelin good dont feel good anymore
They only mask your real feelings
Why, oh why, why, oh why
Halfway up, halfway down
Wont you turn my luck around
Halfway here, halfway there
Say the words and Ill be there
Why, oh why, why, oh why cant i
Be in love forever
Oh why cant i
Be in love for ever
And ever and ever
I wonder
Why, oh why, why, oh why cant i
Be in love forever
Be in love forever
Be in love forever
Be in love forever

Now that youre gone
Gone forever
But the day goes on
Forever
When we were young
With time to waste
Everything was clear and good
Thought we could live
For a thousand years
But yesterday is done
And tomorrows yet to come
Youll never know
Forever
Now that youre gone
Gone forever
But the day goes on
Forever
Yea yea yea
Forever
And I remember when we were fools
Everything was me and you
Thought we were kings
With time to kill
But yesterday is done
And tomorrows yet to come
You live and learn
Some people never take the time to try
The way you lives the way you die
The stuff of lifes in short supply
And if it sometimes hits you strong
Remembering that things go wrong
The song of life is just a song
And everything goes on and on
Forever
Now that youre gone
Gone forever
But the day goes on
Forever
Yea yea yea
Forever

Guard Us
Guard us from wrong in the way
People dismay and do away with justice.
Special logs are rolling for talk of immortality
Then utmost, always in order to achieve
The biggest reward, a sentence is written
For the work and I have also meaning attached.
Guard us from the inaccuracy of spelling,
How this turns into right, not wrong.
We faster grow our turnips in the garden
Of our triumphs, triumphant being is ours.
The wrong of dear people is forced upon the strange,
Inside them is a disease though, thought to be mindless.

Everything's Wrong
(E. Stefani, J. Rosa)
The bed is made, so is the cake
The frogs are swimming down in the lake
The chairs are stacked and the house is locked
The food is eaten and the boat is docked
The flowers are watered and the glass is filled
The chain is linked, the money's billed
The walls are painted and the bell has rang
What is wrong? Everything!
1, 2, 3, 4
Everything everything everything's wrong
Ever quit your bitchin and you want to go on
But if you look at me you laugh and you say
'Why just give me another thing, don't tell me this way'
Everything's wrong
Everything's wrong
Your hat is sewn, the clock is set
The toilet's flushed and the sponge is wet
The lights are on and your shoes are tied
My posters are up and my hair is dyed
The house is built and the records scratched
Your dishes are dirty and your pants are patched
The chrome is shiny and the juice tastes like tang
What is wrong? Everything!
That's all I say, I say no more
So please don't ask for an encore!
1, 2, 3, 4
Everything everything everything's wrong
Ever quit your bitchin and you want to go on
But if you look at me you laugh and you say
'Why just give me another thing, don't tell me this way'
Everything's wrong
Everything's wrong
Everything's wrong
Everything's wrong

My Loss
Watching as you drive away
Speed away so fast
Knowing something's different now
That ending was our last
Nothing describes the emptiness filled inside
Take me to that place
Where everything's fine
And not a worry in mind
Sweeter to the taste
This is my loss (my loss)
I did it wrong and i'd do it again
To be with you feels like the right thing
This is my loss (my loss)
I did it wrong and i try to pretend
That nothing's changed for all that you bring
For all that you bring
Simple is so complex now
So I understand
That I never thought that happy could be distraught
Help me if you can
This is my loss (my loss)
I did it wrong and i'd do it again
To be with you feels like the right thing
This is my loss (my loss)
I did it wrong and i try to pretend
That nothing's changed for all that you bring
Well I know I'm wrong
And you know I'm here
I don't want to let you disapear
What am I worth when your eyes were
Begging me in fear
I only want to see you again
And repair the wounds that brought me in
I don't want to think it won't happen again
This is my loss (my loss)
I did it wrong and i'd do it again
To be with you feels like the right thing
This is my loss (my loss)
I did it wrong and i try to pretend
That nothing's changed for all that you bring
For all that you bring
For all that you bring
For all you bring
