I knew from the start if I left a woman I really loved -- the Great Society -- in order to fight that bitch of a war in Vietnam then I would lose everything at home. My hopes my dreams.

The War Within (myfirst Set Of Lyrics)
Feelings left behind,
memories a pain
the future left blind,
hopes fade behind the stains.
The war within
rages in flame,
each day a new battle hopes held in,
each day the same
Weight building
fear screaming,
hopes fading
dreams disappearing,
the war within
the war will not stop
the war is our own
the war leaves us feeling alone
unable to see
unable to hear
the unbearable storm
within our own war
The war within
we fight
we hope
we're not alone
We all fight
we all have dreams
we all feel pain
we all feel alone
The war within
we all are connected
we all fight within
we all are never alone
We will always fight
we will always hope
we will always feel
we are together
The war within
will never win
the war within
we will not lose
Happy Women's Day
As a woman I died several times in this life
But just being a woman, I had to courage to raise again
As a woman, I fell to the gutters of chauvinism
Yet, just being a woman, I took that in stride of my feminism
As a woman, I cried several unending nights
Yet, I showed up a brave face and ready to fight
As a woman, I hurried to several trains to catch
Yet, I never left behind any unfinished match
As a woman, I loved being loved all the time
Yet, I had the courage to withstand ditching too
As a woman, I always liked to be dressed the best
But just being a woman, I did dress up to the situations true
As a woman, I shared my meal and peace all the time
Yet, I also learnt to let go my meal for a cause in tide
As a woman, I got shunned by the people of the society
Yet, I stood back and said, I am proud to be what I am as a woman
As a woman, I know I glorified everything that I liked
Yet, I had the right to reject what is not right in its form
As a woman, I lent my shoulders for friends to lean on
But just being a woman, I warned them not to be vulnerable on
As a woman, I know the struggles are many and always on
Yet being a woman, I know God made us that way to deal on
As a woman, I like the way You look at me and say so
But just being a woman, remember I am not a show case piece
As a woman, I love rest of my women folks who are wonderful
In not just the way they are, but for being great friends too
For being enduring Mothers, efficient professionals, loving daughters
And for being great wives and being Divas in their own Right!

She's A Bitch
She's a bitch
I once loved her but now I hate her
I once was sad to think of her dying but now I really dont give a shit
because She's a bitch
I can't believe I actually listened to her bullshit
I can't believe I tried to commit suicide over her ass
Shes a bitch
I don't know what I though about her that was so special
Shes a bitch
She will deceive you
She will make you feel loved
Until shes finished with you
Shes a bitch
She despises love
She hates the sound of it
Because shes a cold hearted bitch
What else would you expect
She seemed so perfect
Until her flaws started showing through
She seemed so loving
Until I found out the truth
Shes a bitch
The ones who seem so perfect
Are the ones that you really need to stay away from
Shes a bitch
Even thou shes a bitch
Shes my bitch
and thats the end of it.

Cant Fight Your Desire
(m&l - deris)
Hes got the woman
Out of your dreams
Youll never find out
What it all means
But youve got patience
And still believe
That youll be there
When she will leave
Someone will lose
Somebodys finding
Somebody smiles
Somebodys crying
Cant fight
You cant fight your desire
You cant fight your dreams, yeah
You cant fight your desire
Hold on to your dreams, yeah
So listen hard now
Man you should know
If youre just waiting
Your doubts will grow
You self-believe
Already small
Get up now
You can have it all
Someone will lose
Somebodys finding
Somebody smiles
Somebodys crying
Cant fight
You cant fight your desire
You cant fight your dreams, yeah
Cant fight
You cant fight your desire
Hold on to your dreams, yeah
Someone will lose
Somebodys finding
Somebody smiles
Somebodys crying
Cant fight
You cant fight your desire
You cant fight your dreams, yeah

Dreamers
I used to be a dreamer,
and hope for the best,
but then I fell below,
with the rest.
I thought I understood,
I thought I knew right,
but I never knew,
I'd lose the fight.
I gave up that day,
on my dreams,
because they got me nowhere,
so it seems.
My dreams were pointless,
just false hopes,
when yet I was,
bound with ropes.
Tied to this world,
full of fear and pain,
and there was I,
stuck in the rain.
I was a dreamer,
many years before,
but there is just,
no use anymore.

What a Bitch You Are
What a bitch you are,
Your bitch ass said you
Loved me but you were only
using me to get a car.
What bitch you are
You had me waste two years of my life
With your fake ass promises that one day I’d be your wife.
What a bitch you are
When I wanted loving instead of you
Scream my name. Your bitch ass would rather play a fuckin’ video game.
What a bitch you are
I used to clean and cook for you,
But instead of appreciating it you complained that I was smothering you.
What a bitch you are,
To leave me for that no good ho’
You to stupid to realize that all she wants is your doe.
What a bitch you are,
Call me and hanging up
Just because you are jealous that
I now got a good man.
who loves me for who I am.
Now don’t get twisted
You are no longer in my heart
I just wanted to tell you what a bitch you are.
Start From The Dark
Said you were ordinary
Would not amount to much
I guess they never knew you
You found the place they couldnt touch
Said you were nothing special
Always kept to yourself
You had to fight your own way
Theres always been touch too much at stake
What you gonna do?
Cause youre just like me
What you gonna do?
Tonight, this is where we go
To find out who we really are
Weve got nothing left to lose
Tonight, this is how we breathe
To put some strength back in our hearts
Weve got nothing left to lose
We start from the dark
Youll never pass for someone
Wholl find a place in life
you sough to take that last breath
to give away your heart and mind
What you gonna do?
Cause youre just like me
What you gonna do?
Tonight, this is where we go
To find out who we really are
Weve got nothing left to lose
Tonight, this is how we breathe
To put some strength back in our hearts
Weve got nothing left to lose
We start from the dark
Start from the dark
What you gonna do?
Cause youre just like me
What you gonna do?
Tonight, this is where we go
To find out who we really are
Weve got nothing left to lose
Tonight, this is how we breathe
To put some strength back in our hearts
Weve got nothing left to lose
We start from the dark
Start from the dark

Aint Love A Bitch
(rod stewart / gary grainger)
Been in pain and Ive been in shame
But aint love a bitch
I been in fights, locked away for nights
But aint love a bitch
I been tailed, impaled, strung up
And nailed and left without a stitch
I been scratched n taxed n finally axed
But aint love a bitch
Oh I didnt understand till I was seventeen
She took me way upstairs and she wiped me clean
Oh I didnt realize she made a first class fool out of me
Oh maggie if youre still out there the rest is history
Youre all alone in the freezing cold
By the underground
Your hands are numb and youre feeling dumb
Cos you been let down
You thought you were rough and kinda tough
And maybe out of reach
Youre acting chic, playing hide n seek
But aint love a bitch
Oh I must state right here I been there before
My eyes were closed and so my friends
I still dont know the score
Oh dont underestimate the strength of it
It may be unwise to analyze even the cause of it
Youre driving home late one night and on the radio
Comes an old familiar song you used to know so well
(you know a lot about that)
Oh I cant comprehend this thing called love
Maybe its a matter of fact I just cant grow up
Deep down aint we all a little juvenile
All I really wanna know is there one sweet angel
That can make me smile
Aint love a bitch
Torrential rains, wars and hurricanes
I wouldnt budge an inch
Your rents unpaid and your team lose again
But aint love a bitch
You can lose your job, your home and your health
But aint love a bitch
Take it or leave it some day youll feel it
cos love is the bitch
Aint love the bitch, aint love a bitch
Aint love a bitch, aint love a bitch
Aint love a bitch

Love's A Bitch
Oh!...oh!
Loves got me by the ass again
I've been in love since I don't know when
I keep a-runnin' and I don't know why
Love's givin' me a crock of lies
Out of breath and I'm out of time
Misery is a ruff fight
Love's a bitch, baby
Love's a bitch, yes it's crazy
Love's a bitch, baby
Love's a bitch, yeah it's crazy
Love's a bitch!
Like a cat with diamond eyes
Love's power it can hypnotize
Done me in (ha)
More than twice
She'll make you think that it's over night
Your all alone in a room that's wrong
Your body shakes
Your feet are cold
Love's a bitch, baby
Love's a bitch, yeah it's crazy
Love's a bitch, baby
Love's a bitch, yes it's crazy
Love's a bitch! (whoa, ooh ooh, yes it is)
(Oh, oh, oh)
Such a bitch (oh)
Don't you wait, don't stand still
Gotta keepa movin' or you'll pay the bill
Go by car, go by train
You gotta keepa runnin' or you'll feel the pain
Keepa runnin', keepa runnin'
Love's a bitch, baby
Love's a bitch, yes it's crazy
Love's a bitch, bitch, bitch, baby
Love's a bitch, it's crazy
Love's a bitch! (NO!)
It's a bitch!!!!

Why Do I Go
There are those who ask me why?
Why do I go to fight fight and maybe die.
For many reasons I answer the call.
Some will understand others not at all.
Because I am a warrior
my given orders I must obey.
To seek and destroy all those
who align with evildoers.
Because of my ideals and values.
Yes I will go I will man the lines.
I will fight because my heart tells me.
I must protect my loved ones.
My loved ones because I cannot bear
perception of their pain
or forever gone from my care.
Yes I must respond.
I go because I believe tyrants threaten.
To gain dominance by force
instill fear and harm.
To innocent gentle souls.
I go because somewhere
someone's freedom.
is jeophardized.
Held captive of terror and threat.
I must fight despite great odds.
Keeping safe all people's right.
To live and choose freely
to realize each's hopes and dreams.
To protect the privilege
of everyone's natural right
to voice unafraid their feelings.
To carry on that fight I must go.

Daddy's Got A Woman
Daddy’s got a woman that makes him feel right
Tell mummy I love her and I won’t be home tonight
Daddy’s got a woman that makes him feel right
A man he's got needs, a man's got passions too
A man he's got dreams, that he needs to work through
A man he's got hopes, someday will come true
A man he needs love, the same love he gives to you
Doesn’t matter how many times, I just don’t understand
How the love of a woman, can weave such magic on a man
Here am I with the woman of my dreams
While at home sleeps the woman I need
Daddy’s got a woman that makes him feel right
Tell mummy I love her and I’m coming home tonight
Daddy’s got a woman that makes him feel right
break
Honey is sweet, honeycomb both pleasure and decay
Mamma’s got needs, mamma’s got feelings too
Mamma’s got dreams, just as much as you
Mamma’s got hopes, some day will come true
Mamma’s got to know, if you lover her the way she loves you
Mamma’s got moves, she’s gonna use them tonight
Mamma’s got views, to share by candlelight
Mamma’s got words, you only hear when you hold her tight
Mamma’s got to know, if you love her the way the way she does you
Daddy’s got a woman that makes him feel right
Tell mummy I love her and I’m coming home tonight
Daddy’s got a woman that makes him feel right

Sanctity Of Dreams
Paint a moustache on the Mona Lisa
Ride a Harley through the heart of danger
Pick up a pen and fight a war for the right to dream
I was seventeen
Give up my house, sleep for nights on concrete
Meditate with all the bums on Vine Street
No more running, no more hiding in the house of the dead
I think I'll grow some dreads
I believe in the sanctity of dreams
No more running from these masqueraders
I believe that society will never dream like me
I dream of loving, of the empty graveyard
I dream of Vegas and the transcendental wildcard
A place where noone waits to die before they go into the light
And just the blind have sight
I follow nothing but the compass of my instinct
No matter where it leads, I know it will take me to the brink
And leave me there by myself and all alone with my dreams
Can you hear my scream?
I believe in the sanctity of dreams
No more running from these masqueraders
I believe that society will never dream like me
Never dream like me
Society will never dream like me
Never dream like me
Ooh ooh ooh
I believe in the sanctity of dreams
No more running from these masqueraders
I believe that society will never dream like me
Oh-oh
I believe in the sanctity of dreams
No more running from these masqueraders
I believe that society will never dream like me
Never dream like me
Society
Society will never dream like me

Hero
Collins demo version released as b-side of we wait and we wonder single,
1994)
Well it was one of those great stories
That you cant put down at night
The hero knew what he had to do
And he wasnt afraid to fight
The villain goes to jail, while the hero goes free
I wish it were that simple for me.
And the reason that she loved him
Was the reason I loved him too
And he never wondered what was right or wrong
He just knew - he just knew.
Shadows and shape mixed together at dawn
But by time you catch them simplicitys gone
And so we sort through the pieces
My friends and i
Searching through the darkness to find
The breaks in the sky.
And the reason that she loved him
Was the reason I loved him too
And he never wondered what was right or wrong
He just knew - he just knew.
And we wonder, yes we wonder
How do you make sense of this
When the hero kills the maiden
With his kiss - with his kiss.
Well it was one of those great stories
That you cant put down at night
The hero knew what he had to do
And he wasnt afraid to fight
The villain goes to jail, while the hero goes free
I wish it were that simple for me
- if it were that simple for me.

Wouldnt Any Woman
(written by mark d. sanders, michele mccord, and bob dipiero)
Baby, Im just heart and soul, and flesh and bone
I sigh when you kiss me
Cry when you leave me alone
You tell me Im special, but this time, tell me the truth
The way you love me, wouldnt any woman do
Ive tried everything with you, even livin on faith
Wouldnt any woman
When everybody else knew it was already too late
Wouldnt any woman
Ive loved you to the limits of my self-respect
Now, Im leavin with whats left
Wouldnt any woman
If I had one wish, Id only wish you well
Wouldnt tell one story if I had one story to tell
Well, baby, please stay sounds sweet, but way down deep you know
Im not goin anywhere, wouldnt any woman go
Ive tried everything with you, even livin on faith
Wouldnt any woman
When everybody else knew it was already too late
Wouldnt any woman
Ive loved you to the limits of my self-respect
Now, Im leavin with whats left

Love Letters From Syur
Roses are red
violets are blue
I'm thinking of you
If only you knew
The stars are like dreams,
painted across the sky
put their for you and I
and if only they could describe
The way you make me feel
How I wish these dreams were real
Or how you got me head over heals
But remember
You were the one who walked away
and left me on that cold winter day
Just left me to freeze away
On that cold winter day
Oh what a beautiful way
To start my day
as to see your face
In this horrible place
This place we all call home
Were I am left alone
With no one to call my own
Life like this is pretty tough
But just to see you is enough
but just remember
You were the one who walked away
and left me on that cold winter day
Just left me to freeze away
On that cold winter day
I'll fight away your fears
I'll wipe away your tears
For now until the end of time
If that's what it takes for you to be mine
And until then I'll sit here
Waiting for you my dear
Cause all you gotta do is simply say
Lets go back in time before that cold winter day
that cold winter day
