The years, as they come, bring many agreeable things with them as they go, they take many away.

A compliment is a statement of an agreeable truth; flattery is a statement of an agreeable untruth.

Won't Back Down
I know what darkness means
(and the void you left for me)
the isolation stings
(so thick it wants to bleed)
the echoes in my brain
(all the things you said to me)
you took my everything
Now I'm coming for you
I won't back down
I will not bow
I've come to bring you hell
And I can't forget
things you did
I've come to bring you hell
The shadow that you see
(in the places that you sleep)
are memories of me
(you better pray your soul to keep)
the truth behind you eyes
(you know the things you never see)
your darkest little lies
(I'm coming for you)
I won't back down
I will not bow
I've come to bring you hell
And I can't forget things you did
I've come to bring you hell
All the scars that never heal
All the wounds that will not seal
I will not forget the days
Theses memories never fall
I won't back down
I will not bow
And I can't forget
things you did
I've come to bring you hell
I've come to bring you hell
I've come to bring you hell
I've come to bring you hell
I've come to bring you hell
I've come to bring you hell
I've come to bring you hell
I've come to bring you hell
I've come to bring you hell

Bring em All In
Bring em all in, bringem all in, bring em all in,
Bring em all in, bring em all into my heart
Bring em all in, bring em all in, bring em all in
Bring em all in, bring em all into my heart
Bring the little fishes
Bring the sharks
Bring em from the brightness
Bring em from the dark
Bring em from the caverns
Bring em from the heights
Bring em from the shadows
Stand em in the light
Bring em out of purdah
Bring em out of store
Bring em out of hiding
Lay them at my door
Bring the unforgiven

If you wish to appear agreeable in society, you must consent to be taught many things which you know already.

Face determines
Unless you see the woman’s face,
Her other parts you’ve admired
Would fall as hollow and zero.
Parts must connect their face to value.
You would rewrite your judgment
If her face fails your expectations.
An agreeable face only makes
Other parts of her agreeable.

Sunshine Day
Woke up this morning to look at things in their funny way.
Why cant they be like they used to be only yesterday.
Ooh --- bring back my sunshine day.
I look at things that once were mine with such despair.
Why do the things I say only fall on empty air?
Ooh --- bring back my sunshine day.
My mind cries: bring back my sunshine day.
I say the things I used to say, but they dont seem right.
Why does this world seem like the darkest endless night?
Ooh --- bring back my sunshine day.
Bring back my sunshine day.

Paintings
colours, they bring back
scenes and scents
your painting, it brings
brings me back all the years
still i can sit in that chair of
that long lost cafe and
have the privilege of a
tete a tete with friends,
imagined and real
of things we all cherish
the love of art and all the things
that it brings - scenes,
scents, and the time
we thought is lost
forever in time
Second Version
--
colours, they bring back
scenes and scents
your painting, it brings
brings me back all the years
still i can sit in that chair of
that long lost cafe and
have the privilege of a
tete a tete with friends,
imagined and real
of things we all cherish
the love of art and all the things
that it brings - scenes,
scents and geniuses
overheated talents
that drove them lunatics,
madmen manoevring
with the coldness
of the arctics
volcanoes that explode
splotches, dashes
splashes, onto the
canvas of their dreams
colours, they bring back
scenes and scents
paintings, they bring back
all the years nature plods on
against adversities to help
the artist pour out its best onto canvas

Criticism may not be agreeable, but it is necessary. It fulfils the same function as pain in the human body. It calls attention to an unhealthy state of things.

But, Does It Matter How I Feel?
what i want,
is not agreeable
but, does it matter
how i feel,
i just want to be happy,
i'm tired of being a slave,
yeah i stay strong,
for alot of reason,
but, does it matter
how i feel?
i want to be me,
is that so hard to ask for?
a girl who enjoyed to
live day by day,
but, does it matter
how i feel?
helpless cuz life is just unfair,
lonely cuz nobody knows,
what you go through,
just to act like life peachy,
when that just a lie,
but, does it matter
how i feel?
because what i feelin
is not agreeable.

Little Things
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Been around the whole world, still aint seen
Nothin like my neighborhood
And of all the fancy satin and silk
My white cotton feels so good
Searched high and low for a place
Where I can lay my burdens down
Aint nothin in the whole wide world
Like the piece that I have found
(its the little things) its the little things
And the joy they bring
(the little things) its the little things
And joy they bring
As simple as a phone call just to make it known
That youre gonna be a little late
Pure as a kiss on a cheek in a word
That everything will be okay
Call in the mornin from my little sister
Singin to me, happy birthday
In the quest for fortune and fame
Dont forget about the simple things
(its the little things) its the little things
And the joy they bring, yeah
(the little things) its the little things
And joy
Give me some roomful, give me seclusion
Give me some peace of mind
Bring me some sunshine, bring me some blue sky
Runnin round in circles, lost my focus
Lost sight of my goal
I do this for the love of music
Not for the glitter and gold
Got everything that I pray for
Even a little more
When I ask to learn humility
This is what I was told
(its the little things) its the little things
And the joy they bring, its the little things
(the little things) its the little things
Oh...hee...
Give me my guitar, bring me a bright star
Give me new clothes, give me some cute shoes
Give me a ladder, give me some matter
Bring me my peace of mind
Give me some stevie, give me some donny
Give me my daddy, give me my mommy
Pour me some sweet tea, spoonful of honey
I dont need no hollywood

Magic Formula
What heavens opened and blazed,
What sisters virtuous,
What arrows sprang to mark,
The trees so terrible and dark,
What years, what hopes,
What lions all amazed,
What fears disguised,
(These antelopes with frightened eyes)
What things are these?
These are the things that all day long
On things made new
After the sunset has merged with the dawn
I bring to you
These are the things that grow less and less
As sleep devours our nakedness.

Diamonds and Rust
I'll be damned, here comes your ghost again
but that's not unusual
it's just that the moon is full
and you decided to come
And here I sit, hand on the telephone
hearing the voice I'd known
a couple of light years ago
headed straight for a fall
But we both know what memories can bring
they bring Diamonds and Rust
yes we both know what memories can bring
they bring Diamonds and Rust
Now I see you standing with brown leaves all around and snow in your hair
Now we're smiling out the window of the crummy hotel over washington square
and then comes that white clouds, mingles and hangs in the air
Speaking strictly for me
we both could've died then and there
Now you're telling me you're not nostalgic
then give me another word for it
you were so good with words
and at keeping things paid
cause I need some of that vagueness now, it's all come back too clearly
yes, I love you dearly
and if you're offering me diamonds and rust
I've already paid
But we both know what memories can bring
they bring Diamonds and Rust
yes we both know what memories can bring
they bring Diamonds and Rust
Diamonds, Diamonds and Rust
Diamonds, Diamonds and Rust
Diamonds, Diamonds and Rust
Diamonds, Diamonds and Rust

What it is to bathe every day, always to be clad beautifully, to climb mountains for pleasure, to fly, to meet none but agreeable, well mannered people, to conduct researches or make delightful things... a time when all such good things will be for all men may be coming more nearly than we think. Each one who believes that brings the good time nearer; each heart that fails delays it.

Not Every Day
Not every day can be sunny and bright.
Some must be darkened from lack of light.
Not every day can be filled with cheer.
Some must be sad ones that appear.
Not every day can be one you love.
Some must be ones to be rid of.
Not every day can bring success.
Some will find you in a mess.
Not every day will have you smile.
Some will bring you tears for a while.
Not every day will bring you a song.
Some will be silent when things go wrong.
But every day that comes to you
will pass away as all things do.

Island Sanctuary
Sitting on a bench in a park
I have not been in for years
and looking at the changes that had befallen it.
Once I used to visit it quite regularly
through the many passing years
and never took any notice of the changes then.
Some remnants of those days remain
and new things have been added
as some of the old ones have disappeared.
One thing that has never changed
on this island within the city
is the sense of peace it can bring.
The birds and the squirrels still roam free
within this island sanctuary.
Even though many things have changed around them,
their freedom is always ensured.

What Can You Bring Me
(j gadson)
When your lovin is gone
And you cant carry on
What can you bring me
When there aint nobody else
And you cant help yourself
What can you bring me
What can you bring me
Can you bring me that happy day
Let me know that everything is ok
Bring it strong and bring it fast
Bring it till the pain is in the past
What can you bring me, thatll unchain me
What can you bring me
What can you bring me baby
What can you bring me
Like a amn whose on that road, drivin hard towards his goal
Like Im on my last go round
My love lifes lost and cant be found
What can you bring me
What can you bring me
Hurry baby, dont waste time
I need somebody, help me solve this crime
Bring it strong and bring it fast
Bring it till the pain is in the past
What can you bring me, thatll unchain me
What can you bring me
What can you bring me
What can you bring me
What can you bring me
What can you bring me
Help my equilibrium baby
What can you bring me
What can you bring me
What can you bring me
What can you bring me

Clueless
I really don't have clue
All things I do and bad things
I do and keep it a secret can come out at any moment
The guilt built on inside hurt
Clueless
About life and things
Whatever throw and come my way
I let it make me fall down and break into pieces
I get blame for not listening and
Doing the right thing
Clueless
About what I really want to happen and see come true
I need to let my heart decision
I need keep my ears open and
Watch out for people and things
Time and years flying by so fast
I can't be
Cluelesss
Anymore and not let anyone/anything bring me down
Clueless

Dont Bring Me Down
Hm hm hm
Hm hm hm
Im on my own, nowhere to roam
I tell you baby, dont want no home
I wander round, feet off the ground
I even go from town to town
I said I think this rock is grand
Say Ill be your man
Dont bring me down, dont bring me down
I met this chick, the other day
And then to me, she said shell stay
I get this pad, just like a cave
And then well have, our living made
And then Ill lead her on the ground
My head is spinning round
Dont bring me down, dont bring me down
Oh
Huh huh huh huh I need a lover cause someone new
And then to her I will be true
Ill buy her furs and pretty things
Ill even buy a wedding ring
But until then Ill settle down
Say Ill be your man
Dont bring me down, dont bring me down
Until then Ill settle down
Say Ill be your man
Dont bring me down, dont bring me down
Dont bring me down

Call Up
Written by ian bairnson
No one ever lived a thousand years
Not like things we do or say
Some of those who really changed this world
We would welcome back today
They could really light the way
So call up otis
Call up marvin
Call for buddy. bring them on
Call for ludwig
And for johann
We need lennon. we mean john
Words live longer than a thousand years
Listen hard to what they say
Single voices that would change this world
We would welcome back today
They would really light the way
So call up jimi
Lets have stevie
Look for miles to take the floor
Call for billie
Yell for ella
Call up elvis. well need more
So call up einstein
Bring back darwin
Call for newton, and luther king
We need ghandi
Call da vinci
Call for jesus. and ask him in
If we live another thousand years
Who could help along the way?
Some of those who came and changed this world
We would welcome back today
They would really light the way
So call up garbo
Lets have mansfield
Maybe monroe, no shes for sure
Call sinatra
Come on crosby
Is that bogie at the door?
Bring on bergman
How about dietrich
Lets have james dean leave the car
Call picasso
We need monet
Lets have rembrandt and renoir
Call up groucho
Come on gable
Bring on hitchcock and lets get wilde
Come on gershwin

Dont Let It Bring You Down
Though some things in life are hard to bear
Dont let it bring you down
Should the sand of time run out on you
Dont let it bring you down
Dont go down - dont go underground
Things seem strange, but they change
How they change
Up and down your carousel will go
Dont let it bring you down
Dont go down - dont get out of town
Get to know how it goes, how it goes
When the price you have to pay is high
Dont let it bring you down
