Regardless of how you feel inside, always try to look like a winner. Even if you are behind, a sustained look of control and confidence can give you a mental edge that results in victory.

The Winner
Written by c. jackson, m. yancy and g. barge
In this world of make believe I must confess
To be number one youve got to do it better
And if you strive to be happy youll find success
Perspectively youve got to pull it together
Nothing good will come to you if you dont see
A reason for victory
Everybody loves the winner
Only the winner can really make things happen
Everybody loves the winner, so be the winner, I know you are
If theres something youd like to do youve never done
Dont let fear stand in your way
Just collect your dreams and thoughts and get on the run
I wouldnt wait another day
You can be the best in everything you do
When it thawls out, its all up to you
Everybody loves the winner (everybody loves the winner)
Only a winner can really make things happen
Everybody loves a winner (everybody loves a winner)
So be the winner you are
Be a winner, ooh (yes you can, yes you can, yes you can)
Be a winner, ooh (yes you can, yes you can, yes you can)
Be a winner, a winner, a winner, yes you can
cause everybody (everybody) loves (loves a winner)
The winner, so be a winner
You can only make things happen
Everybody (everybody) loves a winner (loves a winner)

Control
I love the way you look at me
I feel the pain you place inside
you lock me up inside your dirty cage
while I'm alone inside my mind
I'd like to teach you all the rules
I get to see them set in stone
I like it when you chain me to the bed
well then your secrets never shone
I need to feel you
you need to feel me
I can't control you
you're not the one for me no
I can't control you
you can't control me
I need to feel you
so why's it involve
I love the way you rape my skin
I feel the hate you place inside
I need to get your voice out of my head
'cause I'm the guy you'll never find
I faking all of the rules
theres no expresions on your face
I'm hopeing someday you will let me go
release me from my dirty cage
I need to feel you
you need to feel me
I can't control you
you're not the one for me no
I can't control you
you can't control me
I need to feel you
so why's it involve
you and me
I love the way you look at me
I love the way you smack my ass
I love the dirty things you do
I have control of you
(repeat 4X)
I need to feel you
you need to feel me
I can't control you
you're not the one for me no
I can't control you
you can't control me
I need to feel you
so why's it involve
you and me
You're not the one for me no
You're not the one for me no
You're not the one for me no
You're not the one for me no

The Winner Takes It All
I DON┬┤T WANNA TALK
ABOUT THE THINGS WE┬┤VE GONE THROUGH
THOUGH IT┬┤S HURTING ME
NOW IT┬┤S HISTORY
I┬┤VE PLAYED ALL MY CARDS
AND THAT┬┤S WHAT YOU┬┤VE DONE TOO
NOTHING MORE TO SAY
NO MORE ACE TO PLAY
THE WINNER TAKES IT ALL
THE LOSER STANDING SMALL
BESIDE THE VICTORY
THAT┬┤S HER DESTINY
I WAS IN YOUR ARMS
THINKING I BELONGED THERE
I FIGURED IT MADE SENSE
BUILDING ME A FENCE
BUILDING ME A HOME
THINKING I┬┤D BE STRONG THERE
BUT I WAS A FOOL
PLAYING BY THE RULES
THE GODS MAY THROW A DICE
THEIR MINDS AS COLD AS ICE
AND SOMEONE WAY DOWN HERE
LOSES SOMEONE DEAR
THE WINNER TAKES IT ALL
THE LOSER HAS TO FALL
IT┬┤S SIMPLE AND IT┬┤S PLAIN
WHY SHOULD I COMPLAIN
BUT TELL ME DOES SHE KISS
LIKE I USED TO KISS YOU
DOES IT FEEL THE SAME
WHEN SHE CALLS YOUR NAME
SOMEWHERE DEEP INSIDE
YOU MUST KNOW I MISS YOU
BUT WHAT CAN I SAY
RULES MUST BE OBEYED
THE JUDGES WILL DECIDE
THE LIKES OF ME ABIDE
SPECTATORS OF THE SHOW
ALWAYS STAYING LOW
THE GAME IS ON AGAIN
A LOVER OR A FRIEND
A BIG THING OR A SMALL
THE WINNER TAKES IT ALL
I DON┬┤T WANNA TALK
IF IT MAKES YOU FEEL SAD
AND I UNDERSTAND
YOU┬┤VE COME TO SHAKE MY HAND
I APOLOGISE
IF IT MAKES YOU FEEL BAD
SEEING ME SO TENSE
NO SELF-CONFIDENCE
THE WINNER TAKES IT ALL

And thought struggles against the results, trying to avoid those unpleasant results while keeping on with that way of thinking. That is what I call 'sustained incoherence.

The Winner Stands Alone
Though you have the power, you are the loser
Though you definitely control the game, you don’t win the sympathy
Though you are the winner, you don’t get people’s heart
Though you maybe the rightful one, everybody turn their heads against you
And the victory seems like a lonely cage to you

Edge Of A Broken Heart
And there I stood, just like a soldier
I was tough, until I saw her
I said hello, but she just turned away
Hey romeo, whatcha doin with my girl,
Who are you using now, well I turn and walk away (turn and walk away)
Im gonna please her, now you can believe it
Ill be there to catch her when she falls
Oooo, here I am (on the edge of a broken heart)
Im a man (on the edge of a broken heart)
Here we stand (on the edge of a broken heart)
So run if you can cause you know
Im a man on the edge (on the edge of a broken heart)
Im on the edge (on the edge of a broken heart)
Im on the outside, looking inside
Youre with him, whos on the wrong side now
Do you still think of me
Ive tried to call, but no one answers
Two silhouettes, a private dancer
Lights go dim, as the music starts to fade, away (turn and walk away)
Im the one who needs you, now you can believe it
Ill be there to catch you when you fall
Ooo you better believe Im the man (on the edge of a broken heart)
Here I am (on the edge of a broken heart)
And we stand (on the edge of a broken heart)
So run if you can cause you know
Im a man on the edge (on the edge of a broken heart)
Im on the edge (on the edge of a broken heart)
Solo
Ooohh
And when I hold out my hands Ill be reaching for you
I give it all that Ive got, thats all I can do
When youre waiting for love
Ill be waiting for you (on the edge of a broken heart)
Only for you (on the edge of a broken heart)
Oh baby for you (on the edge of a broken heart)
So run if you can, you know
Im a man on the edge (on the edge of a broken heart)
Im on the edge (on the edge of a broken heart)
Im on the edge (on the edge of a broken heart)
Im on the edge (of a broken, broken, broken broken, broken, broken, broken)

Winner On The Night
Dan mccafferty
Arranged by nazareth
Produced by manny charlton
Sometimes youre feeling sad and lonely
And things aint goin right for you
Youre looking for somebody
So tired of bein? all alone
Dont throw your life away, remember
When youre down and fighting from the corner
And you feel that theres no way out
Just believe in the power deep inside of you
Hold on and things will be alright
And in the end when its all over
Youll be the winner on the night
And in the end when its all over
Youre not the same you used to be
You know it wasnt easy
But with experience youll see
Youll make it out if you remember
When youre down and fighting from the corner
And you feel that theres no way out
Just believe in the power deep inside of you
Hold on and things will be alright
And in the end when its all over
Youll be the winner on the night
When youre down and fighting from the corner
And you feel that theres no way out
Just believe in the power deep inside of you
Hold on and things will be alright
And in the end when its all over
Youll be the winner on the night
When youre down and fighting from the corner
And you feel that theres no way out
Just believe in the power deep inside of you
Hold on and things will be alright
And in the end when its all over
Youll be the winner on the night
When youre down and fighting from the corner
And you feel that theres no way out
Just believe in the power deep inside............

0019 An intrusive thought in the bathroom at Christmas
We control freaks like to feel
we have our thoughts in some sort
of order; though yes, we like to have
spontaneous feelings, it shows
that we are human (not just
control freaks, ha) - but we like to feel
we have those feelings, too, within
some sort of mental framework –
Saint Paul stricken, on the road to Tarsus,
with a blinding epiphany
is good to read about – it can happen
to others, great – but, as the song goes,
but not for me…
It happened, with a corny total appropriateness,
on Christmas morning (I almost feel
I have to apologise for that…) : I’d overslept;
hadn’t even put the radio on, to work myself
gently into Christmas cheer;
the bath was running; and then
I suddenly felt blest.
No. Knew myself blest.
You’d have to know
the nervous, melancholic, depressive me
to know the inconvenient inappropriateness
of that ‘state of grace’ as some would say;
my control freak brain couldn’t find a mental slot
where such thoughts belong; while registering
that many people would feel only
gratitude for that..
but that was it: it had happened;
now I had it in my memory
for the rest of my life; I had to deal with it; and worse,
I knew that what I recognised
so inconveniently, as the bath filled up,
was something that had a future and a past,
and if true in this brief moment
then had been, would be, true for ever…
* * *
There’s a beautiful tradition
that while those who give
are blest, that those who receive their gift
are not blest until (rather like
‘pass the parcel’ which we play
sometimes on Christmas Day)
they pass the gift along
to someone else..
But this control freak thinks,
try to tell someone else
and you can finish up
not believing it yourself..
I guess I’ll have to try
writing a poem about it sometime
but without
trying to find some sorta
mental framework for it
etc.

Out of the hospital out against my will
Life is so beautiful Ive gone mental
Mental mental
Ive killed my family they thought I was an oddity
Life is so beautiful I am a vegetable

Staring at my goldfish bowl popping phenobarbitol
Life is so beautiful Ive gone mental mental mental
Sitting on my window sill life is so beautiful

You never give up
When the others they do
You never fail
You never feel blue
Everyone loves you
Baby, I tell you the truth
Life is the hardest game
But babe, not for you
Youll make it, youll take it
Youll never look back
Walk through a tire
Youll never lose track
Everybody loves you
Oh its your time
Everybody needs you
Baby, be mine
*youre born to be a winner
(youre like a hero)
Youre born to be a winner

Born to be a winner, my love
Oh theres no mountain high enough
Dont hesitate
(born to win)
Born to be a winner

(youre) born to be a winner
Youll never give up
Or youll break my heart
Baby, baby. we can make a new start
Youll take every chance
Youre so young and so strong
Youll give what they want
Youll never go wrong
Heaven must have sent you
Baby, you make me feel good
Id spend the rest of my life with you
If only I could
You light up my life
Wrap my troubles in dreams
Take my desires
You know what that means
Everybody loves you
Theres no other way
Everybody needs you
I beg you to stay

Frustration (Life Poem)
Head throbs, I want results, I need results, today,
No dice, I want a gun, persuasion, for results, now,
Idiots all around, is it me or is it them, I wonder,
I see them dead, better than Red I think, but,
Why so hard I ask, always the same, pain again,
A voice inside says, that is why, I still get paid
Big bucks, to take this strain, and not complain,
I need a cat, to kick, humane, because it seems,
It will survive with nine lives, and I have only one.

At The Edge Of The Edge Of The Edge
AT THE EDGE OF THE EDGE OF THE EDGE
At the edge of the edge of the edge
There is another invisible edge
And this too has an edge and another edge
Edges unending
Beyond our comprehension
Waiting for us to fall down and down-
On the edge of the edge of the edge
I write on
Has the great descent already begun
And am I in the midst of it
As I pretend to go on?

First Past The Post
We should have a law that requires all Canadians to vote,
So looser politicians cannot feel so pompous and remote,
Because what the system of first-past-the-post denotes,
That the winner can win with a small proportion of the votes.
It’s all very nice if there are only two politicians running,
But if there are three or more the results could be stunning,
Because the combined votes of the loosers can be much more,
But the winner takes all and the constituents should deplore.
Therefore the majority of people are not represented,
And they are not allowed to show that they are discontented,
And the system can’t be changed because this is how it’s arranged,
Many many looser politicians who want nothing to change.

Seasons
One heart can make a difference
One choice can change it all
One voice can travel the distance
And be heard all around the world
Would you make a sacrifice
If you knew that it was right?
Well the answers there if you look inside
Will you run and hide or will you fight the fight?
Cause there's a power inside you
And there's a battle to be won
And every victory has a beginning
The way it always has begun
With the power of one
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
One day, you'll realize it
That one hope is all you need
One dream that we can all share
One dream we all believe
And we will make that sacrifice
Just becasue we know it's right
And we will face the answer that's there inside
We won't run and hide
We're gonna fight the fight
There's a power inside you (inside you)
There's a battle to be won (be won, be won)
Every victory has a beginning
The way it always has begun
With the power of one
With the power of one
Yeah
We'll look inside
We won't run and hide
No, we'll fight the fight
There's a power inside you (can you feel the power,
can you feel it, feel it)
There's a battle to be one (battle to be won)
Every victory has a beginning
The way it always has begun
With the power of one

Are destiny
I know why
You are made for me

Confidence | Words of Wisdom
Don’t mistake power for confidence
You’ll never never like how it ends
Take your stance and understand
Confidence is the greatest tool
Confidence is power that’s my first rule
Now weapons aren’t that sharp even from the start
But confidence is evident etched with in your brain
Confidence is sharper than any razor blade
Individuality is a packaged deal
You’ve got to trust yourself and know yourself for real
Now trying to control ain’t gonna work
Power is a tool that’s broke
Too much effort, too much mess,
Leaving a trail of broken heart and broken glass
So there’s my proof I say it with confidence
