It is the soothing thing about history that it does repeat itself.

Dont Stop For No-one
Dont stop for no-one
And then it goes on
(repeat 3 times)
One day my father said to me
its time for you to leave,
But dont wait for me, its pre-destiny
Dont wait around for someone to believe in
You know, history dont stop for no-one
Just like moses waiting on the mountain
You know, history dont stop for no-one
Dont hang around in the babylonian gardens
You know, history dont stop for no-one
(? ) tourist attraction
You know, history dont stop for no-one
Dont stop for no-one
And then it goes on
(repeat)
Sometimes I told I must confess
To a life of tenderness
But I just repeat what he said to me:
dont close your eyes because seeing is believing
You know, history dont stop for no-one
(? ) child, fighting for a meaning
You know, history dont stop for no-one
Dont dream too long, its time to awake now
You know, history dont stop for no-one
Like sleeping lucy waiting for a kiss now
You know, history dont stop for no-one
I think you know the way its gonna go now
You know, history dont stop for no-one
From aztech kings to new york queens
And then it goes on

Soothe Me
*Soothe Me, Baby
Soothe me
Soothe me with your eyes
Though I know
Your powerful loving is
Soothing to me
I used to hire a lot of girls
Hot and big and small
Since I meet this baby of mine
I don't want mother girls at all
***Soothe me, baby
Soothe me
Soothe me with your kindness
Though I know your powerful loving is
Soothing to me
Oh, how I used to ramble
Oh, how I used to roam
Since I found this pretty little baby
All I want to do
Is stay at home
At home
(*Repeat)
One more time, man
**Soothe me baby
Soothe me
Soothe me with your kindness
Though I know
Your mama don't like it
It's soothing to me
Oh, once I was a worried man
I was drinking night and day
Now, I've got this angel by my side
All my worries have drifted away
(**Repeat)
Soothe me, baby
Soothe me, baby
Soothe me, baby
(*** Repeat)

If history is going to repeat itself I should think we can expect the same thing again.

History is a living horse laughing at a wooden horse. History is a wind blowing where it listeth. History is no sure thing to bet on. History is a box of tricks with a lost key. History is a labyrinth of doors with sliding panels, a book of ciphers with the code in a cave of the Saragossa sea. History says, if it pleases, Excuse me, I beg your pardon, it will never happen again if I can help it.

Be With You
I used to hang out every night
Used to go from club to club
Looking for true love
But now I found that love in you
No longer have to sleep around
Cuz I have you, baby
[1] - girl, Im always thinking about you
And all the things you do for me
Makes me so happy
And girl, when ever you need me
My love is always here for you
Babe, I really wanna be with you
[2] - theres so much out there for me
But the only thing I want
Is to be with you
So many places I can be
But the only thing I want
Is to be with you
Baby, Ive traveled all around the world
Seen alot of girls but none
Can compare to you
No matter how far I may go
Ill always know that home is you
And thats where I wanna be
[repeat 1]
[repeat 2]
[3] - every hour of the day
My thoughts are always of you
You are always in my mind
Cant stand to be apart
Whenever were not together
It seems like forever
Daydreamin about you
I really wanna be with you
[repeat 2]
[repeat 2]
[repeat 3]

History
History is sad.
It makes me mad
that we have learned nothing.
History is the past.
It goes so fast
and still we have learned nothing.
Today's not history
and so it's a mystery
why we repeat the same old nothing?

How Long
climb on top of all you despise
it's a better view from the lies
two steps behind before I've begun
time stops to tell me all I could have done
and I'll say
how long till the word will be completed
how many times will history repeat it
how long will it take
how long
how long
I want to go
will you show me the way
I'd rather be wrong than be deceived
to thinking that I believe
that I can stand to be here on my own
there's too many questions that we won't ask
in hopes that this too will pass
but how far down do we have to go before we know it
how long till the word will be completed
how many times will history repeat it
how long will it take
how long
how long
I want to go
will you show me the way
how long
how long
how long will it take
how long
how long
how long
I want to go
will you show me the way
how long
how long
how long will it take
how long till the word will be completed
how many times will history repeat it
how long till the words fall to the pages
how many times till all we can say is save us

One Thing
Restless tonight
Cause I wasted the light
Between both these times
I drew a really thin line
Its nothing I planned
And not that I can
But you should be mine
Across that line
*Chorus*
If I traded it all
If I gave it all away for one thing
Just for one thing
If I sorted it out
If I knew all about this one thing
Wouldnt that be something
I promise I might
Not walk on by
Maybe next time
But not this time
*Bridge*
Even though I know
I dont want to know
Yeah I guess I know
I just hate how it sounds
Repeat Chorus Twice
Repeat Bridge Twice
Repeat Chorus until fade.

However...
It is those LEAP YEARS,
That really have the blacks jumping for joy!

History

History

Indiscipline
I do remember one thing.
It took hours and hours but..
By the time I was done with it,
I was so involved, I didnt know what to think.
I carried it around with me for days and days..
Playing little games
Like not looking at it for a whole day
And then.. looking at it.
To see if I still liked it.
I did.
I repeat myself when under stress.
I repeat myself when under stress.
I repeat myself when under stress.
I repeat myself when under stress.
I repeat..
The more I look at it,
The more I like it.
I do think its good.
The fact is..
No matter how closely I study it,
No matter how I take it apart,
No matter how I break it down,
It remains consistant.
I wish you were here to see it.
I like it.

Reasons Love
A little bit of you runnin through my bed
Little bit of everything
You know thats what you said
* try hard, try hard to reason, reasons love
Try hard, try hard to reason, reasons love
** and theres your indulgence
And parents try to get you out of these jams
You got that appetite they wont understand
The social life you lead leaves nothin to desire
Dont wanna see you bleed
But you came on like a liar -repeat
* repeat
** repeat
Wrecked myself to love you
All you want is more
One thing youre after
You just try and score
* repeat
** repeat

Who Will Love Me Now
(graham russell)
Who will love me now
Who will love me now
(repeat)
Well I tried to give up
Walking the streets when I was with you
Snug as a bug in a rug
Never been so alone thinking about you
Who will love me now
Who will love me now
(repeat)
Trying on my own
But living alone is one thing I can never do
I could end it all now
But Im not that crazy
Who will love me now, who will love me now
(repeat)
Oh I need all the love
That you once used to give me
Words are never enough
Now you cant be with me
I need all the love
But who will take my hand and show me how
Who will love me now
Being home by myself
Believing so much youd walk through the door
And tell me you think Im a fool
But you wont do that now
Youve done it so often
Who will love me now, who will love me now
(repeat)
Trying on my own
But living alone is one thing I can never do
I could end it all now
But Im now that crazy
Who will love me now, who will love me now
(repeat)
Oh I need all the love
That you once used to give me
Words are never enough
Now you cant be with me
I need all the love
But who will take my hand and show me how
Who will love me now

Written by brian gunn, mark gunn, josh schwartz and brian kieruff
I'm losing my hair
And my vision is shady
Last night i dreamt
Of an overweight lady.
But i need a young thing
To keep up with my pace
To hold me in her arms,
And take me straight to second base
I know my calculus
It says you + me = us
Yeah, oh, sing it chad, for me
I know my calculus
It says you + me = us
{oh yeah}
Calculus
Semi-rap:
Yeah..haha..c'mon..we're together
(we're together)
Girl algebra or trigonometry could never equal up
To what you do to me
So let's intergrate
Don't differentiate
If you were in my class,
There ain't no way i could pass
I hate english, gym, and not to mention
I can't even afford to pay my attention
No philosophy could ever come between us
But we'll always have our calculus
Chorus
I know my calculus
It says u + me = us
Said i know my calculus
It says u + me = us
We're together forever, c'mon
Calculus, calculus

I know a thing or two
And i kicked ass on the test about me and you

Let that glory leave me be
Im just tasting my life story
Just a page in history

Must be watching over me
Whoevers watching

Well Im not hurting like I used to
I got lucky cant you see
Love came searching
It could choose you
Loves the greatest victory

I always look to the sky
And held my head high
Had to be what I had to be
Till the day that I die
Yes I wonder why
Somebodys watching
Watching over me

You know Ive squandered
Everything thats dear to me
Still I stand here in total wonder
How its all come back to me

Do What U Do
I like that though
Thats whats up
Some people like the summer when its hot
Some people like the winter cold
Some people speak their minds when they wanna
And some other people aint so bold
Whatever it is that you do
You should do, you should do with your head held high
So when youre doing youre thing its cause you wanna
And they never can ask you why
1 - I say
Do what you do
Say what you say
Mean what you mean when you say
Cause its your life
Gotta make your own rules
And you gotta do it, do it your own way
Repeat 1
2 - oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Some like it easy when others they like it rough
But aint nobody gotta like it but you
Girl, boy, boy, girl, girl, girl, boy, boy
Whatever, you should do what you do
How can they tell you that you could or should?
Would or wouldnt
Well ask em can they walk in your shoes
Cause its your life and you do what you wanna
And remember baby its all about you
Repeat 1 (2x)
Repeat 2
3 - so if its on your mind
Then you should speak your piece
And say whatcha say
And if you want it done
Then you should get it done
And do it your way
Repeat 3
Repeat 1 (2x)
Repeat 2 (2x)
Repeat 1 till end

Defining History
DEFINING HISTORY *
History is neither for us nor against us;
It is a record of our accumulating past!
That past which we humans had once made,
And we can learn from our mistakes, it is often
said!
A wit had once put things together, saying; -
'History dose not repeat itself, only historians
repeat each other! ! '
'Civilization is a movement and not a condition,
a voyage, not a harbour, ' said Arnold Toynbee;
'It has the right and the capacity to choose its destiny! '
But many others did not seem to agree!
The early Mayans said that History repeats itself in
every 260 cyclic years,
History is not cyclic said Tonybee, to allay our fears!
The Greek Plato had felt that History was rather cynical;
While Oswald Spengler the German, had similar
views held!
Spengler said that all things that grow, must mature,
decay and decline;
The Western Civilization was no exception of any
kind!
But Carrol Quigley, a scientist by training, could not
accept any of the above views!
And in his 'The Evolution of Civilisation ', he pays
History its dues!
Quigley attempts to create an acceptable synthesis,
Which the critics praised with positive comments!
Quigley advocated that systems come into being
adapted to their environment;
Which changes and evolves with a gradual motion,
While he has laid down the seven stages of this
evolution! **
And he concludes by declaring with some flourish,
That those civilizations which cannot adapt to such
changes, -
Will one day perish!
- Raj Nandy

(* I tried to pay my tribute to three of our greatest Historians, -
being an old student of History. Spengler is unpopular in the
West.

Decay and Invasion.)
