Winning to often is as disastrous as losing too often. Both get the same results, the falling off of the public's enthusiasm.

I am Wull and,
I have the results of the winning numbers;
So, pass by to have a look,
For your lover told me that you want the results.

The Chances Of Winning
life is like a game, you lost and you win
losing is winning where it fall and
winning is losing where it stand
all the day through, you gain, but nothing
has been done
what makes it defferent, when everything
is nothing and what makes it something
when everthing is nothing
life is just, but a game to play... make the
best for it, for you win for something, that
will make you something out of nothing
many years have gone, yet! it seems
that those are just a dream, a dream that
i stand for none and end with gone
i now live for something, that the only chances
I'll make, will leads me to do something
the best of the game, i have to stand for my
chances of winning is something out of nothing
winning is a matter of chances of nothing.....
just do it... right

And certainly the history of public sculpture has been disastrous but that doesn't mean it ought not to continue and the only way it even has a chance to continue is if the work gets out into the public.

There is no accountability in the public school system - except for coaches. You know what happens to a losing coach. You fire him. A losing teacher can go on losing for 30 years and then go to glory.

Banging On The Door
You know that it hurts
These things that you say
But Ill be alright
Dont lose your faith
Just swallow your pride tonight
God only knows this place is strange
Banging on the door again
Banging on the door thats locked forever
Losing on a lovers game
Winning on the one side and losing forever
The air that we breather hangs heavy tonight
Still I look for your face
Im home all alone again
Some dreams grow old and then they just die
Im banging on the door again
Still banging on the door thats locked forever
Losing on a lovers game
Winning on the one track and hurting forever
Oh your love is a symphony
All this love over all of me
Oh your love is a symphony
Oh sweet love I can feel it
Still banging on the door again
Im banging on the door thats sealed forever
Losing on a lovers game
Winning on the one track hurting forever

Humor results when society says you can't scratch certain things in public, but they itch in public.
Win
Losing is like rolling dice for a desired result,
Winning will require losing and something difficult.

Life's A Point of View
Life offers two poles - two roles.
One beginning, grinning, winning.
One refusing, abusing, losing.
Each looks through their scope
With hope that their vision is right.
A clear, focused lens views bright.
One closed results in failing sight.
Some are aware and don't care.
For most of the rest the test is too great.
But a rare few do know and dare.
To those must go unending praise,
For their days are each born anew.
Their genius? That right point of view!

Cryin My Heart Out For You
(michael masser/allee willis)
How do you live with a broken heart?
Everytime you come too close
I just run away
I need you so much
And thats so hard to say
There is me and there is you
And I get confused
And sooner or later
I know that Ill have to choose
You know its true
Im crying my heart out for you
What can I do
Im losing myself over you
Over and over again
Im crying my heart out for you
No-one in love likes to lose
How do you live with a broken heart
And I can honestly say
I wanna be on my own
That too bare existence
When I was all alone
I know youre not asking me
To just live for you
But its always how Ive loved
And all I know how to do
You know its true
Im crying my heart out for you
What can I do
Im losing myself over you
Over and over again
Im crying my heart out for you
No-one in love likes to lose
But how do you live with a broken heart?
Once again Im falling in love
Like a fool Im falling in love
And I dont know what Im doing
Once again its somebody else
That I need, Im losing myself
And Im scared of what Im feeling
Its true
Im crying my heart out for you
What can I do
Im losing myself over you
Over and over again
Im crying my heart out for you
No-one in love likes to lose
Once again Im falling in love
Like a fool Im falling in love
And I dont know what Im doing, doing
Once again its somebody else
That I need, Im losing myself
And Im scared of what Im feeling
About you
Im crying my heart out for you
What can I do
Im losing myself over you
Over and over again
Im crying my heart out for you
What can I do
Im losing myself over you
Over and over again

In conformity with these designs on the city of Washington, and notwithstanding the disastrous results of the invasion of 1862, it was determined by the Rebel government last summer to resume the offensive in that direction.

Fear of falling
Falling in the black,
Fear of falling,
Fear of falling alone;
Standing on the edge,
Peering down below to
The tiny abyss,
Running as far away as possible
From the reality
In a moment
Between hope and despair;
Plunging to the death,
Being unable to navigate the pain,
Soaring down
The iceberg of sadness,
Being completely at His mercy,
Like losing control
But never losing control;
Wanting to be completely free;
Searching the own face
In the mirror
In its fogged glass,
Remembering untouched promises,
Feeling His presence,
Feeling the emptiness
And His missing;
Falling blindly,
Falling alone;
Trying to find
Some reasons;
Clinging to the hope
That has been stained with
The fear
And praying
For finding love
Instead of loneliness,
Praying
For reaching happiness;
Falling in the black,
Fear of falling,
Fear of falling alone
While He alone is able
To keep everyone
Alive.

Fear
what am i most afraid of?
losing my health?
losing my job?
losing my family?
losing my virility?
losing my self-image?
losing my dignity?
losing my sanity?
losing my life?
or ending up alone
in the darkness
without reason or form
or direction.
what am i most afraid of?
and why?

To A Friend Who Thinks That I Always Win
my dear friend,
you always think that i win,
and you hide away from
me in the cloak of your
jealousy.
is this all about winning
and losing?
i am for you.
And all these are for you.
The red rose, the blue sky,
the flowing river
the cliffs, and mountain
the trails
are all for you.
i do not have any bag
where you say
you do not fit.
shall i have the desire
to put you there like a
sackful of potatoes?
you discover a secret trail
you smell the scent out there
you want to find me
you are searching for me
but my friend i belong to the wind
i am a dropp of rain to the sea
i am the grain of sand on the shore
i am but a speck of the dust on that
cloudy sky
how can you ever find me then?
listen my dear friend
this is not about winning or losing
this is about our journey
the destination of which is still open
like an entrance to a cave
without light, damp and dark.

Being Of The Losing End
(groszmann/jones)
I have got pins and needles, boy
From sleeping on your floor
Its been so long I cant remember
What it was I came here for
Oh lord, when youre winning
Aint it ever easy to pretend
But its hard, so hard
Being on the losing end
I saw your golden eagle
Flying high above my day
Casting never ending shadows
Putting darkness cross my day
Oh lord, cant you remember
You said youd always be my friend
And its hard, so hard
Being on the losing end
Gotta help me lord
Im on the dark side of dawn
Gotta find that road
I need your sweet love, lord
I need your sweet love
Oh lord, when youre winning
Aint it easy to pretend
But its hard, so hard
Yes its hard, so hard
Being on the losing end

Losing Touch
Here I am
Shooting for the sky
You say youve settled in
Yeah well I guess thats good for you
But Im still trying to tear myself free
Well I could take it or leave it
You know thats what Ive said to myself
But then I start to tremble
And Im lost to a powerless cause
Im losing touch
Sometimes my memories
They just seem to fade fast away
Ive been losing too much
Losing the feel for the dreams I once thought I had
Sometimes I feel like theyre all circling around
They keep calling to me and I keep falling down
Id rather be alone and lonely lying on the ground
Than in those grips again
Theyre so cruel
Taught me to fly
Then they stole my sky
Taught me to love
Then they broke me down
Till there was nothing left but emptiness
And dont you ever feel like theyre all circling around
They keep calling to me and I keep falling down
Id rather be alone and lonely lying on that ground
Than in those grips again
Well I could take it I could leave it you know hah
Thats what Ive said to myself
Ive been down there so many times you know
And it hurts like nothing else
Cause Im losing touch
Ive been slipping away
Ive been losing too much

Winning is not a sometime thing; it's an all time thing. You don't win once in a while, you don't do things right once in a while, you do them right all the time. Winning is habit. Unfortunately, so is losing.

Cant Stand Losing You
Ive called you so many times today
And I guess its all true what your girlfriends say
That you dont ever want to see me again
And your brothers going to kill me and hes six feet ten
I guess youd call it cowardice
But Im not prepared to go on like this
I cant, I cant, I cant stand losing
I cant, I cant, I cant stand losing
I cant, I cant, I cant
I cant stand losing you
I cant stand losing you
I cant stand losing you
I cant stand losing you
I see youve sent my letters back
And my lp records and theyre all scratched
I cant see the point in another day
When nobody listens to a word I say
You can call it lack of confidence
But to carry on living doesnt make no sense
I cant, I cant, I cant stand losing
I cant, I cant, I cant stand losing
I cant, I cant, I cant stand losing
I cant, I cant, I cant stand losing
I cant, I cant, I cant stand losing
I cant, I cant, I cant stand losing
I guess this is our last goodbye
And you dont care, so I wont cry
But youll be sorry when Im dead
And all this guilt will be on your head
I guess youd call it suicide
But Im too full to swallow my pride
I cant, I cant, I cant stand losing
I cant, I cant, I cant stand losing
I cant, I cant, I cant stand losing
I cant, I cant, I cant stand losing
I cant, I cant, I cant stand losing
I cant, I cant, I cant stand losing...

In my other life ~ ~ ~ Song Lyric's
In my other life, I marched troops in formations
I manned the gun and turned them into men
In my other life, I had so many wayward women
They broke me down and made me, what I am
They showed me roads that men seldom travel
They taught me things can work only if, you try
That losing could mean your really winning
They showed me sorrow, and taught me, how to cry
In my other life, I consumed minds recreations
I made peace with myself, these insecurities, could not stand
In my other life, I lived with incarcerations
They broke me down and made me, what I am
They showed me roads that men seldom travel
They taught me things can work only if, you try
That losing could mean your really winning
They showed me sorrow, and taught me, how to cry
In my other life, I worked hard to make a living
I gave up my recklessness, and vowed never, to give in
In my other life, I was married and had children
There broke me down and made me, what I am
They showed me roads that men seldom travel
They taught me things can work only if, you try
That losing could mean your really winning
They showed me sorrow, and taught me, how to cry
In my other life, I was drawn to the Truth and His resurrection
I confessed my sins, by faith believed and made Him, my Lord
In my other life, I learned to die to self and surrender
Conviction broke me down; the Blood made me, what I am
He showed me a narrow road men seldom travel
He gave me grace to change, in the Sweet, by and by
That losing could mean your really winning
He showed me His love, the price He paid, the reason why
He showed me His love, the price He paid, the reason why
