It's a non-stop invention, this game of life, and as soon as you think you've got it, you lose it.

Whos Gonna Stop The Rain
Written by carl sturken - evan rogers
(oh, oh, oh)
There is no rose without a thorn
No rain without the storm
(oh, oh, oh)
There is no laughter without tears
No wisdom without years
(oh, oh, oh)
In a world gone crazy
Torn between the roads
That we must choose
Win or lose
If every soul should lose its way
If every face should lose its name
Tell me whos gonna stop the rain?
(oh, oh, oh)
(oh, oh, oh)
(oh, oh, oh)
Each day another boy and girl
Sets foot into this world
(oh, oh, oh)
One reaches out to touch the sky
One never learns to fly
(oh, oh, oh)
Where is it written in the stone
That any child should walk alone
Out on their own?
If no one tries to end this game
Or find a way to ease the pain
Tell me whos gonna stop the rain?
(oh, oh, oh)
Whos gonna stop
The rain?
I said whos gonna stop the rain?
Hey, hey, yeah
How many rivers must we cross before we learn
That the flood is rising high
And the bridges all have burned
Each time another dream is washed into the sea
Its another piece of you
Its another piece of
Me
Oh yeah
(oh, oh, oh)
Sure as the blood runs through your veins
Sure as the falling rain, oh yeah
(oh, oh, oh)
Well taste the tears of each defeat
The bitter and the sweet, yeah, oh yeah
(oh, oh, oh)
As the days grow colder
Wonder if well ever see the sun
When winter comes, yeah
If no one stands to take the weight
If no one answers to the blame
Tell me whos gonna stop the rain?
(oh, oh, oh)
(oh, oh, oh)
(oh, oh, oh)
Whos gonna stop the rain?
If every soul should lose its way
If every face should lose its name
If no one tries to end this game
Or find a way to ease the pain
Whos gonna stop the rain?
(oh, oh, oh)
If no one stands to take the weight
If no one answers to the blame
Tell me whos gonna stop?
Whos gonna stop
The rain?
(oh, oh, oh)
(oh, oh, oh)
Whos gonna stop the ?

Even Song
Red old eyes, now where you from
You catch me every day
Colours hide not even song
It's all been washed away
Sun stop going down
Come out again
Stop fading out
Awake again
Sun stop going down
Stop going down
Blues old face, you finally come around
And talking in your sleep
Buried secrets and fiery showdowns
Lost days inbetween
It's all the same
Let it go before it gets too late
Don't play our game
Sun stop going down
Come out again
Stop fading out
Awake again
Sun stop going down
Stop going down
Sun is going down
Come out again
Don't feel so proud
Get straight again
Sun stop going down
Stop going down
It's all the same
Let it go before it gets too late
Don't play our game
Sun stop going down
Come out again
Stop fading out
Awake again
Sun stop going down
Stop going down
Sun is going down
Come out again
Don't feel so proud
Get straight again
Sun stop going down
Stop going down
Sun stop going down
Come out again
Stop fading out
Awake again
Sun stop going down
Stop going down
Sun is going down
Come out again
Don't feel so proud
Get straight again
Sun stop going down
Stop going down

Stop This Game
Words and music by robin zander and rick nielsen
Well I cant stop the music
I could stop it before
Now I dont want to hear it
Dont wanna hear it no more
No more
I cant stop the music
I could stop it before
Now I dont wanna hear it
Dont wanna hear it no more
All I wanna do is stop this game
Its gonna really end
Stop this game
Its such a touchy, touchy thing
Hey, livin with you
Is all I wanted before
Ive changed, you didnt
Dont wanna see you no more
All I wanna do is stop this game
Its gonna really end
Oh, stop this game
Its such a touchy, touchy thing
Well we were walkin before we could crawl
And you were lovin just emotion just all
Its just emotion wasnt music at all
Now I cant stop the music
Now I dont wanna hear it no more
No more, no more, no more
Stop this game
Its gonna really end
Stop this game
Its such a touchy, touchy thing
I cant stop the music (stop this game)
I could stop it before (its gonna really end)
Now I dont wanna hear it (stop this game)
Dont wanna hear it no more (its such a touchy, touchy thing)

In other words, what is supposedly found is an invention whose inventor is unaware of his act of invention, who considers it as something that exists independently of him; the invention then becomes the basis of his world view and actions.

How Do You Stop?
By dan hartman and charlie midnight
Hard bodies
Soft emotions
So fast
So smart
The world is at your feet
But what about your heart?
Fame and fortune cant hold you tight
In the late late hours of the night
How do you stop
Before its too late?
You choose and you lose
If you hesitate
How do you stop
Before its too late?
You think love will wait
So you dont hold on
And then its gone
Youve had success-
Lots of fancy friends
Youve tasted the good life
You thought it would never end
One day youre too young
Then youre in your prime
Then youre looking back at the hands of time
How do you stop
Before its too late?
You choose and you lose
If you hesitate
How do you stop
Before its too late?
You think love will wait
So you dont hold on
And then its gone
How do you stop a runaway train?
How do you stop the driving rain?
How do you stop the ripening corn?
How do you stop a baby being born?
How do you stop
Before its too late?
You choose and you lose
If you hesitate
How do you stop
Before its too late?
How do you stop?
Youre lost if you hesitate ...
How do you stop
Love from slipping away?
How do you stop
Before its too late?

Look At Your Game Girl
There's a time for living
Time keeps on flying
Think you're loving baby
But all your doing is crying
[chorus]
Can you feel
Are those feelings real
Look at your game, girl
Look at your game, girl
What a mad delusion
Living in that confusion
Frustration and doubt
Can you ever live without the game
The sad, sad game
Mad game
Just to say loves' not enough
?? it can't be true
Oh, you can tell those lies but you're only fooling you
[chorus]
??? you feel
I ??? those feelings ain't real
Then you better stop trying
Or you're gonna play crying
Stop trying
That's the game
Sad sad game
Mad game
Sad game

This Is Emotion
This is
This is emotion calling
Inside
You dont know me
One game
A miracle of invention
You lose
These rules are mine
Dirty pictures
Youre in the movies
Move in
Move out
Im in slow motion
One love
One tear
One night
Of fear
One game
You lose
This is
Emotion
Look left
Theres nothing over there but vengeance
Look right
Theres nothing over there but greed
Look up
Theres nothing up there but rumours
Look down
Theres nothing down there but me
One love
I dont want to talk about it
One love
One pain
I dont want to talk about it
One pain
One more
Another night to remember
One more
Another name to forget
One more
Another young heart to play with
One more
Another young heart to break
Weve got to get out
We must get out of here
Weve got to get out
Weve got to get away
Im listening to stories
Of love and affection
That I dont believe
Im listening to liars
With pretty young faces
And eyes that deceive

Preacher Man
(Gary Rossington-Johnny Van Zant-Rickey Medlocke-Hughie Thomasson)
You know i'm dirty because it's in me
Life's not easy
And it's the heart that i won't change
I wouldn't be the same
You see me one day and then the next day
I don't wanna play
I'm not the same dog you have known
It's not written in stone
Well am i right or wrong
Lookin' out for number one
I never stay too long
I'm there and then i'm gone
I'm not the preacher man
Oh can you understand
It's a game of win or lose
I've got an evil eye
You know sometimes i might lie
Oh i'm not the preacher man
Yeah-Yeah-Yeah
Saint was a sinner
Ain't he a winner
And did you hear him say
I didn't lie just as well
It's all in the head
Oh ain't it funny
How little money
Cheap talkin' honey
Can turn a sunny day to gray
Well am i right or wrong
Lookin' out for number one
I never stay too long
I'm there and then i'm gone
I'm not the preacher man
Oh can you understand
It's a game of win or lose
I've got an evil eye
You know sometimes i might lie
Oh i'm not the preacher man
Aah aah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah
Aah aah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah
I'm not the preacher man
Oh can you understand
It's a game of win or lose
I got an evil eye
You know sometimes i might lie

Stop (Think Again)
From daybreak to sunset you are the heart of me
Saying what you dont really mean
Now I know where you go and all the plans you made
Playing for a love not a dream
All that I want is you now and somehow I let you down
Lost in my pain , that where I lie
You got to stop, think again, before you give it to him
Stop, baby, one of us got to lose
You gotta stop , think again, before you lost the heaven
Stop, baby one of us got to try
Oh, its a great big world that we live in
Pleasure and pain , thats where I lie
You got to stop, think again , before you give it to him
Stop, baby , one of us got to try
Midnight you leave me taking the part of me
That loves you like he loves you , only more
Birds cry ,my sky falls
Darkness becomes my life , he got you
I got nothing to be living for
Oh , its a great big world that we live in
Pleasure and pain , thats where I lie
You got to stop, think again before you give it to him
Stop , baby one of us , one of us , one of us
You got to stop , think again before you lose the heaven
Stop baby one of us got to try

Mhhhh
Don't you know that you seem
Just a little crazy
You had my trust and intimacy
But you threw it away just threw it away
And now it's all in the past
When I think of you
I just laugh
My friends must have thought
I was high to have given so much
To someone not worth my time
Funny how sometimes
You can really lose your mind
And do things you would never do
Oh
(Did I do that)
You rhapsodize
And get caught up in the hype
'Till your senses return to you
Love plays you for a fool
You were so insecure
And your crew was so immature
Conversations painfully weak
You were much better off
When you didn't speak
But boy to tell you the truth
It was my illusion of you
Being somehow destined for me
That had me in a daze
But we're not the same in truth
Funny how sometimes
You can really lose your mind
And do things you would never do
No
(Did I do that)
You rhapsodize
And get caught up in the hype
'Till your senses return to you
Love plays you for a fool
I really hope when you hear this song
That you know it was meant for you

Though your attention span's not that long
Try to do the best you can do

None To Boot...
we all search for clarity,
thoughts are like parked cars,
diagonal parking,
like game cards, thoughts
reshuffle,
we organize, arrange,
trying to get most of what
is given,
then we reason out
why we lose,
blame it on random
luck is nil,
then we stop, we tell ourselves
this is just a game,
reality is not yet here
outside the house,
the dog barks, we know
a stranger is coming.

Sick Little Game
Sick Little Game
Broken wings and a crooked smile
I think that you've been gone awhile
Betrayed and hurt alive but dead
A broken heart and tearful eyes
Not enough truth in the lie
Not enough love in your life
Blood and tears and your gone again
Your born to lose so youll die to win
Maybe if you could have chose
But i guess thats just the way that this story goes
No one ever wins in this sick little game
But go on and try and maybe youll find
The secret of the game
This sick little game

Well all these games you play
You're messin with my head
[You're messin with my head]
And I don't why I'll stay

When I speak from my heart
You laugh like it's a game
[Well this ain't no game]
Yeah, we make great friends
But it just isn't the same
Ohhhhh

This is not the way it should be
And I know you treat him like me

Pay for my tatoos or buy me diamond rings

All I know is that I'm happy to smile
[I wanna see you smile]
And it'd make my day if you'd just stay for a while

The Price
How long I have wanted
This dream to come true
And as it approaches
I can't believe I'm through
I've tried, oh I've tried
For a life, yes a life
I thought I knew
Oh it's the price we gotta pay
And all the games we gotta play
Makes me wonder if it's worth it
To carry on
Cause it's a game we gotta lose
Though it's a life we gotta choose
And the price is your whole life
Until it's gone
Time seems to have frozen
But the mind can't be fooled
As the days pass I discover
Destiny just can't be ruled
Hard times, oh hard times
For the price, yes the price
I thought I knew
Oh it's the price we gotta pay
And all the games we gotta play
Makes me wonder if it's worth it
To carry on
Cuase it's a game we gotta lose
Though it's a life we gotta choose
And the price is your whole life
Until it's gone
Until it's gone
Oh it's the price we gotta pay
And all the games we gotta play
Makes me wonder if it's worth it
To carry on
Cuase it's a game we gotta lose
Though it's a life we gotta choose
And the price is your whole life
Until it's done
Oh it's the price we gotta pay
And all the games we gotta play
Makes me wonder if it's worth it
To carry on
Cause it's a game we gotta lose
Though it's a life we gotta choose
And the price is your whole life

The Pacific Age
The pacific age
Is growing strong
Its arms embrace witth a killing grace
It shakes your hand as it takes your place
The modern age
Like a slow revenge
A wave that breaks over distant shores
It begs for mercy
And it take some more and more and more
The pacific age
Comes down like rain
Washing over us again and again
Its spreading west
Like a speeding train
As the wheels slow down and we lose the game
The pacific age
Tells no lies
A dream that calls like an open door
It keeps you hoping
And it takes some more and more and more
The pacific age
Comes down like rain
Washing over us again and again
Its spreading west
Like a speeding train
As the wheels slow down and we lose the game
The pacific age
Comes down like rain
Washing over us again and again
Its spreading west
Like a speeding train
As the wheels slow down and we lose the game
The pacific age
Has no regrets
It feeds on dreams
It wins its bets
A new dawn breaks from east to west
And the plans we made stop making sense
The pacific age
It calls your name
It bites you hand, you feel no pain
And racing home. you run in vane
As your heart slows down and you lose the game

In My Life
There are places Ill remember
All my life, though some have changed
Some forever, not for better
Some have gone and some remain
All these places had their moments
With lovers and friends, I still can recall
Some are dead and some are living
In my life, Ive loved them all
But of all these friends and lovers
There is no one compares with you
And these memories lose their meaning
When I think of love as something new
Though I know Ill never lose affection
For people and things that went before
I know Ill often stop and think about them
In my life, Ill love you more
Though I know Ill never lose affection
For people and things that went before
I know Ill often stop and think about them
In my life, Ill love you more
