I would prefer even to fail with honor than win by cheating.

E.L. Well, there are these rules that guys have, an understanding as to what exactly constitutes cheating. Take your situation for example it's not cheating. It's never cheating when you're in a different area code, not to mention a different state.

The Thoughts Of You

Laying in bed
Thinking about you again
It almost feel like cheating
Not the phyical cheating
But mentally cheating
On the one who
Lays beside me tonight
I can't seem to stop
Wishing it was you
Instead of him
I just wished you would
Hurry up and marry her already
Just so I know that
There's no hope that
I'll ever get my chance with you

No Honor Among Thieves

(nathan crow/david wills)
This worlds a jungle there aint no justice
Laws of nature rule this land
Better hide your horses, bury your whiskey
Hold your woman any way you can
Cause there aint no right or wrong, nothings carved in stone
It aint cheating if you dont get caught
Jokers laugh and losers grieve
Cause out here theres no honor among thieves
That woman youve been loving, she was another mans
You stole her heart while his nack was turned
On every corner theres an outlaw waiting
Who wants to teach you what you never learned
Cause there aint no right or wrong, nothings carved in stone
It aint cheating if you dont get caught
Jokers laugh and losers grieve
Cause out here theres no honor among thieves
This worlds a jungle there aint no justice
Laws of nature rule this land
So dont go crying when her love goes flying to
The thieving arms of another man
There aint no right or wrong, nothings carved in stone
It aint cheating if you dont get caught
Loves a deck of cards read them and weep
Cause out here theres no honor among thieves
Yeah
There aint no right or wrong
Nothings carved in stone

Possibilities

I prefer movies.
I prefer cats.
I prefer the oaks along the Warta.
I prefer Dickens to Dostoyevsky.
I prefer myself liking people
to myself loving mankind.
I prefer keeping a needle and thread on hand, just in case.
I prefer the color green.
I prefer not to maintain
that reason is to blame for everything.
I prefer exceptions.
I prefer to leave early.
I prefer talking to doctors about something else.
I prefer the old fine-lined illustrations.
I prefer the absurdity of writing poems
to the absurdity of not writing poems.
I prefer, where love's concerned, nonspecific anniversaries
that can be celebrated every day.
I prefer moralists
who promise me nothing.
I prefer cunning kindness to the over-trustful kind.
I prefer the earth in civvies.
I prefer conquered to conquering countries.
I prefer having some reservations.
I prefer the hell of chaos to the hell of order.
I prefer Grimms' fairy tales to the newspapers' front pages.
I prefer leaves without flowers to flowers without leaves.
I prefer dogs with uncropped tails.
I prefer light eyes, since mine are dark.
I prefer desk drawers.
I prefer many things that I haven't mentioned here
to many things I've also left unsaid.
I prefer zeroes on the loose
to those lined up behind a cipher.
I prefer the time of insects to the time of stars.
I prefer to knock on wood.
I prefer not to ask how much longer and when.
I prefer keeping in mind even the possibility
that existence has its own reason for being.

Maybe I Know

Maybe I know that shes been a-cheating
Maybe I know that shes been untrue
But what can I do
I hear them whispering as I walk by
Shes gonna break his heart and make him cry
I know its me theyre talking about
I bet they all think Ill never find out
But maybe I know that shes been a-cheating
Maybe I know that shes been untrue
But what can I do
Deep down inside she loves me
Though she may run around
I know someday shell love me
Someday shell settle down
But maybe I know that shes been a-cheating
Maybe I know that shes been untrue
But what can I do
Oh, maybe I know that shes been a-cheating
Maybe I know that shes been untrue
But what can I do

Choices

i prefer smooth peanut butter
to crunchy
mind you
crunchy is all right
but i prefer smooth.

i prefer strawberry jam
to raspberry
mind you
raspberry is tasty
but it's got all those seeds
and i prefer strawberry.

i prefer mustard
to mayonaisse
mind you mayonaisse has it's place
amongst condiments
but is likely to go bad
if left out to long
and poison everyone
so on the whole i prefer mustard.

i prefer cooked meat
to raw meat
for much the same reason
as i prefer mustard to mayonaisse
although it also has to do
with the fact that i don't
like my meat to bleat
or moo or make chicken noises (BAGOCK!)
when i eat
so i tend to avoid the raw
though mind you
the meat that i prefer
may at some time have been raw.

i prefer not to say
why i think so
but i do
and i suppose it's all
just a matter of taste
so if you'd prefer to think so
then crunchy is better
than smooth
even if it does interfere
with the texture of the
peanut butter
and jelly (strawberry) sandwich
which ought to be somewhat
devoid of substance
merely a sticky sweet something
to fill your stomach
put mayonaisse on it
if you like
i'd prefer not to think about it.

Its No Secret

Written: stock aitken waterman
X4: its no secret (echoed)
1:
When I first met you
How you changed my life that day
But when each tomorrow
You just seem to drift away
Then I discovered
That you were cheating
You were cheating on me
But I was the last to know
Ooh, ooh
Chorus:
Our love was a lie
And its no secret
Its no secret
How you hurt me inside
And its no secret
Because you told everybody
2:
Didnt I really love you
You know I gave you all my heart
When I put my arms around you
I never thought wed ever part
Ooh, ooh
Then I discovered
I guess you couldnt love me
Like you said you love me
Ohh, no
Why was I the last to know
Chorus:
Bridge:
All of my life
I was looking for someone
Just like you
You shattered my dreams
Tore me apart
What can I do
(you were cheating)
(you were cheating on me)
But I was the last to know
Chorus:
(repeat & fade)

No Memo From You Did I Receive

What would 'you' prefer?
That I pretend I am not a writer,
With an interest that is expressed.
Or would you prefer I stay within boundaries,
Your mind has restricted to your limitedness?

Or would you prefer,
I reflect more of what you suspect I should be?
And would your suspicions have their development,
Centered from your perceptions?
Either way,
No memo from you did I receive.

And I admit,
Guessing is not what I do best.
And the only tests I 'prefer' to pass,
Are my own.

Dont Let Me Cross Over

Im tempted my darlin to steal you away
Dont let me cross over, stay out of my way
cause you know that I love you and Im not the stealin kind
But Im faced with heartache here at loves cheating line
Chorus:
Dont let me cross over loves cheating line
You belong to another and can never be mine
I know one step closer would be heaven divine
Dont let me cross over loves cheating line
Ive tried to forget you but what else can I do
When your eyes keep saying that you want me too
And I know if I lose you not a dream will I have left
I dont want to cheat dear, but I cant help myself
Repeat chorus

Dont let me cross over loves cheating line

8. I Hate You

i hate you for telling lies
for breaking my heart
for breaking the trust
for stealing my piety
for robbing my sanity
for all that i was
making me a reflection of you
i hate the image of you
i hate you from head to heart
for blackmailing me
for cheating me
for cheating your wie
for cheating on other girls just like me
i hate you for lying
i hate you for abusing
above all i hate you for encashing
your dead mother, emotionally
purchasing the serenity, in the name of love

Its A Cheating Situation

Its a cheating situation
A stealing invitation
To take whats not really ours
To make it through the midnight hours
Its a cheating situation just a cheap imitation
Doing what we have to do
When theres no love at home
Theres no use in pretending
Therell be a happy ending
Where our loves concerned
Sweetheart, we both know
Well take love where we find it
Love and try to hide it
Its all we got
For we know theyre not
Gonna let us go
Its a cheating situation
A stealing invitation
To take whats not really ours
To make it through the midnight hours
Its a cheating situation
Just a cheap imitation
Doing what we have to do
When theres no love at home
Its a cheating situation
When theres no love at home

It's A Cheating Situation (feat. Dolores Keane)

It's a cheating situation
A stealing invitation
To take what's not really ours
To make it through the midnight hours
It's a cheating situation Just a cheap imitation
Doing what we have to do
When there's no love at home
There's no use in pretending
There'll be a happy ending
Where our love's concerned
Sweetheart, we both know
We'll take love where we find it
Love and try to hide it
It's all we got
For we know they're not
Gonna let us go
It's a cheating situation
A stealing invitation
To take what's not really ours
To make it through the midnight hours
It's a cheating situation
Just a cheap imitation
Doing what we have to do
When there's no love at home
It's a cheating situation
When there's no love at home

Skies The Limit

Written by christine mcvie
If Ive been acting just a little strange
And you have noticed it too
Its cos my life has been rearranged
With the presence of you
The sky is the limit now
We can hit it on the nail
And when we do
Ill think about you
How can we fail
Can you give me one reason why
Youd ever let me down
I wont believe it baby, but Ill try
The truths goin to come around
The sky is the limit now
We can hit it on the nail
And when we do
Ill think about you
How can we fail
The sky is the limit
Oh the sky is the limit
How can we fail
Sooner or later
Ill keep the promise
I made to you
Sooner or later
It will be greater
Then we ever knew
The sky is the limit now
We can hit it on the nail
And when we do
Ill think about you
The sky is the limit now
We can hit it on the nail
And when we do
Ill think about you
How can we fail
The sky is the limit
Oh the sky is the limit
How can we fail
Oh the sky is the limit
How can we fail
The sky is the limit
Oh the sky is the limit
How can we fail
The sky is the limit
Oh the sky is the limit
How can we fail
The sky is the limit
Oh the sky is the limit
How can we fail
The sky is the limit

Man’s knees are weak

She took interest in John
As a measure of revenge
On her man who was cheating on her.
John responded to her wish,
His wife not cheating on her.
Male is most susceptible.

The Bench and the Blonde in Black

His Honor walked into the shop
For of shopping his Honor was fond.
Did she blush? Did her eyes indicate shy surprise
In that slim little, trim little blonde?
Did his bachelor heart miss a beat?
Did she flash him a smile as she turned?
Did his Honor smile back at this vision in black?
Said his Honor, 'The case is adjourned.'

His Honor walked into his court.
Said the advocate, 'Shop-ladies lack
Much appeal, I submit, when these dark frocks they fit -'
Said his Honor, 'I like 'em in black.
Yes, I like 'em in black when they're blonde.
And I am not concerned with the cost.
It's a question of taste; and I've no time to waste.'
Said his Honor, 'Your action is lost.'

His Honor walked into the church.
'I will,' breathed his Honor, and beamed
On his blonde who, alack, was no longer in black,
For in ivory satin she gleamed.
Said the clergyman, 'Say after me -'
Said his Honor, 'My true wedded wife. . .
Er - at - sickness and health....and - er - all worldly wealth....'
Said his Honor, 'The sentence is life.'

His Honor walked up and walked down,
Sobbed the blonde, 'But you don't seem to care!
Why, my grey, pink and green are not fit to be seen;
And I haven't a rag fit to wear!
And you always did say I looked nice
In black suits? Twenty guineas? What fun!'
Then she smiled, kissed his neck, as he wrote out the cheque.
Sighed his Honor, 'Your suit, dear, is won.'

A mother and land

Mother in any form is dear and precious,
There is no single reasons but to offer various
Bowing head with respect with clear conscious,
World recognizes it and holds it right and continuous,

In our pain she cry
She never asks why?
What do we offer her later?
It is not a new matter

Whole world debate on this delicate issue
We fail to recognize and offer no due
She is there all the time to offer solace
Whether she is in small tent or palace

She may not complain about what went wrong
She is all alone like solid rock all along
Her woes may disappear and can’t last long
This is how she ignores plight and sings a song

Her beautiful voice may sound nice in the ear
The tile may pass and result into long years
She may remain same but definitely wear
She will contain onslaught and hold the tears

What all she can offer us for future?
She has no fixed agenda or tenure
She is still holding her ground well
There is no one for her stories to tell

We run to her and seek refuge,
For us she is supreme and huge,
Not a word we hear in her dishonor
She is by our side in the critical hour,

I would prefer to stay alone to serve the mother,
Even if heaven is offered, I won’t accede to or bother,
She kept us together like birds in nest
Why we go other place and see the best?

Mother land is no less sacred,
I would prefer to lay down life and allow tears not to shed
Hold the ground near to chest and don’t desert or fled
Let whole land turn into blood with color red

to serve mother land is altogether different
It has got wider concept and looks quite apparent
What do we offer in terms of loyalty?
It is the only reason that we consider as our duty


Motherland is to be defended at any cost
No heads will be counted as lost
It is dreadful even and be remembered most
It matters less in matter of defeat or victory post

Not an inch is to be given away or bartered
to her feet thousands of lives to be offered
Our sacrifice will not go in vain
Her dignity and honor remains concern as main

Never we questioned her role as to why or what for?
What I can offer in case of hostility war?
If honor and prestige are at stake,
I will not bother and avail my sweet cake,

Mother and mother land both remain in front
I shall prefer to lay life and bear the burnt
Nothing can be so holier than her grace and elegance,
I pray and worship for her continuous presence
