The Hymn of the Socialists

By the bodies and minds and souls that rot in a common stye
In the city’s offal-holes, where the dregs of its horrors lie —
By the prayers that bubble out, but never ascend to God,
We swear the tyrants of earth to rout, with tongue and with pen and sword!
By the child that sees the light, where the pestilent air stagnates,
By the woman, worn and white, who under the street-lamp waits,
By the horror of vice that thrives in the dens of the wretched poor,
We swear to strike when the time arrives, for all that is good and pure!

By the rights that were always ours — the rights that we ne’er enjoyed,
And the gloomy cloud that lowers on the brow of the unemployed;
By the struggling mothers and wives — by girls in the streets of sin —
We swear to strike when the time arrives, for our kind and our kith and kin!

By our burning hate for men who rob us of ours by might,
And drive to the slum and den, the poor from the sun and light,
By the hell-born greed that drives our sons o’er the world to roam,
We swear to strike when the time arrives, and strike for our friends and home.

By the little of manhood left in a world of want and sin,
By the rift in the dark cloud’s brow where the light still struggles in,
By the love that scarce survives in a stream that is sluggish and thin,
We swear to work till the time arrives for ourselves and our kind and kin.

The little of love may dry in its stream that scarcely flows,
The little of manhood die and the rift in the dark clouds close,
And hope may vanish from earth and all that is pure and bright,
But we swear to strike eer that time has birth with the whole of our gathered might!

I Swear

I have never seen an angel standing oh so close to me
I have never touched someone and felt so electricity
I am taken over by the endless possibilities
And I'm waiting for the day you say that you belong to me
I swear
No one will ever love you better
I swear
We could be so good together

[Chorus:]
I never wanted anyone the way I want you (baby)
I never met someone who gives me everything you do
I swear
If I'm with you there's no other
I swear
There will never be another

Cause of you there are more reasond to be thatnkful everday
Cause of you I'm reminded of the chances I should take
It't the comfort of your warm embrace that shelters all the rain
And there's nothing I wouldn't give for you to feel the same
I swear
No one will ever love you better
I swear
We could be so good together

[Repeat Chorus]

I Could Really Love You

(eric carmen/dean pitchford)
I never quite know what to do
When Im with you
(when Im with you)
Im never really sure if Im doin things right
I never know the words to say
The games to play,
But thats okay
I bet that I could get you through the night
Oh, I could really love you
I swear (I swear)
Its true (its true)
There isnt much Im certain of
But this much I can do
Oh, I could really love you
I know theres lots of other men
Who talk of love
(theyll talk of love)
Theyll sweep you off your feet with the way they live
After all those champagne highs
And quick goodbyes
Youll realize theres something more
That only I could give
Oh, I could really love you
I swear (I swear)
Its true (its true)
There isnt much Im certain of
But this much I can do
Oh, I could really love you
And even though youre waiting for your perfect love
You dont have to wait around no more
I could really love you
I swear (I swear)
Its true (its true)
There isnt much Im certain of
But this much I can do
Oh, I could really love you
I could really love you
I swear (I swear)
Its true (its true)
There isnt much Im certain of
But this much I can do
Oh, I could really love you
I could really love you
I swear (I swear)
Its true (its true)
There isnt much Im certain of
But this much I can do
Oh, I could really love you

Underneath The Streetlight

Yes I do--i love you!
I swear on the stars above I do!
I swear on the streetlight on the corner
Shoving back the shadows!
One shadow cursing
Another shadow laughing
Underneath the streetlight
I dont know where theyre coming from
I just see em passing
Underneath the streetlight . . .
Yes I do--i love you!
I swear on the buildings above I do!
I swear on a billion yellow and t.v. blue windows!
Gayboys with their pants so tight
Out in the neon light
Underneath the street light
A m- m- madman-madman
Kicking over garbage cans
Underneath the streetlight . . .
Yes I do--i love you!
I swear on the blinkin planes above I do!
I swear on the truck at the stoplight
With his airbrakes moaning!
All night the trucks roll
Up to the tunnel-toll
Underneath the streetlight
They come rollin, rollin
Rollin for a living
Underneath the streetlight . . .
Yes I do--i love you!
I swear on the disco sparkle dark I do!
I swear on the be-bop boys
Chasing the black bird
Rock n roll broadcast
Movin up now full blast
Underneath the streetlight
They come dancin, dancin
Really rock n rollin
Underneath the streetlight
Yes I do--i love you
I really love you
Yes I do--yes I do
I love you!

I Swear

(Frank J. Myers/Gary Baker)
I see the questions in your eyes
I know what's weighing on your mind
You can be sure I know my heart
And I'll stand beside you through the years
You'll only cry those happy tears
And though I will make mistakes
I'll never break your heart
And I swear, by the moon and the stars in the sky
I'll be there (I'll be there)
I swear, like a shadow that's by your side
I'll be there (I'll be there)
For better or worse, till death do us part
I'll love you with every beat of my hear and I swear
I'll give you every thing I can
I'll build your dreams with these two hands
We'll hang some memories on the walls
And when there's silver in your hair
You won't have to ask if I still care
'Cause as the time turns the page
My love won't age at all
And I swear, by the moon and the stars in the sky
I'll be there (I'll be there)
I swear, like a shadow that's by your side
I'll be there (I'll be there)
For better or worse, till death do us part
I'll love you with every beat of my hear and I swear
For better or worse, till death do us part
I'll love you with every beat of my hear and I swear
I swear...
I swear...

Nero

Nero
He can be anywhere on earth
And still be there for you
Nero
He can do anything in life
While you're feeling lost and lonely
But I swear - he will care
Nero
Only when dreams have died
It's time to say goodbye
Oooh Nero
You can stand any pain
With a smile on your face - I swear
Nero
Just smile
So destiny won't keep you crying
Nero
Let your heartlight find a way
Let everybody know what you say
Nero
He can bear anything
Except your tears - I swear
Ooh Nero
He can fight anyone
But he's caught in your love - I swear
Nero ...
Nero
He can be anywhere
And still be there for you
Nero
I see you standing there
With a smile on your face - I swear

The Next time I See You I'm Going to Kiss You

The next time I see you
I swear,
I’m going to kiss you,
The next time that we're alone
I swear,
I’m going to kiss you,
Forget everything
I swear,
And I’m just going to kiss you

Without a reason,
Without a cause,
And probably without the right,
But I swear,
The next time I see you,
I’m going to kiss you
Whether or not It’s right
……………………
I really hope
That you don’t mind

Excuse Me.....

I swear, I won't write,
I swear, I won't fight,
I swear, I will fly,
I swear, I will rather die,
But, won't write poem again!

All what I said,
All which I met,
All things I hate,
All griefs I get,
Can't stop my poetic pen.

I return every time,
With my fairy tale-rhyme,
With my heart-felt story,
For poem's everlasting glory.
For my love, agony and pain.

Excuse me, my lord,
As I play the same chord,
With the music of humanity,
Leaving my ego and false vanity!
Nothing worldly to gain!

MOTOR
Still can't believe it, can't stand to leave it
But I know the rules
We were doomed babe, too much too soon babe
Acting like fools
Tried to fly and climbed too high
We saw it all, we had to fall
But I swear it's true, was all for you
I swear it's true, was all for you
Making love all the time,
Never let the day go by, or a night
Sweet music in the dark
You always found the spark to light my light

Think Of The Soul

THINK of the Soul;
I swear to you that body of yours gives proportions to your Soul
somehow to live in other spheres;
I do not know how, but I know it is so.

Think of loving and being loved;
I swear to you, whoever you are, you can interfuse yourself with such
things that everybody that sees you shall look longingly upon
you.

Think of the past;
I warn you that in a little while others will find their past in you
and your times.

The race is never separated--nor man nor woman escapes;
All is inextricable--things, spirits, Nature, nations, you too--from
precedents you come.

Recall the ever-welcome defiers, (The mothers precede them;) 10
Recall the sages, poets, saviors, inventors, lawgivers, of the earth;
Recall Christ, brother of rejected persons--brother of slaves,
felons, idiots, and of insane and diseas'd persons.

Think of the time when you were not yet born;
Think of times you stood at the side of the dying;
Think of the time when your own body will be dying.

Think of spiritual results,
Sure as the earth swims through the heavens, does every one of its
objects pass into spiritual results.

Think of manhood, and you to be a man;
Do you count manhood, and the sweet of manhood, nothing?

Think of womanhood, and you to be a woman; 20
The creation is womanhood;
Have I not said that womanhood involves all?
Have I not told how the universe has nothing better than the best
womanhood?

Keep Away

You keep your jealousy and your snide remarks to yourself
You know that Im not seeing anyone else
You just keep your ear down to the ground
Yell your head off if you hear a sound
Heres a whistle, a badge and a phone
You can arrest me if Im not at home
And if I dont keep my word I swear
Ill keep away
Heres some books and a puzzle by escher
Heres shakespeares measure for measure
Heres a balloon, a rubber band and a bag
Why dont you blow them up if you think youve been had
Heres a castle, a paper dragon and a moat
An earring, a toothbrush and a cloak
And if I dont keep my word I swear
Ill keep away
I swear Ill keep away, from all weve ever done
Ill keep away the good times, Ill keep away the fun
I swear Ill join the army, or maybe the marines
Ill start to wear designer suits and put away my jeans
I swear that Ill keep away, from all my old-time friends
Ill throw away my records, Ill try to make amends
I swear Ill give up gambling, and playing with the rent
Ill give up food and drinking, Ill give up a life ill-spent
Heres a yardstick you can measure me by
Heres a coupon, maybe theres something you want to buy
Heres a bandied in case you cut your feet
Heres a rubber mallet you can use on your front teeth
Heres a gun no one uses anymore
And a bracelet made of some expensive ore
And if I dont keep my word
You wont see me anymore
I swear Ill keep away, from dignity and pride
Ill keep away from abstracts, Ill keep it all inside
Well, Ill just wrap me up in butter, and melt me on a shelf
Ill fry in my own juices, Ill become somebody else
Well, Ill just swear to keep away, from everything thats good
Ill lie down in the gutter, where I really should
I swear Ill light a candle, to every modern foe
I swear Ill close the book on this, and not see you anymore
cause I just got to get away

Drowned

Turn me into, another corner.
See Im sideways, Im unopened.
I let it before I lose myself, Im empty and inspired alone
And I swear, I can say to you. and I swear, I can say to you.
So I write it down, and slip away from faith.
Frustrated and anxious to grow.
Addressed in clothes that never fit my mind,
Letters said but never closed last time,
And I can say to you. and I swear, I can say to you.
You tell me...
Oh, when did we start to drown,
You see Ill hold you there.
Oh, when did we start to drown,
Cant you see its time we made it home.
Oh, when did we start to drown? (drown...)
When did we start to
When did we start to drown...
So I see you turn it into your lines my way.
You see Im angry, and Ill set you straight.
Let it before I loes control,
You find out, and Ill fight it alone.
And I swear, I can say to you. and I swear, I can say to you.
Yes, I swear, I can say to you.
Somebody tell me,
Oh, when did we start to drown,
You think Ill hold you there.
Oh, when did we start to drown,
Can you see its time we made it home.
Oh, when did we start to drown?
Always on my mind, time for you temper.
Always on my mind, sent to my mind I know.
Always on my mind, Ill hold your thoughts I swear, always...
So you turn me, so you turn it...
Turn me into another corner,
And you put me in this, this other corner.
Turn it into another corner,
Youll tell me...
When did we start to drown,
You see Ill hold you there.
Oh, when did we start to drown?
Cant you see its time we made it home
Oh, when did we start to,
Drown? ? ? ...

One Of These Nights

One of these nights
One of these crazy old nights
Were gonna find out
Pretty mama
What turns on your lights
The full moon is calling
The fever is high
And the wicked wind whispers
And moans
You got your demons
You got desires
Well, I got a few of my own
Oo, someone to be kind to in
Between the dark and the light
Oo, coming right behind you
Swear Im gonna find you
One of these nights
One of these dreams
One of these lost and lonely dreams
Were gonna find one
One that really screams
Ive been searching for the daughter
Of the devil himself
Ive been searching for an angel in white
Ive been waiting for a woman whos a little
Of both
And I can feel her but shes nowhere
In sight
Oo, loneliness will blind you
In between the wrong and the right
Oo, coming right behind you
Swear Im gonna find you
One of these nights
One of these nights
In between the dark and the light
Coming right behind you
Swear Im gonna find you
Get ya baby one of these nights
One of these nights
One of these nights
I can feel it
I can feel it
One of these nights
Coming right behind you
Swear Im gonna find you now
One of these nights..etc....

In All The Right Places

(j. barry/l. stansfield/i. devaney/a. morris)
If you take me straight to heaven
I could never fall
cos loving you is what Im made for
Id gladly give my all and all
It doesnt matter where I am
As long as Im with you
You can take me high above
Whatever Ive been dreaming of
Chorus:
In all the right places, its feeling so good
In all the right places. just like it should
And I swear, I love you
And I swear, I love you
If were dancing all alone
Or in a crowded room
When you wrap your arms around me
You can always send me to the moon
When we kiss our sugar kisses
And the music starts to play
Weve got love, weve got each other
And were going all the way
Chorus
Find times never wasted, when its ours to kill
I know in all the right places, youre touching me still
And I swear, I love you
And I swear, I love you
And I swear, I love you
And I swear, I love you
I love you

The Best Of Me

Every time you cross my mind
I catch my breath and sigh
And every memory that we shared
Still lives deep inside
Just like a ship without an ocean
Like a sun without a sky
You were the best of me
I swear you were the best of me
And since you have gone theres nothing left in me
My love you were the best of me
When I close my eyes I see you there
Every night you come to me
Your touch so soft and sweet
We leave this world so far behind
But only in my dreams
Somebody stole the stars from my sky
Oh wont you please return to me
You were the best of me
I swear you were the best of me
And since you have gone theres nothing left in me
My love you were the best of me
When I close my eyes I see you there
As I see you there
Will I see you again?
Will I see you again?
Somebody stole the stars from my sky
Oh wont you please return to me
You were the best of me
I swear you were the best of me
And since you have gone theres nothing left in me
My love you were the best of me
When I close my eyes I see you there
See you there
I see you there

When You Need Someone

How does it feel to be on you own
while the night slips away
you toss and turn like a ship in the storm
have you lost your way
I can see by the look in your eyes
you've been hurt before
hold me close like the very first time
cause that's what love is for
Theres no reason to cry cause ill be there beside you when you need someone
I'd never leave you
I swear that you will be the only one
through the sorrow and pain just call out my name when you need someone
I'd sleep forever i swear that you would never be the only one when you need someone
Sometimes the world can be so cold and you dont know why
you're reaching out but theres no one to hold in times rushing by
I can see by the look in your eyes you just can't let go
hold me close and together we'll find just what love is for
Theres no reason to cry cause ill be there beside you when you need someone
I'd never leave you
I swear that you would be the only one
through the sorrow and pain just call out my name when you need someone
I'd sleep forever I swear that you would never be the lonely one when you need someone
When you need someone its a long long day when you need someone
it's a crawl and change
when you need someone you can call out my name
Theres no reason to cry cause I'll be there beside you when you need someone
I'd never leave you
I swear that you would be the only one
through the sorrow and pain just call out my name when you need someone
I'd sleep forever I swear that you would never be the lonely one when you need someone....

Swear Your Love

by Kenny Loggins
I got a letter from my love
It said,"Eaxactly what I'm thinkin' of
No words can say"
Well darlin' I'll find a way
You see your diamond ring
I'm here to say it doesn't mean a thing
Without your love,
'N if that's all we really got
Then take it off
Tear it off
Swear your love
Say you don't need no diamond baby
If some piece of paper's keepin'
Us together I ain't buyin' it baby
Swear your love
All you really got after it's said and done
Is what we tell each other
When there's one on one
Darlin' won't ya swear your love?
I know a lady in Spokane
She thought that happiness would find her when
She caught a man
Security second hand
She got her diamond ring
It's sad to say
That was the only thing
I guess she forgot
You gotta believe enough
To swear your love
Swear your love
Say you're with me forever baby
No legal paper,
Pressure from your friends'll ever keep us together
Swear your love
That's the only way to hold on babe
Promise me you'll be my only lady
Darlin' won't ya swear your love?
This ain't no ticket out
Is that what you think
Our love is about?
Think twice before you call
Girl, get it straight
Or don't get it at all
(SOLO)
Swear your love
Say you're with me forever baby
No piece of paper's keepin'
Us together I ain't buyin' it baby
Swear your love
Say you don't need no diamond baby
No legal paper,
Pressure from your friends'll ever keep us together
Swear your love ( 8 times )

The Good Witch Of The North

You pull me down
To the floor
Of our apartment
A little while later
We are laughing at our
carpet burns
I like the way that it
glows outside
As the room gets darker
How I wish we could stay
like this
While the rest of the
world turns
There has never been a time
When I didn't want to be
your boyfriend
There has never been a time
When I didn't want to know
your name
Free falling from a work
in progress
Free falling from a life on hold
There has never been a time
When I didn't wanna hug you
Yes, my good lover
Is my one good thing
these days
You help me keep it all
From slipping away
I swear I'm going to
Marry you
Someday (someday)
I am all alone
And it seems like
All I do is wait
We spend hours on the phone
But it's never the same
No, nothing good ever does
come easy
Nothing good ever comes
without a fight
I am all alone
And I wish I was home
With you tonight
Yes, my good lover
Is my one good thing
these days
You help me keep it all
From slipping away
I swear I'm going to
Marry you
Someday
Yeah, my girlfriend is like
Magic in the hand
When I lose my sparkle
She's the one
that understands
I know I'm going to marry you
someday
I swear I'm going to marry you
someday
I swear I'm going to marry you...
Someday

Somewhere in time I will swear youll be mine
And Ill love you
Love you true

Even though weve been through hell
In my heart I will love you forever baby
But we know it just cant be now
So baby farewell
This thing it bigger than both of us
And baby believe it because...

Somewhere in time I will swear youll be mine
And Ill love you, ooh ooh
Somewhere in time theres no reason no rhyme
But Ill love you, ooh ooh

But baby your feelings are showing
Somewhere in time I will swear youll be mine
Cos I love you
Love you true
Its right that they dont know
And its only right, only right that I should go
But if youll wait Ill wait too
Ill wait all my life
All my life and more for you
This thing is bigger than both of us
And baby believe it because...
Somewhere in time I will swear youll be mine
Cos I love you
Love you true
There will be better days
But for now lets just say good-bye
So hold on to me just one last time
Hold on to me and baby, baby
Youve got to believe

Baby theres no way of knowing
But baby your feelings are showing
Somewhere in time I will swear youll be mine
Cos I love you
Love you true
