One Against the World

It's my opinion - though I own
In thinking so I'm quite alone -
In some respects I'm but a fright.
YOU like my features, I suppose?
I'M disappointed with my nose:
Some rave about it - perhaps they're right.
My figure just sets off a fit;
But when they say it's exquisite
(And they DO say so), that's too strong.
I hope I'm not what people call
Opinionated! After all,
I'm but a goose, and may be wrong!

When charms enthral
There's some excuse
For measures strong;
And after all
I'm but a goose,
And may be wrong!

My teeth are very neat, no doubt;
But after all they MAY fall out:
I think they will - some think they won't.
My hands are small, as you may see,
But not as small as they might be,
At least, I think so - others don't.
But there, a girl may preach and prate
From morning six to evening eight,
And never stop to dine,
When all the world, although misled,
Is quite agreed on any head -
And it is quite agreed on mine!

All said and done,
It's little I
Against a throng.
I'm only one,
And possibly
I may be wrong!

Move Along

Go ahead as you waste your days with thinking
When you fall everyone sins
Another day and you've had your fill of sinking
With the life held in your
Hands are shaking cold
These hands are meant to hold
Speak to me, when all you got to keep is strong
Move along, move along like I know you do
And even when your hope is gone
Move along, move along just to make it through
Move along
Move along
So a day when you've lost yourself completely
Could be a night when your life ends
Such a heart that will lead you to deceiving
All the pain held in your
Hands are shaking cold
Your hands are mine to hold
Speak to me, when all you got to keep is strong
Move along, move along like I know you do
And even when your hope is gone
Move along, move along just to make it through
Move along
(Go on, go on, go on, go on)
When everything is wrong we move along
(Go on, go on, go on, go on)
When everything is wrong, we move along
Along, along, along
When all you got to keep is strong
Move along, move along like I know you do
And even when your hope is gone
Move along, move along just to make it through
[x3]
(Move along)
(Go on, go on, go on, go on)
Right back what is wrong
We move along

What if?

What if everything doesn't go as we planned?
Will I be strong enough to let you go?
Will I be strong enough to even see you with another girl?
What if I fall apart & can't seem to stand again?
What if the palm reader was right?
But I still end up with you in the very end?
Though I still hope to God she was wrong,
Jeesh! Stop it my dear, stop this!
Why are you worrying about this?
Why are you thinking this?
I know he says he'll never leave me & only wants me,
But people change...right?
I freak'n hope NOT!
Okay, I need to stop this,
I'm only hurting myself,
And making him worry about me even more,
I need to live in the moment,
And cherish everything I have good,
Which is HIM! ♥

You Know Where You Went Wrong

(tennant/lowe)

Two men on the street
Drinking something cheap
No home, no family
Its cold, nowhere to sleep
Passers-by never catch their eye
Anywhere, one man drinks, the other swears
You know where you went wrong
You know where you went wrong
(aaaah) you know
You know where you went wrong
You know where you went wrong
(aaaah) you know
The old man cant understand
No one will shake his hand
I gave security, bombs and colour tv
It cost a few lives
Someones son always dies
No one shakes his hand
He dont understand
You know where you went wrong
You know where you went wrong
(aaaah) you know
You know where you went wrong
You know where you went wrong
(aaaah) you know
This is the history of the world
Of every boy and every girl
Who dont understand whats going on anymore
The history of the world
Of every boy and every girl
Who dont understand whats going on anymore
(whats going on? )
Two girls have a photograph
One looks, the other laughs
He could have been mine
Why did I change my mind?
Then hands on hips
The other girl says: admit! admit!
You know where you went wrong
You know where you went wrong
(aaaah) you know
You know where you went wrong
You know where you went wrong
(aaaah) you know
This is the history of the world (of the world)
Of every boy and every girl
Who dont (who dont) understand (understand)
Whats going on anymore (whats going on? )

Amigone

Everytime you point your finger
Three more point right back at you
I'm not sayin' that it's something wrong with life
'Cause that's a sad excuse

And age old game of rat and mouse
Chasin' us from house to house
I'm not sayin' that there's something wrong with you
It's wrong with me as well

Are you alive
Amigone (...Miracles gone wrong)
Is it to call and tell you to be strong
Are you alive
Amigone (...Miracles gone wrong)
Was the poison in our love there all along
Amigone

Heavenly intoxication
Love's been marred by medication
Ain't it funny how a life can take a turn
When the end is near

Are you alive
Amigone (...Miracles gone wrong)
Is it too late to call and tell you to be strong
Are you alive
Amigone (...Miracles gone wrong)
Is it too late to face the truth that it was wrong
Amigone

I'm not sayin' that it's something
I'm not gonna play along
I'm not wishin' for a miracle
That miracle's gone wrong
And you're too strong

Amigone (...Miracles gone wrong)
Is it too late to call and tell you to be strong
Are you alive
Amigone (...It's there all along)
Was the poison in our love there all along
Are you alive
Amigone (...Miracles gone wrong)
Is it too late to call and tell you to be strong
Are you alive
Amigone (...It's there all along)
Was the poison in our love there all along

Stifle Rave and Rant

Some people
(who can’t be identified)
Say some things

(that can’t be verified)
That passes for news that’s
(rarified, bullied and) terrified.

Some people say
Liberals are always wrong
Past, future and present.

Some people say
They pigeonhole wrong
people like pheasant.

Some people say
“Some people say
Liberals? - unpleasant.”

Some people say
“Some people say
Liberals? - mamby pamby.”

Wrong people say
Fair and balanced
Fox News can’t be.

Some people say
Some people and
Wrong people can’t

Sit somewhere and
Talk, and stifle
Rave and rant.

Some people grind
Opinion sausage at
A shiny plant.

An elephant shows
Greater respect for
A tiny ant.

Sit somewhere and
Talk, and stifle
Rave and rant.

So couch people
Can watch decent
Fair and gallant

People get cast
By some people
As wrong. Wrong-ized.

Richard Clarke, for one
Comes to mind. Wrong
For having apologized!

(Something Inside) So Strong

The higher you build your barrier
The taller I become
The farther you take my rights away
The faster I will run
You can deny me
You can decide to turn your face away
No matter 'cause theres,
Something inside so strong
I know that I can make it
Though youre doing me wrong so wrong
You thought that my pride was gone, oh no
Theres something inside so strong
Something inside so strong.
The more you refuse to hear my voice
The louder I will sing
You hide behind Walls of Jericho
Your lies will come tumbling
Deny my place and time
You squander wealth that's mine
My light will shine
So brightly it will blind you
Because theres,
Something inside so strong
I know that I can make it
Though youre doing me wrong so wrong
You thought that my pride was gone, oh no
Theres something inside so strong
Something inside so strong.
Brothers and sisters
When they insist were just not good enough
Well we know better
Just look 'em in the eye and say
Were gonna do it anyway.
were gonna do it anyway.
We're gonna do it anyway.
Something inside so strong
I know that I can make it
Though youre doing me wrong so wrong
You thought that my pride was gone, oh no
Theres something inside so strong.
Theres something inside so strong.
There's something inside so strong.
Something inside so strong
I know that I can make it
Though youre doing me wrong so wrong.

Be Somebody

(manchester / poncia / vastano
I can tell by lookin in your eyes
There is something on your mind
Restless so long
Its time to let you go
Theres a dream out there
I know you got to find
So, if you take the love that I will give to you
Then I wont feel like Im losin you
I want you to be somebody, be somebody, be somebody
I know you can be somebody
Be somebody strong
To me, youll always be somebody, be somebody, be somebody
Youll never do wrong
Never do wrong
Always be strong, strong, oh

People change
It happens all the time
Still, it hurts to say goodbye
So, if my tears are gettin in your way
Im imagining how your wings learn to fly
So, shine your light for all the world to see
Share the love you feel
But save the best for me
I want you to be somebody, be somebody, be somebody
I know you can be somebody
Be somebody strong
To me, youll always be somebody
Ooh, you can be somebody
Youll never do wrong
Always be strong
If you need me you can count on me

You can be somebody, ooh

Ooh, somebody strong
In my heart youll always be somebody, oh
You can be somebody

Oh, youll never do wrong
You can fly, you can fly, oh, fly

Would You Tell Me I'm Wrong?

would you tell me i'm wrong?
for having mixed emotions in my head,
don't know what to do,
mind says one way to fix the problem
heart says another to way to fix the problem,
which way do you go?
can't stand the pain,
or that i now have to deal with it,
would you tell me i'm wrong?
for not wanting to stay?
friends and family,
but, is that enough?
to remain strong, till i find a way through?
would you tell me i'm wrong?
because pain make urges,
strong urges that make the mind take over,
and say i don't care,
let me have what i want,
would you tell me i'm wrong?
because i'm not the girl,
you once thought i was in the begining,
because of the $#it i've been through,
starting to make me want one thing,
would you tell me i'm wrong?
because i want to end my life,
because i'm sick of dealing with something,
that just wasn't my fault in the first place.

What's Wrong With That

How did i end up here
Closer to no where
In the middle of nothing
And i hide one step back from where i was
Spinning in circles gets old after a while
You say if i fall i will fall straight in to your arms
Should i trip over my feet
And if i start to slip i will slip right onto my knees
In to the center of your hands
Because maybe some day
I can learn to trust you
And just stop thinking with my head
Because maybe someday
I can learn to let go
I lose control and that's ok with me
I lose control tell me what is wrong with that
Why do i have to know everything
And why does everything always have to make since
Why do i always have to have you figured out
Cause i just want to take your hand
Cause you say if i fall i will fall straight in to your arms
Should i trip over my feet
And if i start to slip i will slip right onto my knees
In to the center of your hands
Because maybe some day
I can learn to trust you
And just stop thinking with my head
Because maybe someday
I can learn to let go
I lose control and that's ok with me
I lose control tell me what is wrong with that
What's wrong with that x 3
Maybe someday i can learn to trust you
And just stop thinking with my head
Because maybe someday
I can learn to let go
I lose control and that's ok with me
I lose control tell me what is wrong with that
What's wrong with that x 2

In Love There Is No Pride

I was full of
Simple dreams, yeah
Thought Id find her
And be with her full time
Shes not mine,
Thought Id find
A name with mine
4:00 am on monday morning
And I cant get you
Out of my head
At all, should I call
Hearts gonna
Fall in love again
Chorus:
With love
There is no pride
Shouldve been strong
Taking changes on
Love isnt wrong
Theres nowhere
Left to hide,
Wrong or right
Could it be that
I hold you
I was never one
To beg at all
But Im dying here for
All of your love
Repeat chorus
And all these thoughts
Race through my head
Will it be, that
Ill never have
Your touch,
Your feel
You near to me
Will it ever be
Oh

The Wrong Girl

You got a great apartment an' a real nice car.
The job you always wanted; you're gonna go far.
You got everything you need in this world,
But you got the wrong girl.
Everybody's lookin' 'cause you look so hot.
You don't know it yet, but I know what you got.
Go ahead an' give it a whirl,
But you got the wrong girl.
If you're lookin' for love, you're lookin' too hard.
You can't see that what you need is right in your backyard.
You were blinded by diamonds an' you missed a pearl.
Yeah, you got the wrong girl.
Instrumental break.
Does she like fishin'?
Four wheelin' in the woods?
Will she get her hands greasy up underneath the hood?
I bet she never listens to Merle:
Yeah, you got the wrong girl.
If you're lookin' for love, you're lookin' too hard.
You can't see that what you need is right in your backyard.
You were blinded by diamonds an' you missed a pearl.
You got the wrong girl.
Yeah, you got the wrong girl.
Yeah, you got the wrong girl.
You got the wrong girl.
Yeah, you got the wrong girl.
Yeah, you got the wrong girl.

Hole In My Head

Hole in my head
hole in my head
I need a boy like you like a hole in my head
I need a boy like you like a hole in my head
Let's just say we will and then don't instead

Wild goose chase
Wild goose chase
You're gonna take me boy on a wild goose chase
You're gonna take me boy on a wild goose chase
You better find somebody to take my place

You took my imagination and stomped it inthe ground
Now I can only think about you
chasin' the tracks that you left around

Hole in my head
hole in my head
Oh I need a boy like you like a hole in my head
I need a boy like you like a hole in my head
You make me feel so bad that I wish I was dead

Let the games begin
Yeah here I go again
I'm never gonna win

It must have knocked me crazy
it must have hit me hard
People must think I'm lazy
Like my shuffle's short
of playing a card

Wild goose chase
Wild goose chase
Oh I need a boy like you
like a wild goose chase
I need a boy like you
like a wild goose chase
You better find somebody to take my place

Let the games begin
Yeah here I go again

I need a boy like you (I need a boy like you)
I need a boy like you (I need a boy like you)

I need a boy like you
Like a hole in my head
Hole in my head
Hole in my head

Hole in my head
Hole in my head

Like a hole in my head

I need a boy like you (I need a boy like you)
I need a boy like you (I need a boy like you)

If I am strong

If I am strong.
Is it a compliment to be strong?
I think it's not that and it's wrong.
If I am strong
Do I have to ignore my feelings?
They think I am like a steel
And will survive and cope with any drilling?
If I am strong
I'll be able to overcome all those shrill feelings.
Is it really wrong to be strong?
But what should I do with my feelings?
It's so painful to be strong.
Why should I suffer all those hurts and pain?
Though I will never complain
If I am strong.
And I repeat again: If I am strong
It means I don't need help?
And love is not important to me? Oh, damn!
If I am strong
It looks so comfortable for others.
If I am strong
Should I forgive a lie?
If I am strong
There is no place of treachery in my life.
And I will never listen to falseness.
If I am strong..............................
It's so painful. Am I right?
I wouldn't like to fight
I will just say if you betray:
Get out of my way!

That Girl Will Never Be Mine

That girl will never be mine
First time I saw her at the front door
That girl, her face on every billboard
Hands down, you wont believe the way she laid her eyes on me
Six feet, I spot her from the cat walk
So far we got into a small talk
Too bad she had to move along
One smile and she was gone
Cant explain
I never thought that I was gonna lose my head
Call me insane
Theres got to be a way
How can I get next to her
Now tell me how its gonna be done
Will I win or lose this one?
(dont care about the fact that)
Shes in a different league
They say its no use that I try
That girl will never be mine
Next thing shes livin in my tv
That girl, stealin every daydream
Tough luck, she had to be a star when Im just same old me
But last night, I ran into her briefly
Guess what, she really wanna see me
They said that I was out of line
Whos wrong, whos right this time?
Cant explain
I never thought that I was gonna lose my head
Call me insane
Theres got to be a way
How can I get next to her
Now tell me how its gonna be done
Will I win or lose this one?
(dont care about the fact that)
Shes in a different league
They say its no use that I try

That girl is freakin me out
Dont care about the fact that shes all that
That girl has blown out the doubt
Theres no way for me to stop
That girl tearin up the big screen
That girl stealin every daydream
Tough luck, she had to be the one for me
She will be mine
No matter what they try to say
Theres got to be a way

what is right can sometimes be wrong,
like the right of a state to kill,
that to me is wrong,
like the right to have slaves
that was wrong, but they once
thought it was right,

something that feels so right
may, sometimes, be also be wrong,
like feeling love, and too much love
for a neighbor or yourself,
it can be intoxicating at times,
and it can kill you,

because what is right exists only
in our human minds,
limited, too narrow, too
confined in our flesh and blood,
in the context of our culture,
in the frames of our time,
to the dictates of religion
the liberality of our education,
to our biases and prejudices,

what we believe in, what we
touch with faith in dark places
what we try to light with candles,
or see in microscopes or see in
telescopes, or see with our eyes
and hearts wide open,

may still be wrong, or

still be not right,

so what is right after all?
Possibly, this can be right,
But possibly this can also be wrong,

We can always pray. But the doubt
Is always there. Cogito ergo sum.

Who can really be sure?
