Iraq War Poem (1) Writing Mom
Some once said
hell is the imposiblity of reason
thats whats this place feels like mom hell
We sleep all day mom
and drive all night like ghosts thru the desert
no one talks
no one
talking out here could get you killed
thats as little as it takes
I miss you mom so much
in a half hour
its back to patrol
back to the sand
I may make it home in one piece
but I will never be whole again
none of us will
shit gun fire
dont panic its routine
kiss grandma for me
see you soon
love chris.

Mom and dad went to a show
They dropped me off at Grandpa Joe's
I kicked and screamed, said please don't go
Grandma take me home

Had to eat my dinner there
Mashed potatoes and stuff like that
I couldn't chew my meats too good
Grandma take me home

Go outside and ride your bike
That's what I did, I killed my toe

Drive In, Drive Out
Say, all you sisters and brothers
All matters if I divide us so
Our own political words they ponder us so...
This side, that side
Right, wrong... driving me back
Drive in drive out, Im leaving
I come back again
Im leaving...
Hell has its own place, we carry on....
Well, everyone sit inside, watch whats going on
Well, as you will drive in, and drive us apart.
Dont trust words that delight us or
Get into my heart... yeah....
Ohh ah ah leah ho... I run away, run away
Run away guy, run away guy,
Run out, run out...
You and me sister, sometimes I feel you figure it all out.
You and me sister, oh, weve got it right.
Our differences, differences, mother and in cold life,
Why must I steadfast, stand by what I think is right?
Oh drive in drive out, Im leaving
Drive in drive out, Ill come back again
Drive in drive out, Im leaving
Hell has a place for everyone, its here: alone.
Oh, the devil hes not hiding underground, hes waiting by your front door
Well, tv men take you away, rock up your world
Too many wont leave you alone, drive you alone
Man, when Im going back again, light in some peace....yeah...

Say What
Say what, make out
Say what, make out
Its a crazy situation
Keeps my body hot
I want infatuation
Something you aint got
This fire inside
A love so bright
Say what
The hell you think youve done
Drive me higher and higher
Make out (make out)
When nothings going on
Oh youre such a liar
I got no future
Whats the use in keeping tight
Always wrapped up in yourself
Oh youre alright
Why should I fall
No love at all
Say what
The hell you think youve done
Drive me higher and higher
Make out (make out)
When nothings going on
Oh youre such a liar
Mama said youre as good as dead
If you dont polish up yourself
(love dont come either)
Say what
Love, love, love
(love dont come either)
Make out
Whyd you try to fool me
I see, got no heart
Threw me tried to rue me
Tore my head apart
See your lover move on
See right from wrong
Say what
The hell you think youve done
Drive me higher and higher
Make out (make out)
When nothings going on
Oh youre such a liar
Mama said youre as good as dead
If you dont polish up yourself
Say what
The hell you think youve done
Drive me higher and higher
Make out (make out)
When nothings going on
Oh youre such a liar
Say what
The hell you think youve done
Drive me higher and higher
Make out (make out)
When nothings going on
Oh youre such a liar

Scared 4 U Mom
Please mom come back,
Please dont stay their for 9 days,
I wont cope please come back,
I love you,
I hope you`ll be ok,
Whats happening? ,
All i know is you`ve gone,
with the paramedics,
and that you`ve had an astma attack and a fit,
Please be ok,
Please dont leave me,
Mom im scared,
I dont want to loose you,
Please dont go to heaven not yet,
I should be used to this,
From the amount of times,
You`ve been in and out of hospital,
But im not so please,
Just come back safely in 1 piece,
And make it to night,
Im scared your not gonna come back,
Please make it better and come home,
Please, mom come back,
dont leave me on my own,
Please mom just make it home.

True Blue
(rod stewart / ron wood)
Never been a millionaire
And I tell you mama I dont care
Never gonna own a race-horse
Or a fast back mid-engine porsche
Dont think Ill own a private jet
On the stock exchange Im no threat
So wont you help me make up my mind
Dont you think Id better get myself back home
Sitting in the moonlight glow
Excuse me if my feelings show
Watching all the trucks roll by
Dreaming up an alibi
You see, back home Im considered the fool
But maybe theyre right I dont know
So cant you help make up my mind
Dont you think Id better get myself back home
Who cares
Daddy says hell buy me car
To drive just as far as I need
He wants me back at any expense
Hes got a lot more money than sense
Funny but now that Im gone
They all wanna be concerned
Oh please can you make up my mind
Dont you think Id better get myself back home
Just dont know what to do
Maybe Ill walk, maybe Ill ride, maybe Ill never ever decide
Get out da way
I gotta get on home
I gotta get home as soon as I can

Dont Talk To Strangers
When you were just a young girl and still in school
How come you never learned the golden rule
Dont talk to strange men, dont be a fool
Im hearing stories, I dont think thats cool
Why dont you tell me, someone is loving you
Cause youre my girl, some say its no longer true
Youre seeing some slick continental dude
Im begging you, please
Dont talk to strangers, baby dont you talk
Dont talk to strangers, you know hell only use you up
Dont talk, dont talk, dont talk,
Dont talk, dont talk to him
Nobody, talk, nobody, ever told you, dont talk
Now tell me, hows life in the big city
I hear the competitions tough, baby thats a pity
And every mans an actor, every girl is pretty
I dont like whats getting back to me
Now whos this, don juan Ive been hearing of
Love hurts when only ones in love
Did you fall at first sight or did you need a shove
Im begging you, please
Dont talk to strangers, baby dont you talk
Dont talk to strangers, you know hell only use you up
Dont talk, dont talk, dont talk,
Dont talk, dont talk to him
Nobody, talk, nobody ever told you, dont talk
*fais lamour avec moi (*make love to me)
Whats he saying baby
*viens dormir, mon amour (*come to sleep my love)
I asked you not to talk to him
*je taime donne moi ton coeur ce soir (*i like you to give me your heart this night)
Im begging you
Dont talk to strangers, baby dont you talk
Dont talk to strangers, you know hell only use you up
Dont talk, dont talk, dont talk,
Dont talk, dont talk to him
Nobody, talk, nobody ever told you, dont talk
Dont talk to strangers, baby dont you talk
Dont talk to strangers, you know hell only use you up
Dont talk to strangers, baby dont you,
Baby dont you talk,
Dont talk to strangers

Hell Aint A Bad Place To Be
Hey you -
Sometimes I think this woman is kinda hot
Sometimes I think this woman is sometimes not
Puts me down, fools me around
Whats she doing to me?
Out for satisfaction, any piece of action
That aint the way it should be
She needs love, smells out a man
Shes gotta see
Pours my beer, licks my ear
Brings out the devil in me
Hell aint a bad place to be
Spends my money, drinks my booze, stays out every night
And I got to thinking, hey, just a minute, something aint right
Disillusions and confusion
Make me want to cry
All the same, you lead your games
Tellin me your lies
Dont mind her playing a demon
As long as its with me
If this is hell then you could say
Its heavenly
Hell aint a bad place to be
Late at night turns down the lights
Closes up on me
Opens my heart, tears it apart
Brings out the devil in me
Hell aint no bad place to be

Youre All I Have
Waking ups to dream about last night
Needing to touch you once more
Wondering whats happened to this broken heart of mine
I feel it beating so strong, feels like something so ?
Still without you I cant live
Youre all I have
Please dont take your love from me
Youre all I have
Youre my life, my destiny
Youre all I have
My only reason to believe
You are my heaven, my hell
Still youre all I need to live
Wondering through memories with you
I know, the love never die
Im stepping out of lonelyness
This time for good
I need to have you again
Were more than lovers or friends
Still without you I cant live
Youre all I have
Please dont take your love from me
Youre all I have
Youre my life, my destiny
Youre all I have
My only reason to believe
You are my heaven, my hell
Still youre all I need
Youre all I have
Please dont take your love from me
Youre all I have
Youre my life, my destiny
Youre all I have
My only reason to believe
You are my heaven, my hell
Youre all I have
Please dont take your love
From me
Youre all I have
Youre my life, my destiny
Youre all I have
My only reason to believe
You are my heaven, my hell
Youre all I have

Caravan
Moses went into the desert
Moses came back with the law
Jesus went into the desert
God only knows what he saw
Hitch up your ass and your camel
Fill up your skin at the well
Roll up your tent, whisper your prayers
Are you ready to ride through hell
Caravan moving through the night
Sleeping in the light of day
Caravan spinning through the void
On our way to anywhere
Caravan time is just a joke change is all we
Understand
Caravan life is a mirage,
Only a mirage dancing on the desert sand
How I recall all the mountains
How I remember the farm
Oh how I miss the big city
With a pretty girl on my arm
Sell my best friend for some water
Cut off my leg for some shade
Sunburn these thoughts from my memory
If I live I will be remade
The sand is like a razor
Slashing at my face
Everyones in panic but you cant see any place
Its a sand storm, taken by surprise
Hide beneath your wrappings and cover up your eyes
Well I lost my kit and camel
Maybe I will die
Feel so lost and helpless and I think Im gonna cry
Its a sand storm, nothing you can do
No one knows if it will last
No one knows if you will make it through
Its been so long without water
Vultures are filling the air
Where is that bloody oasis
Must be around here somewhere
Time for some strong meditation
Time for the ultimate change
Time to make peace with your maker
Everything has been prearranged

Take Me Back Home
vs.1 Well, I've been missin' the place where I was born.
I lived there for 13 years, so when we moved, my heart was torn.
I feel like there's a missin' piece in the puzzle inside of me.
I really hope that I can find where I'm 'sposed to be.
(chorus)
Take me back home where I grew up,
With my other family and my other friends.
Take me to the place that I love,
Where my life had began.
That's where I wanna be,
Until I'm not alone.
I need someone to take me back..
To take me back home.
vs.2 I don't know what I'd do if I was told I couldn't go back.
I don't think anyone'd tell me that, but if they did, now's the time to pack.
I know Kentucky's not my home, and this isn't where I should be.
But if I don't make it down to Georgia, I'mma headin' to NC or Tennessee.
(chorus)
(instrumental)
Bridge: If I have to stay here any longer,
I think I just might bust.
I miss my momma just so much,
And Georgia's the place I miss most!
(chorus) x 2
Yeah, I really need someone to take me back..
To take me back home!

Bleed
Someone is talking
But its not conversation,
Sounds more like a voice in my head.
It says
i live in nightmares
Im the new God of panic
And Im waiting for you to come home to me.
so boy, welcome to sleep
Im gonna make you, make you, make you bleed.
I could be dreaming
But then maybe thats fatal.
Theres nowhere to hide in your dreams.
Im so uneasy
Im shaking and nervous.
Im alone in my room and Im scared of it.
So, dont let me sleep
Its gonna make me, make me, make me bleed.
My mother told me
dont believe in ghost stories.
Theres nothing to hurt you in here.
But she was wrong
And now its come back to haunt me.
It says it wont leave me alive for long.
I dont want to sleep.
Its gonna make me, make me, make me bleed.

Take me Back home
Take me back,
Back where I once came from,
From the place I was born and raised,
This place I am at its not home its pure hell for me,
A young child who was only
8 left home to be in a new so called happy place,
That place made me miserable,
Hated by those who hated me,
Picked on those you can’t fight back,
Yet I cry and cry over no one heard my pain,
I scream no one heard,
It’s a little too late for me to go back,
At 16 yet I still think of my true home where my true heart lays,
Where I must try to go back no matter what it takes,
Just take me back home where I feel safe at.

On A Seven-Day Diary
Oh I got up and went to work
and worked and came back home
and ate and talked and went to sleep.
Then I got up and went to work
and worked and came back home
from work and ate and slept.
Then I got up and went to work
and worked and came back home
and ate and watched a show and slept.
Then I got up and went to work
and worked and came back home
and ate steak and went to sleep.
Then I got up and went to work
and worked and came back home
and ate and fucked and went to sleep.
Then it was Saturday, Saturday, Saturday!
Love must be the reason for the week!
We went shopping! I saw clouds!
The children explained everything!
I could talk about the main thing!
What did I drink on Saturday night
that lost the first, best half of Sunday?
The last half wasn't worth this 'word.'
Then I got up and went to work
and worked and came back home
from work and ate and went to sleep,
refreshed but tired by the weekend.

Half-penny, Two-penny
Written by james young
Lead vocals by james young
Half penny, two penny, gold krugerrand
He was exceedingly rich for such a young man
Sad story, old story
Bring out the band
Another divorce just a few hundred grand
Half penny, two penny, back of the queue
Yes mister poor man this means you
Justice for money what can you say
We all know its the american way
Yes, Im gonna shake myself loose
Back home across the sea
Where I know that I will be free
Half penny, two penny, back in the states
You just couldnt take that african pace
Yes, mrs. cleaver your sons home to stay
We all know its the american way
Yes, Im gonna shake myself loose
Back home across the sea
Where I know that I will be free
Come here - hey angelo... whats happenin?
Hey, stosh, good to see ya
What the hell you doin?
Were tearing this old building down here
Oh youre kiddin me. remember when we were kids, and we used to come here every saturday afternoon to see a cartoon?
Yeah, I remember
Well whats she lost to?
Who knows- politicians, taxes...its a disgrace
Im not surprised, they make me sick. they dont make theaters like this any more.
Half penny, two penny, ashes to dust
The almighty dollar says in God we trust
Justice for money how much more can I pay
We all know its the american way
Yes, Im gonna shake myself loose
Back home across the sea
Where I know that I will be free
(I want to be free)
Yes, Im gonna shake myself loose
Back home across the sea
Where I know that I will be free
(we all want to be free)

What I Miss About Heaven
Mama always said love is like heaven
Holdin' hands in church and prayin' together
Late night talks and morning walks
But I don't remember all that innocent stuff
What I can't forget is the feel of your touch
I guess I ain't no angel, but you gave me a reason to sing
To have you back in my life again, I would trade all silver rings
So forgive me for the cold hard truth
The only thing about heaven I miss is you
We run out of time and things to say
But I find any old excuse to make you stay
One little thing we did just right
Now it takes all night, to shake you from my memory,
I toss and turn in my empty bed, trying to break free
I guess I ain't no angel, but you gave me a reason to sing
To have you back in my life again, I would trade all silver rings
So forgive me for the cold hard truth
The only thing about heaven I miss is you
The only thing about heaven I miss is the backseat, summer night, hilltop kiss
I ain't ashamed to admit that this is the only thing I miss
The only thing about heaven I miss is the backseat, summer night, hilltop kiss
I ain't ashamed to admit that this is the only thing I miss
I guess I ain't no angel, but you gave me a reason to sing
To have you back in my life again, I would trade all silver rings
So forgive me for the cold hard truth
The only thing about heaven I miss
The only thing about heaven I miss is you

Desert Blues
Cant get no this,
And I cant get no that,
Cant get no you know,
I dont even know where its at.
Aint got the smoke and uh, aint no booze,
Got them low down dried out desert blues, yes I do.
Um, a george carlin said I had to go,
Just what he wanted I did not know,
Im over here dug in so far from home,
Lookin all around try and see whats going on.
I got the sand in my collar,
Got the sand in my hair,
Got it in my pockets,
Got it everywhere.
I got sand in my shirt,
Got it in my shoes,
Got them low down dried out desert blues, yes I do, how how how.
Joined up in the army
Where it was hard to find,
End up over here, got my ass on the line,
But Ill be right here until my work is done,
If I get back home I hope I never see no more guns.
Here across the ocean,
I left some of my good friends behind,
I hope somebodys thinking about me,
Especially that sweet little woman of mine.
Cant get no this,
And I cant get no that,
Cant get no you know,
I dont even know where its at.
Sand in my collar,
Got the sand in my hair,
Got it in my pockets,
Got it everywhere.
I got sand in my shirt,
Got it in my shoes,
Got them low down dried out desert blues,
Yes I do.

From Here To Eternity
She fell in love with his geasy machine
She leaned over wiped his kickstart clean
Shed never seen the beast before
But she left there wanting more more more
When she was walking on down the road
She heard a sound that made her heart explode
He wispered to her to get on the back
Ill take you on a ride form here to eternity
Hell aint a bad place
Hell is from here to eternity
Hell aint a bad place
Hell is from here to eternity
She must be having one of her crazy dreams
She never sat on a piece so mean
It made her feel like she on cloud nine
She even thought she heard the engine sigh
But like all dreams that come to an end
They took a tumble at the devils bend
The beast and charlotte they were two of a kind
Theyd always take the line from here to eternity
Hell aint a bad place
Hell is from here to eternity
Hell aint a bad place
Hell is from here to eternity

Miss Your Kiss
Well I miss you yeah, but I dont really miss your touch
Not too much
Send your love express, but I dont need it all that much
Not too much
You know its true, you know its true
I dont miss your fascinating conversation
And theres more room in the bed now that youre gone
Dont tell me I miss your smile, you know me baby
This is the real deal and you know just what Ive missed
You get my gist, the thing is this
Baby I miss your kiss (not joking)
The truth is this (you just cant miss)
I dont want to be fooling around (miss your kiss)
Baby I miss your kiss (trust me on this)
If I had my wish couldnt ask for more
Miss your kiss
Now when I get home if you still want to talk all night
Thats alright
And I want it known if you just want to turn out the light
I wont fight
Ill make love to you, make love to you... if you want to
You know baby anything goes
And Ill even get you breakfast in your bed
As long as I get my fix
You know it baby, Im missing the real thing
And you know just what that is
If I resist just slap my wrist
Baby I miss your kiss (not joking)
The truth is this (you just cant miss)
I dont want to be fooling around (miss your kiss)
Baby I miss your kiss (trust me on this)
If I had my wish couldnt ask for more
Miss your kiss
I know what I want, and what I dont have
What I wont give for your kiss
Nothing better, nothing better
If you hear me say yeah yeah
Thats the way I want it face to face

Burning Hell
Women got legs, men got pants
I got the picnic, you got the ants,
Put it in the fire heaven knows
Take my torch and touch your toes in hell
Its a burning hell
You can burn in hell
Its a burning hell
You can burn in hell
Its a burning hell
Women dont fret, boys dont bet
Let me see your silhouette in hell
Women above me take my love
Love, love, love, love, love, love, love
Its a burning hell
Its a burning hell
Baby, baby, baby, Im hell
Its a burning hell
Girl stop moving, boy behave
Baby, Ill put you in an early grave in hell
Love on the ceiling, love on the floor
Im gonna leave you burning for more
Burn in the country, burn downtown
All the best people are burning down in hell, hell, ah hell

Youll burn in hell
Its a big, burning, giant, colossal matter

Love Is Hell
There's strange weather in the back of the room
And she's pretty, Jesse's spinning the tunes
Eyelashes, and some white leather boots
God, what have I been drinking?
I could be serious but I'm just kiddin' around
I could be anything, anything but sticking around
Love is hell
Love is hell
Love is . . . hell
Is . . .hell
It's raining, I can see it outside
Funny I'm still in it
Just sitting here with Johnny and Raph'
Untll the room starts spinning
I could be serious but I'm just kiddin' around
I could be anything, nothing, whatever, oh well
Love is hell
