An Unknown Identity
I don't know who I am,
No one knows who I am,
I can't speak for myself,
And obviously, one would speak for oneself,
I'm left alone,
And I receive no calls from my phone,
I don't know who my mother is,
Or my father,
I've no surname,
Not even a name,
And people often call me an orphan,
They usually call me a moron,
I'm tired of this life,
I know I live a miserable life,
I wish someone comes for my rescue,
I will wait for him in the world's longest queue,
For I wait with patience,
I can feel his presence,
I am left alone,
I feel like, one day I will be known,
To everyone around the world,
It will feel like a dream world,
I live with patience,
Although I have no guidance,
I will be known one day,
I hope someday,
I have an unknown identity,
I'm sure I will have a known identity.....

Live Life
Have you heard about trouble throughout the land
With the fascists and the left wing militants
Out of work executives are killing themselves
And the i.r.a. are killing everybody else
Dont panic, dont lose control
Keep your head, keep ahold
Act normal theres nothing wrong
Stay cool, just carry on
You gotta live life and be yourself
You cant live life for anyone else
You gotta live life thats all you do
Nobody gonna live your life for you
Dont get depressed when you read in the press
About world revolution and social unrest
Try not to panic when you switch on the news
And see crooked politicians and the unemployment queues
Its only life its really fine
So dont you believe all you read in the headlines
Live life see it through
Carry on its all you can do
You gotta live life for yourself, cant live for anyone else
You gotta live life, thats all you do
Nobody gonna live their life for you
Extra verse from long version:
Trendy intellectuals always take action,
For every cause thats ever been in fashion.
Weekend revolutionaries protest and sing
Because theyre dedicated followers of any old thing.
They got every solution for every revolution.
They live in the slums just like the poor people do
But theyd rather sniff coke instead of glue.
Right-wing fascists beat up the blacks,
Then they salute the union jack.
You cant pretent theres nothing wrong,
Its not the end, so just carry on.
Oh, lifes a mother, oh, lifes a mother
Oh, lifes a mother, oh, lifes a mother
You gotta live life for yourself, cant live life for anyone else
You gotta live life, thats all you can do
Nobody gonna live their life for you
Live life, you gotta live life
You gotta live life, you gotta live life

Far Behind
Now maybe I didnt mean to treat you bad
But I did it anyway
And not maybe
Some would say your life was sad
But you lived it anyway
And now maybe
Your friends they stand beside they watch you crumble
As you falter to the ground
And now maybe
Your friends they stand beside as you were flying
Oh you were flying oh so high
But then some day people look at you for what they call their own
They watch you suffer
Yeah they hear you calling home
But then some day we could take our time
To brush the leaves aside so you can reach us
But you left me far behind
Now maybe I didnt mean to treat you oh so bad
But I did it anyway
Now maybe some would say youre left with what you had
But you couldnt share the pain
No, no, no
Couldnt share the pain they watch you suffer
Now maybe I could have made my own mistakes
But I live with what Ive known
Yes maybe we might share in something great
But wont you look at where weve grown
Wont you look at where weve gone
But then someday comes tomorrow holds a sense of what I fear for you in my mind
As you trip the final line
And that cold day when you lost control
Shame you left my life
So soon you should have told me
But you left me far behind
Now maybe I didnt meant to treat you oh so bad
But I did it anyway
Now maybe some would say youre left with what you had
But you couldnt share the pain
No, no, no
Now maybe I didnt mean to treat you oh so bad
But I did it anyway
No maybe some would say youre left with what you had
But you couldnt share the pain
I said times have changed your friends
They come and watch you crumble to the ground
They watch you suffer
Yeah they hold you down
Hold you down
Maybe brother maybe love I didnt mean to treat you bad
But you left me far behind
Left me far behind
Left me far behind

When Theres No Tomorrow
Didnt want to face a long hot summer
Didnt want to spend another lonely night
Didnt want to stay until I met you
You could tell that we were made for each other
Something in the air and the time was right
Came into my life, oh, I cant forget you
I dont want to leave tomorrow
Yes I said it all inside of a letter
That I put in your hand when we walked in the sand
Dont you understand
I dont want to go where theres no tomorrow
You go your way, Ill go mine
Each one missing what they left behind
I dont wanna go where theres no tomorrow
Help me try to make a dream come true
I dont wanna leave if I cant be with you
Wouldnt ever change a thing for a minute
Seems the waters always deeper when youre in it
Thats the way it goes
Not the way I planned it
I dont want to leave without you
I dont want to go if you wont follow
Told you once, tell you once again
I dont want this summer to ever end
Gonna be there when I can

Hit The Freeway
[loon:]
And we dont stop, no ma
Whats the problem?
Always complain
When this chicks starving
What type of game is this?
I used to support ya
I thought yad appreciate
Somebody thinks that I bought ya
Shoes from milan, luis vuitton
Animals off back
And jewels in your arm
Mamie, theres nothing in me
Moves with the dawn
Loon a big fish
Who them fools in the park
[toni:]
Just when I made up my mind, I dont put you out, oh now
You had your chance you owned me, what makes you wanna call now
Can you try to tell me what made you choose her as your friend?
(I told you it was a friend baby)
Just when I think youve given up, its you again
All I can say
Farewell my lonely one
Nothing else you cant deny (so hit the freeway)
I dont ever wanna see you again
You didnt do me right so
So along, goodbye, goodnight (so hit the freeway)
Maybe in some other life
I will see you again.
I worry about the dow jones, if then compared to our fun, yeah
Imagine how crushed she was if you said I was not the one
(I didnt mean it girl, sorry about that)
My friends say I was in denial defending you as a perfect friend
No new rules must have raisen up, its you again
All I can say
Farewell my lonely one
Nothing else you cant deny (so hit the freeway)
I dont ever wanna see you again (sing it girl)
You didnt do me right so
So long, goodbye, goodnight (so hit the freeway)
Maybe in some other life
I will see you again.
[bridge]
But now that you left me
Crazy you upset me
You know you could have kept me
But baby you didnt get me on
To finally discover
Explore, uncover
The world as we know it
But you had to go and blow it
Damn its been so long since I heard your voice last summer
To be honest it made me smile, when I seen your number
(hey baby, you know I miss you, ha ha)
Baby, tell me what I should be instead of being your friend (you know)
And maybe someday in your dreams my love
You could say, damn its you again!
Now all I can say
Farewell my lonely one
Nothing else you cant deny (so hit the freeway)
I dont ever wanna see you again
You didnt do me right so
So long, goodbye, goodnight (so hit the freeway)
Maybe in some other life
Ill see you again.

Get It Moving
(david smalley)
Baby, dont you know that I couldnt share you
So, if youre coming back well get things straight
Its been so long since the day you left me
I never thought that Id have to wait
Get it moving back my way
Oh, I couldnt live another day without your love
Get it moving, yeah
Said you didnt want a love that would tie you.
You needed time and would I wait.
Ive been so lost and now Ive got to tell you
I need it all, I cant be second rate.
Get it moving back my way
Oh, I couldnt live another day without your love
Get it moving back my way
I need your loving more each day
Get it moving back my way
I wont be happy till I know youll stay
Said you didnt want a love that would tie you

Father Time
(sambora, child)
Father time
I couldnt make her wanna stay
I couldnt seem to find the words to say
Now I have to live in yesterday
Father time
I thought that you were on my side
I thought that I could keep our love alive
I thought that I could keep her satisfied
The clock keeps tickin and I keep on thinkin bout you
Im knockin at the door of your heart but I cant break through
Father time
Grant me just another day
Of our love I tried to make her stay
Father time
Dont tell me its too late
All my life you know that I would wait
Father time
Now shes gone
She didnt even say goodbye
I guess she didnt have the heart to try
She didnt even have the guts to lie
Father time
Only you can turn the page
And close the curtain on this empty stage
Only you can take my pain away
My heart keeps breakin and my body keeps aching for you
Its time to hold on but theres nothin left to hold on to
Father time
Grant me just another day
Of our love I tried to make her stay
Father time
Dont tell me its too late
All my life you know that I would wait
Father time
Father, father cant you see Im depending on you
Im dying at the door to your heart and I cant break through

Grant me just another day
Of our love I tried to make her stay

She Didnt Believe
Hes going back to georgia
Because he knows time and time has come
Dont even know if shell be waiting
Because hes been gone for way too long
How long will you stay
Boy you dont got nine lives to waste
How long will you stay
Saving time losing grace
She believed every word he told her
About the troubles and how they start
She didnt listen to the laughter
She only listened to her heart
How long will you stay
Boy you dont got nine lives to waste
How long will you stay
Saving time losing grace
She didnt believe
She didnt believe
She didnt believe
She didnt believe
He made a promise to no one
That he could right a wrong
He wanted to do something just
But he was just gone
How long will you stay
Boy you dont got nine lives to waste
How long will you stay
Saving time losing grace
She didnt believe
She didnt believe
She didnt believe believe believe
She didnt believe what they told her about her lover
Nothing left bet her tears and theirs were laughter
Forever after

Growing apart you couldn't see
Your not the man I want to be
Stale mate time it was over
All the while destroying each other
One thing I'd like you to know
I want my own life so let me go
All the years obeying the rules
Your game of life is played by fools
Just let me go, just let me fo
I can't feel nothing for you
But what is left for me to do
No cause for concern, we live & we learn
I'll just say goodbye
Search deep I have to find
The truth that lurks within my mind
Your words you used to drown me
Are washed away I'm free to be
Just let me go, just let me go
I can't feel nothing for you
But what is left for me to do
No cause for concern, we live & we learn
I'll just say goodbye
Now we're apart can you see
I'm now the man I want to be
A second chance not that its over
We don't need to hate each other
I can't feel nothing for you
But what is left for me to do
No cause for concern, we live & we learn

Happy To Live On Her Own
For twenty years married to a horrible man
In human years that does seem quite a long span
Her son and her daughter eighteen and nineteen
One might say that her better days she has seen.
A woman who does know about male abuse
Her husband when drunk often beat her though that's not an excuse
For such criminal behaviour to his beautiful wife
Some women with men have a terrible life.
He was not a good husband and a rotten dad
Herself and their children he did treat so bad
That he has left her for another she does feel quite glad
Though for his new woman she feels a bit sad.
She knows all about the anger of a man
And to marry again it is not in her plan
Some hard times in life one can say she has known
And now she is happy to live on her own.

Shes Gone Now
Now she has died.
She took her own life.
She didnt want to go on.
Thats why she left without a goodbye.
She couldnt tell you.
You'd of made her live.
But its all to late.
She always knew her fate.
Her life in the end was full of hate.
She does not wish to mourn.
She didnt want misery to be born.
Shes gone now
shes dead cold and gone

Live Again
When you turned and walked away
You said all you had to say
It was over
You just couldnt understand
How deeply I had given all my love to you
I was left alone in tears
Our life together had become a memory
And as far as I can see
There was darkness
And I had nothing left inside but pain and sorrow
I had no plans for my tomorrow
And I had to find a reason
That would make me live again
Live again
Now today
I feel my life is worth living
I have someone who is giving
Someone to share each new day
Someone who will always stay
When I think of yesterday
It all seems so far away
Im so happy
And I feel as my life has just begun
And that the world is gonna be mine
It is this feeling deep inside me
That has made me live again
Live again
Live again

Ruiner
You had all of them on your side, didnt you?
You believe in all your lies, didnt you?
The ruiners got a lot to prove hes got nothing to lose and now he made you believe
The ruiners your only friend well hes the living end to the cattle he deceives
The raping of the innocent you know the ruiner ruins everything he sees
Now the only pure thing left in my f**king world is wearing your disease
How did you get so big?
How did you get so strong?
How did you get so hard?
How did you get so long?
You had to give them all a sign, didnt you?
You had to covet what was mine, didnt you?
The ruiners a collector hes an infector serving his s**t to his flies
Maybe there will come a day when those that you keep blind will suddenly realize
Maybe its a part of me you took to a place I hoped it would never go
And maybe that f**ked me up so much more than youll ever know
How did you get so big?
How did you get so strong?
How did you get so hard?
How did you get so long?
What you gave to me
My perfect ring of scars
You know I can see what you really are
You didnt hurt me nothing can hurt me
You didnt hurt me nothing can stop me now

Bible in Poetry: 1 Corinthians 7
Marriage:
1’Tis good for man, not to marry.
2 With so much immorality,
Each man should have his own, one wife,
And each woman, own, one husband.
3 The husband should fulfill to wife,
His marital duty always;
And likewise, wife to her husband.
4 Wife's body doesn’t belong to her
Alone, but to her husband too.
In the same way, husband's body
Does not belong to him alone
But also to his wife as well.
5 Do not deprive each other then,
Except by mutual consent and
For just sometime, so that you may
Devote yourselves to some prayer.
Then come again together for
As Satan will not tempt you for
Your lack of self-control in life.
6 I say this as a concession,
And this is not a command then.
7 I wish all men were as I am.
Each man has his own gift from God;
One has this gift, another, that.
8 Now to unmarried and widows:
’Tis good to stay unmarried too.
9 If they can’t control themselves then,
’Tis better they should get married
Than, burn with passion in your life.
10 Lord’s command to the married ones:
A wife must not separate from husband.
11 But if she does, she must stay unmarried,
Or else be reconciled to her husband.
A husband mustn’t divorce his wife.
12 To rest I say (I, not the Lord) :
If any brother has a wife,
Who isn’t a believer but then,
She is willing to live with him,
He must not divorce her, as yet.
13 And if a woman has husband,
Who isn’t a believer as yet,
But is willing to live with her,
She must not divorce him as well.
14 For the unbelieving husband
Has been sanctified through his wife,
And the unbelieving wife too,
Has been sanctified through husband.
If not, your children wouldn’t be clean,
But as it is, they are holy.
15 But if the unbeliever leaves,
Then, let him do so anyway.
Believing man or woman is
Not bound in such circumstances;
For, God has called to live in peace.
16 How do you know, wife, whether you’ll
Save your husband anyway then?
Or, how do you know, husband then,
If you will save your wife surely?
17 Each one should hold the place in life
That Lord assigned to him on earth,
And to which the Lord has called him.
This rule I give to all churches.
18 Was man circumcised when he’as called?
He shouldn’t become uncircumcised.
Was man uncircumcised when called?
He should not be circumcised.
19 Circumcision is nothing then,
Uncircumcision is too naught.
To keep God's commands is what counts.
20 One should remain in situation,
In which he was, when God called him.
21 Were you a slave when you were called?
Don't let it trouble you at all—
If you can become free, do so.
22 For he who was a slave when called
By Lord is the Lord's freed man then;
Similarly, he who was free,
When he was called is slave of Christ.
23 For you were all bought at a price;
Do not become then slaves of men.
24 Each man, responsible to God,
Should stay in place, God called him to.
25 So now, something about virgins:
I have no command from the Lord,
I give a judgment as one who
By Lord's mercy is trustworthy.
26 Because of the present crisis,
’Tis good to remain as you are.
27 Are you married? Don’t seek divorce.
Are you unmarried? Don’t search spouse.
28 If you do marry, you haven’t sinned;
If virgin marries, she hasn’t sinned.
But those who marry, face troubles,
And I want you to escape this.
29 So what I mean is time is short.
From now onwards, those who have wives
Should live as if they didn’t have one.
30 And those who mourn, as if they didn’t;
And those happy, as if they weren’t;
And those who buy, as if it were not theirs;
31 And those who use the things of world,
As if they weren’t engrossed in them.
This world today is passing out.
32 Be free from concern anyway.
An unmarried man thinks of Lord's affairs—
How much more he can please the Lord.
33 A married man thinks of affairs of world—
How he can please his wife only—
34 His interests are divided.
An unmarried woman, virgin
Is concerned of the Lord's affairs:
She aims to devote to the Lord
In both her body and spirit.
A married woman is concerned
About the affairs of this world—
How she can please her husband then.
35 I’m saying this for your own good,
Not restrict you, but make you live
In total devotion to Lord.
36 If one thinks that he is acting
Improperly to the virgin,
He has been engaged to ahead,
And she is getting old in years,
And he feels that he must marry,
He should do as he wishes then.
He doesn’t sin. They should get married.
37 But man who has settled then well
The matter in his mind clearly,
And is under no compulsion
But has control over his will,
And who has made up in his mind
Not to marry the virgin still—
This man is doing the right thing.
38 So, he who marries the virgin does right,
But he who doesn’t marry, does ev’n better.
39 As long as he lives, a woman,
Is bound to her husband alone.
But if her husband dies, she’s free
To marry one, she wishes to,
But he must belong to the Lord.
40 She’s happier if she stays as she is—
And I do think I too have God’s Spirit.

Grandpa Told Me So
(mark alan springer/james dean hicks)
If you dont get in the water youre never gonna learn to swim
He said a snake is just as scared of you as you are of him
He could tell by the moon when the fish would bite
Seems there was nothing that he didnt know
And as a kid I believed cause grandpa told me so
He talked daddy into letting me have my first car
I thought I was really something til becky thompson broke my heart
That first taste of love really did me in
Getting over her slow
And I knew someday I would cause grandpa told me so
He said life is made for you to live
The best love is the love that you give
Therell be times when you wanna hold on but you gotta let go
And I live by those words cause grandpa told me so
I promised him I wouldnt cry when it was his time to leave
Thats the only promise I made him I couldnt keep
He smiled from his bed and said well meet again
Somewhere down the road
And I believe cause grandpa told me so
He said life is made for you to live
The best love is the love that you give
Therell be times when you wanna hold on but you gotta let go
And I live by those words cause grandpa told me so
He said life is made for you to live
The best love is the love that you give
Therell be times when you wanna hold on but you gotta let go
And I live by those words cause grandpa told me so
Yeah and I still believe
Grandpa told me so
Grandpa told me so
I still believe
Grandpa told me so
I still believe...

Nevermind
The war was lost
The treaty signed
I was not caught
I crossed the line
I was not caught
Though many tried
I live among you
Well disguised
I had to leave
My life behind
I dug some graves
You’ll never find
The story’s told
With facts and lies
I had a name
But never mind
Never mind
Never mind
The war was lost
The treaty signed
There’s truth that lives
And truth that dies
I don’t know which
So never mind
Your victory
Was so complete
That some among you
Thought to keep
A record of
Our little lives
The clothes we wore
Our spoons our knives
The games of luck
Our soldiers played
The stones we cut
The songs we made
Our law of peace
Which understands
A husband leads
A wife commands
And all of this
Expressions of
The Sweet Indifference
Some call Love
The High Indifference
Some call Fate
But we had Names
More intimate
Names so deep and
Names so true
They’re blood to me
They’re dust to you
There is no need
That this survive
There’s truth that lives
And truth that dies
Never mind
Never mind
I live the life
I left behind
There’s truth that lives...
I could not kill
The way you kill
I could not hate
I tried I failed
You turned me in
At least you tried
You side with them
Whom you despise
This was your heart
This swarm of flies
This was once your mouth
This bowl of lies
You serve them well
I’m not surprised
You’re of their kin
You’re of their kind
Never mind
Never mind
The story’s told
With facts and lies
You own the world
So never mind
Never mind
Never mind
I live the life
I left behind
I live it full
I live it wide
Through layers of time
You can’t divide
My woman’s here
My children too
Their graves are safe
From ghosts like you
In places deep
With roots entwined
I live the life I left behind

The Real Life
Suzanne divorced her husband
She got the keys and the car and the home
But her friends were really his friens
No one stops by to see her much any more
So one night, she goes back down to
The old haunts
That once upon a time were her own
She didnt know nobody out there no
More
And the whole experience just made her
Feel so old
She says
I want to live the real life
I want to life my life close to the bone
Just because im middle-aged that
Dont mean
I want to sit around my house and watch tv
I want the real life
I want to live the real life
Jackson jackson was a good kid
He had four years of college
And a bachelors degree
Started workin, when he was 21
Got fed up and quit
When he was 43
He said, my whole life
Ive done, what I supposed to do
Now id like to maybe do something
For myself
And just as soon, I figure out what
That is
You can bet your live
Im gonna give it hell
He says
I want to live the real life
I want to life my life close to the bone
Just because im middle-aged that
Dont mean
I want to sit around my house and watch tv
I want the real life
I want to live the real life
I guess, it dont matter, how old you
Are
Or how old one lives to be
I guess, it boils down to what we did
With our lives
And how we deal with our own
Destinies
But something happens
When you reach a certain age
Particularly to to those ones, that are
Young at heart
Its a lonely proposition when you
Realize
That theres less days in front of the
Horse
Than riding in the back of this cart
I say
I want to live the real life
I want to life my life close to the bone
Just because im middle-aged that
Dont mean
I want to sit around my house and watch tv
I want the real life
I want to live the real life.

Walking In The Shadow Of The Blues
(coverdale/marsden)
I love the blues,
They tell my story,
If you dont feel it you can never understand
So many times I thought about it
And now I know just what it means to be a man
Everyday I realize you can see it in my eyes
I never wait, or hesitate.
cos I love the life I live,
Im gonna live the life I choose,
You gotta understand
Im walking in the shadow of the blues
All of my life Ive had a strange reputation,
Ive been the black sheep of the family all along
I never know if in my heart Im really guilty
But, Ive been accused of never knowing right from wrong
Everyday I realize you can see it in my eyes
I never wait, or hesitate.
cos I love the life I live,
Im gonna live the life I choose,
You gotta understand
Im walking in the shadow of the blues
My father said youre crazy,
He said what you gonna do?
I left with my guitar and said
Ill leave it up to you
Im gonna live the life I love
And live the life I choose,
And Im walking in the shadow of the blues
I love the blues,
They tell my story,
If you dont feel it I will tell you once again
All of my life Ive been caught up in a crossfire,
cos Ive been branded with the devil mark of cain
Everyday I realize you can see it in my eyes
I never wait, or hesitate.
cos I love the life I live,
Im gonna live the life I choose,
You gotta understand
Im walking in the shadow of the blues,
Im walking in the shadow of the blues
