Where Do I Start?
i had it all planned out
i would graduate, become somebody
a winner of the pulitzer prize
maybe even nobel...
but the dedication just isnt there
and where can i go without that?
how can i achieve with no drive?
no motivation
a problem that plagues many
but brings me to my knees
it doesnt bounce off the tip of my tounge anymore
i cant astonish people with my wit and talent
my aptitude for stringing together sentences that move
and make you feel
i never felt
was just a machine that spewed out words and vague ideas
i feel now...
where do i start?

There is no prize, out there. The only prize is, this one, and what you feel and what you want to accomplish. And if you can, as you start out, these what could be lean years or could be fat years. I feel that I very often watch a lot of young people sort of meander around without any idea about why they're doing what they're doing. I mean to want and to be ambitious and to want to be successful, is not enough. That's just desire. To know what you want, to understand why you're doing it, to dedicate every breath in your body to achieve... If you feel you have something to give, if you feel that your particular talent is worth developing, is worth caring for then there's nothing you can't achieve.

The Damage In Your Heart
One more time I have crossed the line.
Now you wont be mine anymore.
One more dream vanished up in smoke.
Now I have no hope anymore.
Let it go.
The damage in your heart
Let it go.
The damage in your heart
I cant tell you how the words will make me feel.
I cant tell you how the words will make me feel.
One more tear falling down your face
Doesnt mean that much to the world
One more loss in a losing life
Doesnt hurt so bad anymore.
Let it go.
The damage in your heart
Let it go.
The damage in your heart
I cant tell you how the words will make me feel.
I cant tell you how the words will make me feel.
One more tear falling down your face
Doesnt mean that much to the world
Let it go.
The damage in your heart
Let it go.
The damage in your heart
I cant tell you how the words will make me feel.
I cant tell you how the words will make me feel.

[say it isnt so]
Say it isnt so painful to tell me that youre dissatisfied.
Last time I asked you I really got a lame excuse.
I know that you lied.
Now wicked things can happen...you see em goin down in war.
But when you play in a quiet way that bites it even more.
[say it]
Tell me what you want yeah
Ill do it baby I promise right now.
[say it]
Who propped you up when you were stopped low motivation had you on the ground.
I know your first reaction you slide away hide away goodbye.
But if theres a doubt maybe I can give out a thousand reasons why.
You have to say it isnt so...
[it isnt so].
I say it isnt so
[it isnt so]
I say it isnt so
[it isnt so].
I say it isnt so
[it isnt so]

We like to be the strangers at the party, two rebels in a shell.
[say it]
You like to move with the best of them you know we move so well.
Dont need someone to lean on. I know that theres an open door.
But if Im faced with being replaced I want you even more so baby say it isnt so...
[it isnt so].
I say it isnt so
[it isnt so].
I say it isnt so

I say it isnt so

Together
something just isnt right.
i can feel it inside.
the truth isnt far behind me
you cant deny
when i turn the lights out
when i close my eyes
reality over comes me
im living a lie
when im alone
i feel so much better
when im wrapped in you
i dont feel loved
together doesnt feel right anymore
together we have built a wall
together holding hands will fall
our hands will fall...
this has gone on oh so long
i realize i need something good to rely on
something for me
together doesnt feel right at all
heart is broken
im lying here
my thoughts are choking
when im around you i dont feel any love
when im not around you
i feel so much more free
together is just not where we belong.

Sir Duke
Music is a world within itself
With a language we all understand
With an equal opportunity
For all to sing, dance and clap their hands
But just because a record has a groove
Dont make it in the groove
But you can tell right away at letter a
When the people start to move
They can feel it all over
They can feel it all over people
They can feel it all over
They can feel it all over people
Music knows it is and always will
Be one of the things that life just wont quit
But here are some of musics pioneers
That time will not allow us to forget
For theres basie, miller, satchmo
And the king of all sir duke
And with a voice like ellas ringing out
Theres no way the band can lose
You can feel it all over
You can feel it all over people
You can feel it all over
You can feel it all over people
You can feel it all over
You can feel it all over people
You can feel it all over
You can feel it all over people
You can feel it all over
You can feel it all over people
You can feel it all over
You can feel it all over people
You can feel it all over
You can feel it all over people
You can feel it all over
I can feel it all over-all over now people
Cant you feel it all over
Come on lets feel it all over people
You can feel it all over
Everybody-all over people

Untitled 15
there is a mountain of words
an ocean of words
a continent of words
there is a rain of words
a flood of words
a river of words and true to their being words
they also disintegrate as syllables
on the other hand some form the clauses
conditions and terms
some make sentences and paragraphs
a world of words full of words
i am not a word and i am buried in a mountain of words
a sea of words i drown
a continent of words i am condemned to walk all the days of my life
too may words my ears do not listen anymore.
my eyes do not like to read anymore.
i like something not having to do with words.
what about a touch? what about a picture?
what about a kiss?
why don't people just make love without saying a word?
let us start touching the hearts of people
to avoid this war of words that lead us to our own perdition.

You Are A Winner
Beloyd taylor
Cha cha cha
When youre feelin that youre movin up
Always someone tries to make you stop
When youre filling up your cup
Someone comes around to spill every drop
When everythings going strong
And someone doesnt like what you do
Theyll try to make you feel youre wrong
Pull the rug from your feet before youre through
And if you follow carefully
The flow of your energy
You will start to see
That you are a winner
Cha cha cha
When youre filling up your cup
Someone comes around to spill every drop
There is no time for wondering
Youre a winner as every day begins
And if you follow carefully
The flow of your energy
You will start to see
That you are a winner
You are a winner
You are a winner

Serious
Oh, woman you make me feel, like Im on fire
Oh, woman you make it real, its the only way for me
So, if we sometimes fight, doesnt mean we got problems
Aint always black and white, who cares anyway?
Ooh - doesnt have to be serious
Ooh - doesnt have to be serious
(serious)
Doesnt have to be serious
Doesnt have to be serious
Oh baby you get so wild, mmm too much understanding
Oh baby youre such a child, put up with all the tears and cryin
Dont worry if youre confused, we all tend to be sometimes
The whole world is getting used, its just the way it is...
Maybe right, oh, but maybe wrong
Doesnt have to be serious, being hard isnt being strong
Doesnt have to be serious, fighting for love, fighting for pain
Ooh doesnt have to be serious, and if you win, oh what do you gain?
Doesnt have to be serious..
-
Ooh, doesnt have to be serious maybe right, ooh, but maybe wrong
Ohh doesnt have to be serious, fighting for love, fighting for pain
Ooh doesnt have to be serious, and if you win, oh what do you gain?
Ooh doesnt have to be serious, maybe right, oh but maybe wrong
Doesnt have to be serious, being hard, isnt being strong
Doesnt have to be serious, fighting for love, fighting for pain
Ohh doesnt have to be serious and if you win...

The Cause
It isnt for the money, no it isnt for the fun
Its a plan, a scam, a diagram
Its for the benefit of everyone
You gotta have a little respect
Subterranean ideals
Traditional neglect
Reflect on how you think it would make you feel
The cause- were just doing it for the cause
No it isnt for the fortune, it isnt for the fame
Its a scheme, a dream, a barterine
We want everyone to think the same
Because you know what you feel is right
And you feel what you cant ignore
And you try so hard to point the blame
Ashamed- what do we do this for?
The cause- were just doing it for the cause (x4)

Doesnt Anymore Hurt Anymore
I turn on the radio and I begin to dial
I do believe without a doubt the whole worlds in denial
Theyre all singing I love you and what a perfect life
Ive been around enough to know,to know that isnt right
Doesnt anyone hurt anymore
Have the teardrops stopped
No ones walking the floor
And the blues dont ever come around
And knock on the door
No angry words are spoken
No hearts broken
Doesnt anyone hurt anymore
Im not a lonely man locked away in a room
Crying for some lost love and cursing out the moon
But I know theres people out there that love has put to shame
Sometimes a song is all they have to help them through the pain
Doesnt anyone hurt anymore
Have the teardrops stopped
No ones walking the floor
And the blues dont ever come around
And knock on the door
No angry words are spoken
No hearts broken
Doesnt anytime hurt anymore

Feel Too Good
Feel too good to go to work today
I need a little more time so I can stay this way
Lets go for a ride on the circle line
Couldnt you use a day in the sunshine
Mustnt let your bank payments get behind
The bills may pile up, I just brush them off my mind
I cant let debt collectors bother me
Because I feel too good
I feel so good that you just cant bring me down
I cant remember when I felt so high
My mind is on vacation and I dont know why
Wouldnt you like to go for a country drive
Doesnt it make you feel good to be alive
Luncheon by the roadside will do just fine
I left the water running
It just must have slipped my mind
Cant let the little things bother me
Because I feel too good
I feel so good that you just cant bring me down
Someones bound to bring you down
Theres a strange speaking man on the front lawn
Making rude noises and gestures
Its just the neighbors got something on his mind
Feel too good
I cant let frenchie start to bother me
Because I feel too good
I feel so good that you just cant bring me down

Your Love Still Brings Me To My Knees
(cook / wood)
Your love still brings me to my knees
From day to day you feel my needs
This flame that burns
Within my heart will never die
Oh, i bless the day you came along
You turned my life into a song
There is no greater love
And there will never be
'cause you're the only one
(your love still brings me to my knees)
Still bring me to my knees
You're the one, you're the one i long to please, oh darling, ah, ha
(your love still brings me to my knees)

Oh, i find each day i love you more
Always the one i'm waiting for
No matter where i go
No matter what i do

(your love still brings me to my knees)
Still brings me to my knees
Ah, you're the one i long to please, oh darling, ooh, aah, ooh
(your love still brings me to my knees)
(your love is killing me)
Now i never knew
What love was all about, yeah
Then you came along
Gave me a reason to stand up and shout, oh i love you
Oh darling
Your love still brings me to my knees
From day to day you feel my needs
There is no greater love
And there will never be
'cause you're the only one
(your love still brings me to my knees)
Still brings me to my knees

I Ain't Got Time Anymore
Got no time to stop to speak to friends passing by
Got no strength to wipe away the tears from my eyes
I don't care what's going on
Only know she's gone
The sun don't shine anymore
And I don't feel fine anymore
She ain't mine anymore
No, I don't feel fine anymore
I Ain't got time anymore
Seems to be such sadness in each place I go
The people laugh and still I just wouldn't know
Never stop to see who's there
Once I used to care
But the sun don't shine anymore
I don't feel fine anymore
She ain't mine anymore
No, I don't feel fine anymore
I Ain't got time anymore
I can't get use to being left on my own
It takes up all the time just trying to be alone
Used to take an interest in the state of affairs
Now I only know how much I'm missing that girl
Hope the world will understand
I can't lend a hand
Cause she ain't mine anymore
I don't feel fine anymore
She ain't mine anymore
No, I don't feel fine anymore
Ain't got time anymore
She ain't mine anymore
I don't feel fine anymore
Ain't got time anymore
She ain't mine anymore
No, I don't feel fine anymore

Man Made The Gun
Man made the gun a sado sexual machine
Its slaughter brings you to your knees
Man made the gun
Who is the person that is holding on
Whats in his mind where is he looking from
Isnt he the one we should be gazing on contemplating on
cos man made the gun
Man shapes the son
Man made the gun
While there is evil in this world
We try to save our boys and girls
Man made the bomb
That doesnt mean that we should turn them on
Or ever yearn him on
cos man made the gun
Man shapes the son
Man made it man made it
