Used to be that I could see a reason to be happy cause I was free
But then, recently it seems Ive been lettin your memry get to me
Used to be that I could pretend that I wasnt really hurt back then
But then, recently it seems Ive been lettin your memry get to me
Cause Memries can be friends or they can take you to a place
that you never thought youd be again
And take you to a place that you never ever thought that you would see again.
Memries can be friends or they can take you to a place
that you never thought youd be again
And take you to a place that you never ever thought that you would see again.
Doesnt matter now who was wrong
The future is tomorrow cause the past is gone
And Im Findin that Im not as strong as I thought that I used to be
Cause recently it seems Ive been let-tin your memry geet to me.

Some Other Place, Some Other Time
Words and music by jeff cook
I remember walking through flowers in a garden of a memry Im thinkin of.
I remember being in heaven, some other place, someother time, some other love.
I remember walking on silver sand with a mid summer moon shining above.
And I remember the taste of her sweet lips, some other place, some other
Time, some other love.
I remember holding her close to me.
And I can picture the nights we shared alone.
When Im dreaming, it all seems so real to me.
Then I wake up and find its all done.
Tomorrow I may be holding another girl, but tonight shes not the one Im thinkin of.
Could it be my life would just be a memry of some other place, some other
Time, some other love; of some other place, some other time, some other love;
Of some other place, some other time, some other love?

The Curse
She cursed me because I dumped her
Now misfortunes are chasing me
Like a shadow!
She loved me more than I thought
But I didn’t realize it until recently!
She was so lovely and innocent
So it hurt her more than anything!
She was willing to give me
Everything she had
But I couldn’t figure it out!
She did everything she could
To maintain our relationship
But her parents made me angry!
Now only one thought haunts my brain
How can I compensate her
To make myself happy!

This Wheels On Fire
If your memry serves you well,
We were goin to meet again and wait,
So Im goin to unpack all my things
And sit before it gets too late.
No man alive will come to you
With another tale to tell,
But you know that we shall meet again
If your memry serves you well.
This wheels on fire,
Rolling down the road,
Best notify my next of kin,
This wheel shall explode!
If your memry serves you well,
I was goin to confiscate your lace,
And wrap it up in a sailors knot
And hide it in your case.
If I knew for sure that it was yours . . .
But it was oh so hard to tell.
But you knew that we would meet again,
If your memry serves you well.
This wheels on fire,
Rolling down the road,
Best notify my next of kin,
This wheel shall explode!
If your memry serves you well,
Youll remember youre the one
That called on me to call on them
To get you your favors done.
And after evry plan had failed
And there was nothing more to tell,
You knew that we would meet again,
If your memry served you well.
This wheels on fire,
Rolling down the road,
Best notify my next of kin,
This wheel shall explode

Any Volunteers?
I awakened recently,
With this thought as my reality.
What I've done with a doing to do,
To accomplish as my interpretation...
Of success with a job well done,
Needs not to be repeated with consistency.
Not by me to achieve to prove my stamina.
And if those standing on the sidelines,
Believe I have not done enough...
They can take my place on the stage,
To be scrutinized...
With a critiquing I have welcomed from them,
For years.
To discover such ease of it I've experienced.
Any volunteers?
What about those naysayers in the back row?

Whatd Ya Do
A koo koo koo I dont care about you no more
A koo koo koo I dont care about you no more
You used to make me happy but whatd ya do?
You better go now I think you better go now, baby
I dont want you hanging around my door
No, I dont wanna see you your face no more, yeah
You used to make me the happiest guy in this world
I thought we made a bargain I thought we made a deal
I thought it was the two of us I thought thats maybe how youd feel
I thought wed last forever I thought we had a plan
I thought it was the two of us I thought maybe that youd understand
You used to make me happy but whatd ya do

I Still Love You
I was with you, you were alone
Now Im standing here
Wisdom came only after youd gone
Now Im starting all over, with a tear in my eye
I just never thought youd disappear
In the night your spirit arises
With it comes the pain
I hope Im dreaming cus it hurts so bad
When I reach out for you, Im alone in some room
I just never thought youd disappear
I still love you like a child
Wasnt that good enough?
I still want you, it drive me wild
The pain is just too much
Maybe Ive lost enough
Time heals all, so they say, I dont know
Sometimes nothings clear
Maybe someday Ill understand
But I know for a start
Theres a place in my hear that is yours
And it wont disappear
I still love you like a child
Wasnt that good enough?
I still want you, it drives me wild
The pain is just too much
I still love you

If I Ever Thought Youd Be Lonely
Hold a candle to a naked flame
Ask the atheist his christian name
Try parachuting from a burning plane
Finding someone else you could blame
If I ever thought youd be lonely
If I ever thought youd be there
If I ever fought the alimony
Painted pony
Youd be there
Eskimo heart
Bedouin throat
A butcher trussed up in a camel hair coat
A crowning in the castle
A drowning in the moat
Ocean dried,
Desert afloat
If I ever thought youd be lonely
If I ever thought youd be there
If I ever fought the alimony
My one and only
Youd be there
One for the lady,
One for the gent
Signatures in wet cement,
And if you ever ask,
What I meant then Id never know,
Then Id never know...

Rudy
Rudys on a train to nowhere, halfway down the line
He dont wanna get there, but he needs time
He aint sophisticated, nor well-educated
After all the hours he wasted, still he needs time.
He needs time - he needs time for livin,
He needs time - for someone just to see him.
He aint haid no lovin
For no reason or rhyme
And the whole worlds above him.
Well its not as though hes fat-
No theres more to this than that-
See he tries to play it cool-
Wouldnt be nobody fool.
Rudy thought that all good things comes to those that wait
But recently he could see that it may come too late.
All through your life, all through the years
Nobody loved, nobody cared.
So dim the light, dark are your fears
Try as I might, I cant hold back the tears
How can you live without love, its not fair?
Someone said give but I just didnt dare.
What good advice are you waiting to hear?
Hearings alright for them thats all there
Youd better gain control now
Youd better showem all now
Youd better make or break now
Youd better give and take now
Youll have to push and shove now
Youll have to find some love now
Youd better gain control now.
Now hes just come out the movie.
Numb of all the pain,
Sad but in a while hell soon be
Back on his train...

Don't Give Up
Don't Give Up" by Peter Gabriel with KaTe Bush
In this proud land we grew up strong
We were wanted all along
I was taught to fight, taught to win
I never thought I could fail
No fight left or so it seems
I am a man whose dreams have all deserted
I've changed my face, I've changed my name
But no-one wants you when you lose
Don't give up
'cos you have friends
Don't give up
You're not beaten yet
Don't give up
I know you can make it good
Though I saw it all around
Never thought that I could be affected
Thought that we'd be last to go
It is so strange the way things turn
Drove the night toward my home
The place that I was born, on the lakeside
As daylight broke, I saw the earth
The trees had burned down to the ground
Don't give up
You still have us
Don't give up
We don't need much of anything
Don't give up
'cause somewhere there's a place
Where we belong
Rest your head
You worry too much
It's going to be alright
When times get rough
You can fall back on us
Don't give up
Please don't give up
Got to walk out of here
I can't take any more
Going to stand on that bridge
Keep my eyes down below
Whatever may come
And whatever may go
That river's flowing
That river's flowing
Moved on to another town
Tried hard to settle down
For every job, so many men
So many men no-one needs
Don't give up
'cause you have friends
Don't give up
You're not the only one
Don't give up
No reason to be ashamed
Don't give up
You still have us
Don't give up now
We're proud of who you are
Don't give up
You know its never been easy
Don't give up
'cause I believe there's a place
There's a place where we belong

Living life
Never thought that I would get to this day
Dreaming of the water on my face... the summer breeze took my breathe away.
Sitting here looking at my destiny....... Don't let the water take control of me.....
NEver thought that I let someone get so close to me.
I feel the warm sun on my face, never thought I ever get to this place.
Bronzed from the sun. do you feel my soul? Lost from the music in makes me whole......
I am at that special place, where the sun shines and palms shake...
Walking across the sand and my heart aches....... I look into my soul and I see the it has no end..... The beauty of the ocean is where I stand..
I never thought I would get to this place, never thought I let someone get close to me..........
take me away to that special place

On The Street
I saw you walking down the street with him
You know I almost couldve died
I didnt know you had a second friend
I never thought you woulda lied
I guess somebody else has knocked upon your door
See somebody elses socks lying on your floor
And I saw you on street with him
You know I almost coulda died
I never said that I was all that choice
I never said I was a dream
I didnt think youd pull that second voice
It seems a little too cheap
I see somebody elses smile cut across your face
I see somebody else has taken you some other place
Yeah I saw you on the street with him
You know I really coulda died
I didnt know you had another man, I didnt know,
I thought I was in
I didnt know you had another plan, I didnt know
I thought I was in on the action
I thought I was ace in the hole
But I guess I was wrong
I see somebody elses smile cut across your face
I see somebody else has taken you some other place
Yeah I saw you on the street with him
You know I really coulda died
I didnt know you had another man, I didnt know,
I thought I was in
I didnt know you had another plan, I didnt know
I thought I was in on the action
I thought I was ace in the hole
But I guess I was wrong

Sail Away
By dickey betts
(c) 1979 emi blackwood music inc.
Sunset colors, all across the bay.
Finds me here alone at the end of one more day.
Skipping stones across the water.
Wonder why I ever thought youd stay.
Palm trees sway in the evening breeze.
Sing a lullabye of sweet love to me.
Sailboat, sail away into the amber sky.
And I wonder why I ever thought youd stay.
Sail on, sail away.
May all your dreams come true one day.
Sail on, sail away.
I wonder why I ever thought youd stay.
Sail on, sail away.
May all your dreams come true one day.
Sail on, sail away.
I wonder why I ever thought youd stay.
I wonder why I ever thought youd stay.
Sail on, sail away.
Sail on, sail away.
Sail on, sail away.
Sail on, sail away.

I read some of my stories recently and thought, 'How in the hell did I get away with that?' I had some really raw cynicism in some of them.

Shattered Dreams
So much for your promises
They died the day you let me go
Caught up in a web of lies
But it was just too late to know
I thought it was you
Who would stand by my side
And now youve given me, given me
Nothing but shattered dreams, shattered dreams
Feel like I could run away, run away
From this empty heart
You said youd die for me
Woke up to reality
And found the future not so bright
I dreamt the impossible
That maybe things could work out right
I thought it was you
Who would do me no wrong
(chorus)
From this empty heart
I thought it was you who youd die for love
(chorus)
Oh no no no - you said youd die for me
Oh oh, oh oh, die for me
So much for your promises

Running Away
I ran away from my home.
To the place where I was never born.
Never seen the place.
Never been there.
I put my first step there.
Initially, I was scared.
But later on I was able to overcome my fear.
I don't know whether I am right or wrong.
It does not matter now.It's all gone.
I don't know what I was thinking
But right now my time is wasting.
I should have thought not to go away.
But right now I am far away.
I thought running away was good idea.
Now, it's bad idea.

Poles Apart
Did you know...it was all going to go so wrong for you
And did you see it was all going to be so right for me
Why did we tell you then
You were always the golden boy then
And that youd never lose that light in your eyes
Hey you...did you ever realise what youd become
And did you see that it wasnt only me you were running from
Did you know all the time but it never bothered you anyway
Leading the blind while I stared out the steel in your eyes
The rain fell slow, down on all the roofs of uncertainty
I thought of you and the years and all the sadness fell away from me
And did you know...
I never thought that youd lose that light in your eyes

Didnt I
Well I thought I could make you cry
Oh didnt i?
I didnt think that I would miss you
Ah did you, did you true?
And I told you before
When you walked out that door
That I wouldnt love you any more
I cannot cope any more
Well I thought youd never lie
Why didnt i?
I didnt think that youd be untrue
Well did you, did you too?
And Ive told you before
When youd walk out that door
That I would no cope any more
I do not have you any more
I thought I could make you cry
And I tried now didnt i?
I didnt think that I would miss you
But it wasnt true, I do
And I told you before
A million times or more
That when youd walk out that door
I would no love you any more
I do not love you any more
I lied now didnt i?
Oh didnt i?
There are people in this town
That say I dont give a damn
But the people in this town
They never could understand
Oh they never could understand
I thought I could make you cry
And I tried, now didnt i? didnt I try, didnt i?
I didnt think that I would miss you
But it wasnt true, I do, I do
And I told you before
That youd open up my sores
And youd leave me here with scars
I cannot take it any more
Oh dont hurt me no more
I cried and I cried, now didnt i?
Why didnt I try? why didnt i?

x21-Escape
-Jane Spencers
Why still cry? I chose to die,
I should have smiles tonight.
This place is none for bitter lies,
I thought i chose what's right.
I thought that death is an escape
from pain and all my fears.
I thought that death is all but peace,
but here, peace never cares.
I thought that pain would die with me,
that tears have no place here.
But pain endures...and tears endure;
eternal may they be?
I dreamed, i thought...i always thought
that death could set me free.
I wish I could just die again,
or lose my memory.
Are souls eternal? Is this my fate?
I hunger so for life.
Am I forever bound by death?
I thought it's my escape.
