Childhoods End
I lived a life of illusion and you had your kicks
So what, theres nothing left to do
And you and your obsessions and your crucifix
As if what I thought mattered much to you
(chorus)
And you were always my friend from childhoods end
It was forever and ever
Did you understand
Its childhoods end
But never, the dream is over
Sunday morning in the new york times
I read you died last night
It said you were smilin when you blew your mind
And the note you left behind said:
You were always my friend from childhoods end
Seems like forever and ever
Yeah, you wont have to have to pretend
Its near the end
You wont ever be a rock and roller
Yeah, you were always my friend from childhoods end
But never, the dream is over
You were just like me
I was just like you
For eternity Ill think of you
(repeat choruses, overlapping, fade out)
Youve got something about you,
Youve got something I need...)

Childhoods End?
(fish / marillion)
And it was morning
And I found myself mourning, for a childhood that I thought had disappeared
I looked out the window
And I saw a magpie in the rainbow, the rain had gone Im not alone
I turned to the mirror, I saw you, the child, that once loved
The child before they broke his heart
Our heart, the heart that I believed was lost
Hey you, surprised?
More than surprised, to find the answers to the questions, were always in your own eyes
Do you realize that you give it on back to her?
But that would only be retraced in all the problems that you ever knew
So untrue
For shes got to carry on with her life, and youve got to carry on with yours
So I see its me, I can do anything
And Im still the child
cos the only thing misplaced was direction
And I found direction
There is no childhoods end
There is no childhoods end
Cos you are my childhood friend
Cos you are my childhood friend
Oh lead me on
Hey you, youve survived
Now youve arrived, to be reborn in the shadow of the magpie
Now you realize, that youve got to get out of here
Youve found the leading light of destiny, burning in the ashes of your memory
You want to change the world
Youd resigned yourself to die a broken rebel
But that was looking backward
Now youve found the light
You, the child that once loved
The child before they broke his heart
Our heart, the heart that I believed was lost
So its me I see, I can do anything
Im still the child
cos the only thing misplaced was direction, and I found direction
There is no childhoods end
There is no childhoods end
There is no childhoods end
I am your childhood friend
Oh, lead me on

A Friend
Some say that friendships should be a lifetime thing,
The time that turns the season builds trust and gives us strength
A friends a friend forever, until the end of time
Through the good and the bad, a friend will be by your side
CHORUS
If youre looking for a friend
Youve found a friend in me
Not just for tomorrow
But throughout eternity
If youre looking for a friend
You can always count on me
Not just for the moment
But for all eternity
A friend is one who listens, always there for you
A yes when theres a no, a dont when they say do
Someone wholl forgive you, and never turn away
Arms of love that wont let go when you are afraid
CHORUS
If the sun doesnt ride tomorrow
And the word never turns again
My heart will never feel sorrow
For I know that always the Lord is there
If youre looking for a friend
Youve found a friend in me
I will be your friend
Till eternity

Jumper
I wish you would step back from that ledge my friend
You could cut ties with all the lies that youve been living in
And if you do not want to see me again I would understand
I would understand
The angry boy a bit too insane
Icing over a secret pain
You know you dont belong
Youre the first to fight
Youre way too loud
Youre the flash of light on a burial shroud
I know somethings wrong
Well everyone I know has got a reason
To say put the past away
I wish you would step back from that ledge my friend
You could cut ties with all the lies that youve been living in
And if you do not want to see me again I would understand
I would understand
Well hes on the table and hes gone to code
And I do not think anyone knows
What theyre doing here
And your friends have left you
Youve been dismissed
I never thought it would come to this
And i, I want you to know
Everyones got to face down the demons
Maybe today
You could put the past away
I wish you would step back from that ledge my friend
You could cut ties with all the lies that youve been living in
And if you do not want to see me again I would understand
I would understand
I would understand
I would understand
I would understand
I would understand
Understand
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Can you put the past away
I wish you would step back from that ledge my friend
I would understand
I wish you would step back from that ledge my friend
I would understand
I wish you would step back from that ledge my friend
And I would understand
I wish you would step back from that ledge my friend
I would understand
I wish you would step back from that ledge my friend
I would understand

Look What Youve Done
I can borrow, if youve got the time
I never needed anybodys help to make up my mind
You wont be here long
Enough to stand out
Youre on fi fi fire till everybody finds out
Look what youve done, done to my head
Look what youve done, look what youve done
Done to my head, youve got me thinking
Maybe I will and maybe I wont
Maybe I cant but God only knows
I wont be the puppet strings you hold on
Come tomorrow, its a sign of the times
Its coming down now
Shelter wont save you my friend
So sit dow till you learn
And sit down till you grow
You mi mi mi might turn if youd only let yourself go
Look what youve done, done to my head
Look what youve done, look what youve done
Done to my head,
Maybe I will and maybe I wont
Maybe I cant but God only knows
I wont be the puppet strings you hold on
I see you depend over and over on logic
I cant understand
Who kept you floating, my friend?
Kept your head above water
Rough seas hit you harder
I should have just let you drown
Maybe I will and maybe I wont
Maybe I cant, but God only knows
I wont be the puppet strings you hold on

A childhood forgotten, A childhood lost
[NOTE: THIS POEM IS NOT TO BE USED ANYWHERE WITHOUT MY CONCENT. PLEASE USE THE LINKS IN MY BIOGRAPHY OR MESSAGES ON THIS SITE TO CONTACT ME. THANKS.]
I can't remember,
Skipping rocks on the pond,
My childhoods forgotten,
My Childhoods lost,
Going to the lake,
Sitting on the beach,
Playing with friends,
or dancing in the streets,
I can't remember,
The crash in the fog,
My childhood was forgotten,
My childhood was lost,
The doctor doing surgery,
Me getting pills,
I can't remember any of it,
None of it's clear,
I still can't remember,
How it is gone,
My childhood forgotten,
My childhood's lost!
Well I'm gonna end it right now,
I gonna kill myself off,
A childhood Forgotten,
A childhood lost

Friends
In our childhoods days
Together we would play
People said we were inseparable
Like a brother then
My protective friend
He would always take good care of me
Friends thats what we are just
Friends no more or less oh
Here we are sharing so much fun
Friends why cant he see that I want him
To be more than my friend
Years have come and gone
Still our friendships strong
Now hes more than just the boy next door
Im in love with him
Guess Ive always been
He doesnt know hes all Im living for
Friends thats all we are just
Friends so near yet so far from love
And oh the joy that he can bring
Friends why cant he see that I want him
To be more than my friend
Id like to tell him that I need him bad
But Im afraid if I do I might lose
The only friend that I have
Friends thats all we are just
Friends so near yet so far from love and thus
Well always remain friends
Friends why cant he see that I want us
To be more than just friends

Youve Got A Friend
When youre down and troubled
And you need a helping hand
And nothing, whoa nothing is going right.
Close your eyes and think of me
And soon I will be there
To brighten up even your darkest nights.
You just call out my name,
And you know whereever I am
Ill come running, oh yeah baby
To see you again.
Winter, spring, summer, or fall,
All you have to do is call
And Ill be there, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Youve got a friend.
If the sky above you
Should turn dark and full of clouds
And that old north wind should begin to blow
Keep your head together and call my name out loud
And soon I will be knocking upon your door.
You just call out my name and you know where ever I am
Ill come running to see you again.
Winter, spring, summer or fall
All you got to do is call
And Ill be there, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Hey, aint it good to know that youve got a friend?
People can be so cold.
Theyll hurt you and desert you.
Well theyll take your soul if you let them.
Oh yeah, but dont you let them.
You just call out my name and you know wherever I am
Ill come running to see you again.
Oh babe, dont you know that,
Winter spring summer or fall,
Hey now, all youve got to do is call.
Lord, Ill be there, yes I will.
Youve got a friend.
Youve got a friend.
Aint it good to know youve got a friend.

Forever
Now, while were here alone
And all is said and done
Now I can let you know
Because of all youve shown
Ive grown enough to tell you
Youll always be inside of me
How many roads have gone by
So many words left unspoken
I needed to be by your side
If only to hold you
Chorus:
Forever in my heart
Forever we will be
And even when Im gone
Youll be here in me
Forever
Once, I dreamed that you were gone
I cried out trying to find you
I begged the dream to fade away
And please awaken me
But night took a hold of my heart
And left me with no one to follow
The love that I lost to the dark
Ill always remember
Forever in my heart
Forever we will be
And know that when Im gone
Youll be here in me
Forever in my heart
You always thought Id be
Id be yours
Forever....

Deep In My Heart
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Oh, oh, I want you for the rest of my life,
Oh yeah
Walking through time looking for an answer
How can it be this way
What have I done, I just cant help but wonder
How everything could change
cause youve turned my world around
Pre chorus: since you came along, no
After this love was found
It seems like we cant go wrong
Chorus: deep in my heart I know theres only you
And right from the start I always knew
Ill never let go cause I love ya so
Oh-oh, I want you for the rest of my life
Some people search what seems to be a lifetime
To find a love like this, oh yeah
And here we are with everything weve wished for
Ive never felt such bliss

There comes a chance in everyones life
And I believe it wont happen twice
Now since I felt the glory of love
I wish to spend forever and ever with you

On My Way
I am on my way, yeahhhh
Rain wont catch you and the wind wont blow
Where youre blowing no one knows it
Its all right now
Clouds are forming in the neon sky
You wonder how, you wonder why
I, I am on my way
If we knew the end what we started all
See the pride before the falling
Its over now
You cant break up what you cant break down
Life can sometimes spin you around
And I am on my way, I am on my way
cause my priority is no more you and me
The world will always turn beneath our feet, yeah
My philosophy is overtaking me
Theres nothing left to say
Theres nothing left to see
Theres a hole in your heart
When the rain gets in
So, you pull up your collar and you start again
And, I am on my way
I am on my way
My philosophy is overtaking me
Theres nothing left to say
Theres nothing left to see
You watch her leaving on the evening train
You know she wont be back again
And its all right now
There is no right
There is no wrong
You live your life keep moving on
And, I am on my way
I am on my way [3 times]
I am on my way, yeah [3 times]
I am on may way, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I am on my way, yeah [2 times]

We have to understand how the extremists got the way they are. Without that kind of understanding, we'd never really get to know them. I put in nothing about their childhoods. But what I have put in is stuff about the weird symbiotic relationship between us and them.

Fire Rain
Just yesterday morning
They let me know you were gone
Susan the plans they made
Put an end to you
I walked out this morning
And I wrote this song
I just cant remember
Who to send it to
Chorus:
Ive seen fire and Ive seen rain
Ive seen sunny days
That I thought would never end
Ive seen lonely times
When I could not find a friend
But I always thought that Id see you again
Wont you look down upon me, jesus
Youve got to help me make a stand
Youve just got to see me through another day
My bodys aching and my time is at hand
And I wont make it any other way
Chorus
Been walking my mind to an easy time
My back turned towards the sun
Lord knows when the cold wind blows
Itll turn you head around
Well theres hours of time on the telephone line
To talk about things to come
Sweet dreams and flying machines in pieces on the ground

(where I can feel alive)
Seems like my drama, it wont ever cease

Now its time to find my inner peace

This will be my night
I will get up on this floor
And lose whats left of my mind
Let the rhythm take control

Cuz I know you wanna do it so
When you hear the groove
Youve gotta know
That its time to make your move
Just step on up now

Cross To Bear
You ran away with your conscience dear
There was a red flag waving in my ear saying
stay away youve got something to fear
Well why did I not choose to hear
Well I am through with suffering
Gonna make better choices I dont need no wedding ring
I can sing I can dance
But I cant make thus feeling cease
Cause deep in my soul you left a permanent crease and
We all got our cross to bear
Our star of david our dreadlocked hair
And oh yeah baby I still care
And if you need some help
You know Ill always be there
Well its been a strange year
Youve been a very bad dog
As my fire went out
Youd put on another log
But it was worth never having any peace
And deep in my soul you left a permanent crease and
Repeat chorus
Some nights I thought Id cry forever
Id wish him away and then Id turn into a beggar
But it was worth always scraping my knees
And deep in my soul you left a permanent crease
I wear my heart like a wrinkle on my sleeve
And Ive got the aching love that only you can relieve
But Im not afraid to go down with a sinking friend
Im gonna live out my dreams even if they kill me in the end

Yes, Ive read the morning papers
Telling me that youve made money
Do you think Im gonna crawl, then think again
Though Im dressed in rags, Im richer
Though I eat from tins, Im healthier
Though I live in slums, Im purer than you, my friend
Too bad, Im not losing sleep
[too bad] Im just counting sheep
[too bad] Im not losing sleep, my friend
Look around and see the friends
The ones you left, our friends deserted
See the guys that used to talk and drink with you
Dont look down your nose at me
cause I wont ask your sympathy
I wont be your yes-sir man for anything
Too bad, Im not losing sleep

Talk with you, drink with you
If you drop that halo that youre wearing on the ground
Too bad, Im not losing sleep

[too bad] Im not losing sleep, my friend
I cant get my satisfaction
Knowing you wont get reaction
What makes me the big attraction anyway
Its too bad, Im not losing sleep
