Learning To Swim

I wanna be the fish
I like the way he swims
I bend my arms to fins
Ego scales my skin
I grab a sharp stick
And I cut my gills
The water rushes in...
I'm too young
To live this life
I wanna be the fish
I like the way he swims
I grab a sharp stick
I'm too young to live
Inside this life
They want me to stay
This life I cannot feign
They want me to stay
This life I cannot feign
They want me to stay
This life I cannot feign

Futile is Life if Swapped!

A fish out of its water-bowl!
A Pup within a fishes’-bowl!
–Unnatural are both these things,
And life could end for both earthlings!

Fish-gills are meant for oxygen
Dissolved in water and not air;
Pup’s lungs need air to breathe and live;
It can’t stay long under-water!

Fish-fins help it to move about
In water most effortlessly;
A pup can’t be confined without
the needed space to run and play!

All lives are meant for habitats
Specifically pre-destined;
One cannot live a normal life,
With living conditions exchanged!

God made the land for beasts with lungs
To breathe the oxygen in air;
God made the fish cold-blooded to
Swim freely and feed in water.

God made each being with purpose;
Man cannot fly like birds of air;
Nor can he live within water;
Each one must know his/her confines!

Why risk one’s life to do a thing,
Which is not worth the risks, one takes?
Why play with life – a priceless gift
From God above to all earthlings?

The fool endangers his one life
To do something that is worthless;
Great souls will sacrifice their lives
In saving many more brethren!

Life is most precious wealth on earth;
Spend all our wealth to save our health.

Agoraphobia

Two people touching lips
Hands on each other's hips
Nothing in else in the world but one another
The 42nd floor
On a distant shore
I wonder how we strayed so far from this
Remember when we were
Just flesh and bone you sir
May have forgotten how good your world could be
So, put down your hollow tips
And kiss your lovers lips
And know that fate is what you make of it
Please end this
Before it ends us
I wanna stay inside
I wanna stay inside for good
I wanna stay inside
For good
I read the news today
And everything they say
Just makes me want to stay inside
And a better part of me knows
That waiting in the throws
Is on the par with reading with my eyes closed
"What Can I do?", You say
It's just another day
In the life of Apes with ego trips
Put down your hollow tips
And kiss your lover's lips
And learn that fate is what we make of it
Please end this
Before it ends us
I wanna stay inside
I wanna stay inside for good
I wanna stay inside
For good
I'm gonna stay inside
I'm gonna stay inside for good
I'm gonna stay inside
For Good
I wanna stay inside
I wanna stay inside for good
I wanna stay inside
Don't want to stay inside for good

Baby Stick Around

Come on you people get your dancing shoes on
Reds and yellow and pinks and blues on
Too late, too late
To stay home and sit around
Purple leopard skin and see-through plastic
Whatever you want, but just make it drastic
Too late, too late to stay home and sit around
What you wanna bet
We aint started yet
Baby stick around
Baby stick around
Pushin and shovin and sweat wet leather
Up and down we go chained together
Too late, too late
To stay home and sit around
Somebody tellin me the latest scandals
Somebody steppin on my plastic sandals
Too late, too late
To stay home and sit around
What you wanna bet
We aint started yet
Baby stick around
Baby stick around
Too late, too late
To stay home and sit around
What you wanna bet
We aint started yet
Baby stick around
Baby stick around

18 Til I Die

Wanna be young - the rest of my life
Never say no - try anything twice
Til the angels come - and ask me to fly
Gonna be 18 til I die - 18 til I die
Can't live forever - that's wishful thinkin'
Who ever said that - must of bin' drinkin'
Don't wanna grow up - I don't see why
I couldn't care less if time flies by

Chorus

18 til I die - gonna be 18 til I die
Ya it sure feels good to be alive
Someday I'll be 18 goin' on 55! - 18 til I die

Anyway - I just wanna say
Why bother with what happened yesterday
That's not my style - I live for the minute
If ya wanna stay young - get both feet in it - 18 til I die
A 'lil bit of this - a 'lil bit of that
'Lil bit of everything - get ya right on track
It's not how ya look

Oh Girl (I Wanna Be With You)

Do do do do
Do do do do
Away for a long time but never gone
So many good times that I recall
Forgive me that I've been kind of blind
I've been running away most of my life
Girl, I wanna be with you
It's no one else it's only you
Oh, girl I wanna stay with you
With no one else just with you
I was lost for a long time couldn't find myself
The cry for love was the cry for help
Forgive me that I've been so untrue
The one who saved me's been always you (yeah)
Girl, I wanna be with you
It's no one else it's only you
Oh, girl I wanna stay with you
With no one else just with you
With no one else just with you
Life's been dancin' on a razorblade
I had my share of love and hate
Well,after all I found myself
Cause it's you who makes me live
It's only you who can forgive
Away for a long time but never gone
Sometimes life just takes the long way home
You're still the one I'm dreamin' of
Cause when your heart is talkin' you know it's love
Oh, girl, I wanna be with you
It's no one else it's only you
Oh, girl I wanna stay with you
With no one else just with you
Oh, girl, I wanna be with you
It's no one else it's only you
Oh, girl I wanna stay with you
With no one else just with you
With no one else just with you

My Mama Said

Tried to sneak out without saying
With my loudest record playing
Ooh, my mama said, look at this, you havent done your bed
My mama said, thats a thing that you should do instead
Then I did what she had told me
Dying for my friend to hold me
Ooh, my mama said, try and get one thing into your head
My mama said, pa and me, we give you room and bed
How I wanna live my life
Wanna live my life
La-la-la, la-la-la, life
In the morning she said listen
Ooh, I felt like in a prison
Yeah, my mama said, i know youve been out again with fred
(my mama said)
My mama said, dont you lie, your cheeks are blushing red
(my mama said)
Oh I wanna live my life
Wanna live my life
La-la-la, la-la-la, life
I said I can live without him
How I wish you wouldnt doubt him
Ooh, my mama said, if you want to hurt me go ahead
(my mama said)
My mama said, i suppose youd rather see me dead
(my mama said)
Oh I wanna live my life
Wanna live my life
La-la-la, la-la-la, life
La-la-la, la-la-la, life
La-la-la, la-la-la, life
La-la-la, la-la-la, life

This Is Life

this is life
the hard life
the life we live
the life we give

the pain, the gain
a little bit of fame
we live free and die young
sex is not always the key
to a dream

take a lesson from me
stay young stay free
do you, and i am gone do me

Liberty

(if you wanna stay with me, at your liberty
If you wanna be with me, at your liberty)
-
(ahh, ohh, do-doo)
Ill tell you something,
To let you understand the way I feel, just what you mean to me
Thank you for fine times, we nearly made it all -
The way we know, it wasnt meant to be.
You say we feel the same, there aint no blame.. to decide
But if a little time, could change your mind, Ill be here..
And you can call me (if you wanna stay with me) at your liberty.
You can hold me (if you wanna be with me) at your liberty.
(do you, do you)
Do you remember, how lovers right for summers - even nights,
Would never seem to end,
And as december, comes stirring with that finger of desire
To feel it once again
You worry bout youre friends, what if they find whats going on?
But if you want to try to make it come alive, Ill be here..
And you can call me (you wanna stay with me) at your liberty.
You can hold me (you wanna be with me) at your liberty.
And you can call me (you wanna stay with me) at your liberty.
And you can touch me girl (you wanna run to me) at your liberty.
Help me out!
I live in doubt
Sort me out, yeaaaahhhhhhh....
-
Dont make it every night, dont wanna be the love of your life
So if you are inclined to spend a little time, Ill be here..
And you can call me (if you wanna stay with me) at your liberty.
You can hold me (if you wanna be with me) at your liberty.
And you can call me (if you wanna stay with me) at your liberty.
And you can touch me girl (if you wanna run to me) at your liberty.
Touch me girl, (if you wanna stay with me) at your liberty.
Help me out, (if you wanna be with me) at your liberty.
Sort me out, (if you wanna run to me), at your liberty.
Or you can set me free (if you wanna run to me), at your liberty.
(if you wanna stay with me, at your liberty).
(if you wanna be with me, at your liberty).
(if you wanna stay with me, at your liberty).
(if you wanna run to me, at your liberty).
At your liberty...

Swimming With The River's Rage

when the meaning of water
ceases to be fluid
one fish swims with the rage of the river
looking for sharp stones
to tear off its fins
looking for a crazy fisherman
to catch it
hook, like and sinker

She and Drugs

Freshly spawned,
Brain dumps
Bleeding grey:

Reflections of a mind
That wavers thin
Along the line
That savours pain -

A pond of skin
Devoid of breast -
The pad a feign:
The nothing
Underneath your bra
At best
Is your imagination

Spread across a narcoleptic world
Suchlike survival
In and out
Of haunted woods;
In and out -
You're in and out
As blood transfused -
Pumping on
To ooze at pace
Upon another haemorrhage

And there! a goblin
Here! a goblin
Care to entertain a goblin
In the lair
That is a mind
Of drugs? -

We know it's you -
It's you we know.

We know you're through.

On The Line

I was drivin along at the end of the day
I was weary and so all alone
Looking ahead by the side of the road
What I saw was the sign telephone
*talking to you is something I need
More than I needed before
If I ever get through wont you give me the time
Wont you answer my call, wont you stay on the line
Its a moment of truth then a shadow of doubt
Now I need you to stay on the line
Its never as bad when were talkin it out
Now I need you to stay on the line
(repeat *)
Answer my call, wont you stay on the line
I believe I have a right to say
What I wanna say
And I believe it but Im keeping it to myself
I believe I have a right to do
What I wanna do
**all of my life, all of my life
All of my life, all of my life
I believe I have a right to be
Where I wanna be
I believe it and I wanna be there with you
I believe I have a right to see
Who I wanna see
(repeat ** 2 times)

I Dont Wanna Live Without Your Love

Thought it wouldnt matter
If we didnt stay together,
And if it was over,
Maybe it was for the better.
I was thinking Id be alright,
til I thought it all through.
Now I know that I aint really living
If I have to live without you.
I dont wanna live without your love,
I dont wanna face the night alone.
I could never make it through my life
If I had to make it on my own.
I dont wanna love nobody else,
I dont wanna find somebody new.
I dont wanna live without your love,
I just wanna live my life with you.
Guess I had to go away,
So much I had to go through.
Guess I had to lose you
To realize how much I love you.
Can we make the fire burn again,
Burn a little stronger?
cause Ive been alone, and baby,
I cant be alone now any longer.
I dont wanna live without your love,
I dont wanna face the night alone.
I could never make it through my life
If I had to make it on my own.
I dont wanna love nobody else,
I dont wanna find somebody new.
I dont wanna live without your love,
I just wanna live my life with you.
Oh, if I had to make it on my own,
My life would never be the same,
My love would never be the same.
I dont wanna live without your love.

Only The Young

I havent listened to a word youve said
Ive been wandering inside my head
Dont care what you think of me
You only see what you want to see
So here I am in my paradise
In my heaven everything is alright
Only the young stay young I said
Speaks the kid inside my head
Only the young stay young inside
Only the young - only the young
Only the young - only the young
Ive been around for a long time
Losing my way but not my mind
So I drink and play you along
But who cares when the fire burns on
So Im out here in my paradise
Its my heaven and it feels so right
Only the young stay young I said
Speaks the kid inside my head
Only the young stay young inside
Only the young stay young I said
Speaks the kid inside my head
Only the young stay young at heart
Only the young - only the young
Only the young - only the young
Live your life - in this time
Weve only today - drink lifes wine
Dont be fooled
Dont believe what they say
Dont believe what they say
I havent listened to a word youve said
Say what you like
Youre not in my head
Time goes with each breath we take
It rules the world the day we awake
So here I sit here in my paradise
Dont give a damn everything is alright

It's A Beautiful Life

You can do what you want
Just seize the day
What you're doing tomorrow's
Gonna come your way.
Don't you ever consider giving up,
You will find, oooh
It's a beautiful life, oooh
It's a beautiful life, oooh
It's a beautiful life, oooh.
I just wanna be here beside you
And stay until the break of dawn
Take a walk in the park
When you feel down.
There's so many things there
That's gonna lift you up
See the nature in bloom a laughing child
Such a dream, oooh
It's a beautiful life, oooh
It's a beautiful life, oooh
It's a beautiful life, oooh.
I just wanna be here beside you
I just wanna be here beside you
And stay until the break of dawn
You're looking for somewhere to belong.
You're standing all alone
For someone to guide you on your way
Now and forever
It's a beautiful life, oooh
It's a beautiful life, oooh
It's a beautiful life, oooh.
I just wanna be anybody
We're living in different ways
It's a beautiful life
I'm gonna take you to a place
I've never been before, o yeah
It's a beautiful life
I'm gonna take you in my arms
And fly away with you tonight
It's a beautiful life, oooh...

She Is There

i see some bamboo poles

lining up

on the shallow sea

she is there

watching some fishes without fins

without scales

she is there on some exclamations

this cannot be!

this cannot be!

the fish i know have fins!

the fish i know have scales all over their elongated bodies!

the fish i know can swim!

why are these fishes dying?

why are these fishes swimless in the sea where they belong?

yes my dear, the fishes and the sea, you do not belong there

the fishes are not yours and you do not belong to them

they have their own salty, slimy, scaly world,

they have gills and fins and round eyes

that do not blink

so you cannot tell them what to do, what to become.

in fact, you are neither fish nor fowl

Young Heroes

Written by ricky & marty wilde
Everyone round keeps putting us down, let it go
It's the same old play in a grown up day
It's a stinging sensation
Hanging round on every corner
Where, all the young kids i know want to be
We only wanna stay young, we only wanna be free
He doesn't wanna be you, she doesn't wanna be me
We're all young heroes
We're all young heroes
Shouted down pushed and we're gettin' real bushed
Just have your say and we'll do it your way
If it makes you fell better
Nothing much to add to what i say
'cause i know just how it fells to be
We only wanna stay young, we only wanna be free
He doesn't wanna be you, she doesn't wanna be me
We're all young heroes
We're all young heroes
We only wanna be free

I Want To Know You For A Long Time

F-ing short the loving lasts
I cant mix the future with the past
Can I stay close to you
I wanna stay close to you
Youve got yours and Ive got mine
And what we have in so hard to define
Just take a look at your life line
Youve got a lot to shine
Lets say baby,
I wanna know you for a long long time
Ooh baby
I wanna know you for a long long time
Oh darling, lady friend
Well see each other when its time to show
Just for a minute or for a year
But then again, dont you and I know
A time between our time together
It doesnt exist, it grows old forever
Just take a look at your life line
Ob baby, youve got a lot to shine
I know it baby,
I wanna know you for a long long time
Ob and baby,
I wanna know you for a long long time
I wanna know baby, I wanna know baby
Oh youve got a lot to live girl
So I wanna know you for a long long time
I wanna know, I wanna know,
I wanna know baby
So much to live for girl,
So much to live for girl
So I wanna know you baby
Wanna know you for a long long time.

Land Of The Living

Well, its up in the mornin
Everybody off and runnin
Everybody got some place to be
Some people never go walkin
Some people just stop talkin
And I was slippin away
You came and pulled me through
I wanna stay in the land of the living with you
I wanna stay in the land of the living
I wanna stay here with you
I wanna stay in the land of the living
I wanna stay here with you
We work and we worry
This old worlds in such a hurry
So many things we just dont see
Some people always cryin
Some people just stop tryin
And I was slippin away
You came and pulled me through
I wanna stay in the land of the living with you
We hot to do what we can
About all this pain and sorrow
But try to live just a little
We could all be gone tomorrow
When I look at you girl, me heart rejoices
You taught me somethin:
Considering the choices-
I wanna stay in the land of the living
I wanna stay here with you
I wanna stay in the land of the living
I wanna stay here with you
