Over The Counter Culture
Over the counterculture,
Well that's right where you belong,
You try to sever your ties with the London skies,
But you've got the whole thing wrong.
You try to be so different,
As does everybody else,
Create your own distinctions,
And flaunt them for yourself.
Over the counterculture
With your cards and catalogues,
The mainstream wipes the riverbed clean,
You're just wrong, you're just.... wrong
You think you followed your heart again,
Now it's in to be out,
Destroy the plans and just start again,
Don't pretend to not pretend at all.
Over the counterculture,
Well you live your life in waves,
Last years dream was a terrible scheme,
And this new fad will fade.
Let's see... what can we be now?
That hasn't been done before?
Shut your eyes,
Look inside.

My Loss
Watching as you drive away
Speed away so fast
Knowing something's different now
That ending was our last
Nothing describes the emptiness filled inside
Take me to that place
Where everything's fine
And not a worry in mind
Sweeter to the taste
This is my loss (my loss)
I did it wrong and i'd do it again
To be with you feels like the right thing
This is my loss (my loss)
I did it wrong and i try to pretend
That nothing's changed for all that you bring
For all that you bring
Simple is so complex now
So I understand
That I never thought that happy could be distraught
Help me if you can
This is my loss (my loss)
I did it wrong and i'd do it again
To be with you feels like the right thing
This is my loss (my loss)
I did it wrong and i try to pretend
That nothing's changed for all that you bring
Well I know I'm wrong
And you know I'm here
I don't want to let you disapear
What am I worth when your eyes were
Begging me in fear
I only want to see you again
And repair the wounds that brought me in
I don't want to think it won't happen again
This is my loss (my loss)
I did it wrong and i'd do it again
To be with you feels like the right thing
This is my loss (my loss)
I did it wrong and i try to pretend
That nothing's changed for all that you bring
For all that you bring
For all that you bring
For all you bring

I get most of my news from the Jon Stewart Daily Show. It's the most level commentary you can find. You have to laugh, because it's all so true. It's the closest thing to a counterculture.

Jealousy
Jealousy , jealousy
Two oclock in the morning , I dont see my love around
You say you want to be with me girl
But youre never to be found
I know youre seeing someone else
And its sending me insane
Jealousy , taking me over and over again
Jealousy , saying you love ,but inside you pretend
You say I go on needlessly
Finding wrong in all I see
But I know in my heart from the start
You wanted to play , yeah
You know Im so alive with you
Telling love with all you do
I know Im gonna drive your love away , away
You were my inspiration
You were the answer to my prayer
A lover I could depend on and soften all my cares
I cant believe youre out at night holding someone new
Jealousy , taking me over and over again
Jealousy , saying you love ,but inside you pretend
You say I go on needlessly
Finding wrong in everything I see
But I knew in my heart from the start
That you wanted to play
But you know Im so alive with you
Telling love with all you do
I know Im gonna drive your love away , away
Jealousy , jealousy, taking me over and over again
Jealousy , saying you love but inside you pretend
You say I go on needlessly
Finding wrong in all I see
I know in my heart from the start
That you wanted to play
You know Im so alive with you
Telling love with all you do
I know Im gonna drive your love away
Jealousy , jealousy taking me over and over again
Jealousy , saying you love but inside you pretend
Jealousy , taking me over and over again
Jealousy , jealousy, taking me over and over
Jealousy, I cant help myself
Taking me over , jealousy , ..... (fade)

It's pretty clear now that what looked like it might have been some kind of counterculture is, in reality, just the plain old chaos of undifferentiated weirdness.

Too much misery
I live a life of misery and hate
I dream of being loved and safe
Hurt. pain, guilt, shame
With no one other than me to blame
Covering it up acting like nothings wrong
Trying to fit in trying to belong
It has never worked it never will
Too much emptiness too much to fill
Deaths an option so is life
Some days I don't know what feels right
When i'm down no ones there
Dosn't anyone worry dosn't anyone care
I feel like my hearts gone it's been ripped out
I'm alone in emptiness I can't even shout
When will someone notice when will someone see
Will it be too late to try and save me
I try to laugh about it cover up with lies
Too much to handle too much tears in my eyes
Maybe I should smile and keep my act one
Maybe I shouldn't I could be wrong
I have to stop I can no longer pretend
But I have to know one thing when will this misery end?

Sonnet- Life Is Flexible
It is not wrong to make mistakes often;
It is not wrong to do blunders in life;
It is not wrong to see mishaps happen;
It is not wrong to panic 'midst your strife.
It is not wrong to be lazy some days;
It is not wrong to make decisions wrong;
It is not wrong to squander wealth some ways;
It is not wrong to love a thing for long.
It is not wrong to come late while bell chimes,
It is not wrong to selfish be, at times;
It is not wrong to envy some sometimes;
It is not wrong to sin too many times.
It is not wrong to err where others don't;
'Tis wrong to feel guilty when others won't.

Just Pretend
(words & music by flett - fletcher)
Just pretend, Im holding you
And whispering things soft and low
And think of me, how its gonna be,
Just pretend I didnt go
When I walked away, I heard you say
If you need me, you know what to do
I knew it then, Id be back again
Just pretend Im right there with you
And Ill come flying to you, oh yes
All the crying is true
Oh, I will hold you and love you again
But until then, well just pretend
Oh, its funny but I cant recall the things
We said or why youre crying
But now I know it was wrong to go
I belong here by your side

Temptation Inside Your Heart
(reed)
Somebody shut the door
I know where temptation lies
Inside of you heart
You can talk during this
I know where the evil lies
Inside of your heart
Well get out of here
If youre gonna try to make it right
Youre surely gonna end up wrong
Wrong wrong wrong wrong
Ah!
Thats the only chord I know
I know where the mirrors edge
Is inside of your heart
Motown
Its no even within five feet
Well if youre gonna make it right
Youre surely gonna end up wrong
You dont look like martha and the vandellas
Im just gonna start it all over again
Somebody get her out of here
Electricity comes from other planets
(its not that a bad solo. four times is pretty together)
(you can stay here)
I know where temptation lies
Inside of your heart
Yes hes ready
I know where the evil lies
Inside of your heart
Is he ready
Well if youre gonna make it right
Youre surely gonna end up wrong
Oh the hole mess start again
Well new york buildings are very hight
And not all offensive
Lock the door
Gonna carry on at infinite leght, my dear
The pope in the silver castle
Was that awful
Hey, thats fine. thats it

(Oh, holding)
(Still holdin)
(Oh)
Before you go
I'd like to say
You give me so much satisfaction
Started up a chain reaction
Tryin' to work out in my mind
A way to let you know
Oh darling
You're asking me to be strong
But I can't see the wrong
In what I'm doing
Just want to hold you every day
Locked inside this feeling
I want you here to stay
Chorus:
(Holding)
Cause I'm holding (I'm holding)
I'm holding on
To the pieces of a dream
Holding
I'm holding on (Still holding)
Still holding on
To the pieces of a dream
What can I do
But to be true
I'm getting such a strong sensation
And it's not my imagination
It's not me to pretend
So try and understand
Oh darling
My heart is chosen to belong
And I don't see the wrong
In what I'm feeling
I know it's time to say goodbye
But I'm not living in a lie
I want you here to stay
Chorus x 2
Oh, baby
You're asking me to be strong
But I still can't see the wrong
In what I'm doing
Just want to hold you every day
Locked? inside this feeling
I want you here to stay

Get On The Right Thing
All at once you get love on your mind
And your world is as kind as a penny
Oh.... and you knew it all along / you did the right thing
Believe me its true / and it can happen to you
All at once you get sound in your ears
And your cloud disappears into yellow
Well you know they were were wrong
Get on the right thing / well you knew it all along
Get on the right thing
Believe me its so / because I happen to know
Try a little love, you cant go wrong
Get on the right thing (repeat twice)
My little love you cant go wrong
Get on the right thing / get on the right thing
Get on tee right thing do / get on the right thing you
All at once we see things in our skies
And we both realize it together

Get on the right thing / yes you knew it all along
Get on the right thing / believe me its so
Because I happen to know / you cant go wrong
Get on the right thing, get on the right thing,
Get on the right thing / you cant go wrong get on the right thing
And try a little love / and it cant go wrong
Get on the right thing you etc.
Try a little love, you cant go wrong

What Do You Need?
What do you need from me tonight?
I feel you look right through me now
I cant pretend its all right
Maybe well find a way somehow
Why do we need to turn it on?
Why does it always feel so wrong?
[chorus]
What do you need from me tonight?
The truth is so complicated now
You feel so free to say
Youre wrong, youre wrong
Youre wrong, youre wrong
Fear makes you fragile darlin
Hate is so heavy when youre weak
Now were both lost in anger
When were alone well find some peace
Why do we need to turn it on?
Why does it always seem so wrong?
What do you need from me tonight?
The truth is so complicated now
You feel so free to say
Youre wrong, youre wrong
Youre wrong, youre wrong
Youre wrong, youre wrong
Youre wrong, youre wrong
Why do we need to turn it on?
Why does it always seem so wrong?

Last Time
I've been waitin' for you all night.
I got somethin' to say so listen good.
Even fools can see the light.
You should have known I would.
'Cause I, I've been a desperate man.
Wonder why, I just don't understand,
All the pain, that I feel,
With every piece of my heart
That you steal.
'Cause it's the last time.
You'll never get another chance again.
It's been a fine line.
The feeling's over and I can't pretend.
It's the last time.
I heard talkin', I guess it's true.
You were wrong, I can see it in your eyes.
Now it's down to me and you,
So where you gonna hide?
'Cause I, I've been a desperate man.
Wonderin' why,
Why you don't understand,
All the pain, that I feel,
With every piece of my heart
That you steal.
'Cause it's the last time.
You'll never get another chance again.
It's been a fine line.
The feeling's over and I can't pretend, No.
You think I'd believe all your lies?
I handed my heart to you.
I should have known it was wrong
Right from the start.
Now it's time to say goodbye, Whoa, oh.
Baby it's the last time.
You'll never get another chance again.
It's been a fine line.
The feeling's over and I can't pretend.
Baby it's the last time.
You'll never get another chance again.
It's been a fine line.
The feeling's over and I can't pretend.
It's the last time.

Maybe you were joking
When you said tath you were walking out on me
Maybe, maybe
Maybe I was joking
When I said that I was running out on you
Maybe, maybe
I could be wrong, so wrong
I could be wrong, so wrong
Yes, I could be wrong
I dont know, but its been said
Decisions travel far from heart to head
Maybe, maybe
Maybe it was over
When you chuked me out the rover at full speed

The Seed Of A Lie
Im a ghost in the dark and Im yours.
I belong in the past and Im yours.
Like a song you forget, and Im yours.
Like a dream in the night, and Im yours.
The wrong place?
The wrong time?
I dont know.
The wrong face?
Yours or mine?
I dont know.
Like a tear when you sleep, Ill be yours.
Like a scar that wont fade, Ill be yours.
Like a pain in the cold, Ill be yours.
Like a fear in the heart, Ill be yours.
The wrong word when you cry
I will be
Like the seed of a lie
I will be
Like the germ of disease
I will be
Like the last one who cared
I will be
Like your shadow
I will haunt you
Do you remember?
I said to you
love is a mountain
But harder to climb.
It should be forever
But love is unkind
To me.
Dont let me down.
And you let me down.

Down On Love
Some people stay all alone and hide
They dont even want to know the reason why
Theyve given up on finding someone new
But new love comes, its gonna come for you
When true love comes, its gonna comfort you
Now you say youve got a broken heart
You oughta know this side of love can leave you torn apart
Dry your eyes cause your hearts gonna mend
And maybe tonight youll fall in love again
Yeah, maybe tonight youl fall in love again
But I know, I know that youre down on love
But youre wrong, so wrong
To be down on love
Now love seems so far away
Your skies are so cloudy
And the tears come like fallin rain
Face up to it and dont pretend
And maybe tonight youll fall in love again
Yeah, maybe tonight youll fall in love again
Just once in a life youll realize
When love takes two, only one heart cries
But youre wrong, so wrong to be down on love
You know youre not the only one
See Ive been down on love
In matters of the heart
You better know before you start
You cant get down on love
So always be prepared
To be alone and a little scared
But never down on love
You see you cant stay down forever, girl
Down on love
Come on, now
Dont get down on love
This aint right baby, no
Down on love
Dont you go through life livin down on love
Down on love
Dont you go through life livin down on love
Down on love
Dont you go through life down on love
Down on love
Down on love

Behind These Hazel Eyes
Seems like just yesterday
You were a part of me
I used to stand so tall
I used to be so strong
Your arms around me tight
Everything, it felt so right
Unbreakable, like nothin' could go wrong
Now I can't breathe
No, I can't sleep
I'm barely hanging on
Here I am, once again
I'm torn into pieces
Can't deny it, can't pretend
Just thought you were the one
Broken up, deep inside
But you won't get to see the tears I cry
Behind these hazel eyes
I told you everything
Opened up and let you in
You made me feel alright
For once in my life
Now all that's left of me
Is what I pretend to be
So together, but so broken up inside
'Cause I can't breathe
No, I can't sleep
I'm barely hangin' on
Here I am, once again
I'm torn into pieces
Can't deny it, can't pretend
Just thought you were the one
Broken up, deep inside
But you won't get to see the tears I cry
Behind these hazel eyes
Swallow me then spit me out
For hating you, I blame myself
Seeing you it kills me now
No, I don't cry on the outside
Anymore...
Here I am, once again
I'm torn into pieces
Can't deny it, can't pretend
Just thought you were the one
Broken up, deep inside
But you won't get to see the tears I cry
Behind these hazel eyes
Here I am, once again
I'm torn into pieces
Can't deny it, can't pretend
Just thought you were the one
Broken up, deep inside
But you won't get to see the tears I cry
Behind these hazel eyes

Whats Wrong With That
I may be rotten to the core
And stop me if you think I am
A kid in a candy store
The same as any dirty old man
I know Im not the first to see
I guarantee Im not the last
So take some good advice from me
Just try it once before you ask
I hear an enticing voice
(live it up, live it up, do it now, boy)
I dont like the other choice
(live it up, live it up)
Chorus:
Whats wrong with that
Whats wrong with the fountain of youth
Whats wrong with that
Whats wrong with a little self delusion
Who you think is foolin who
And who will be the last to laugh
Heres another lame excuse
Youre old enough to be her dad
Ive heard all the reasons why
(give it up, give it up, take a powder)
I turn them my blindest eye
(give it up, give it up)
Repeat chorus
Whats wrong with that
Whats wrong with a flower in bloom
Whats wrong with that
Whats wrong with a little self delusion
Days dont hide secrets of the heart
Only you and I do
Little white lies rip you right apart
And any way they want to
Life goes by, done before you start
I cant wait around to satisfy you
