I Cant
Please forget the words that I just blurted out
It wasnt me, it was a strange and creepy doubt
They keep drivin in my cage
Theres nothing in this world to keep the time
Even though I might,
Even though I try,
I cant
See the things that keep, keep me uninvolved
Silly words that i, that I cant live without
If you give up on me now,
Ill be gutted like Ive never been before
Even though I might,
Even though I try,
I cant

Can't
Please forget the words that I just blurted out,
it wasn't me, it was my strange and creeping doubt,
it keeps rattling my cage.
And there's nothing in this world will keep it down,
and even though I might, even though I try, I can't.
Even though I might, even though I try, I can't.
Soon your things that keep, that keep me underground,
so many words that I, that I can never find.
If you give up on me now,
I'll be gutted like I've never been before.
And even though I might, even though I try, I can't
Even though I might, even though I try, I can't
If you give up on me now,
I'll be gutted like I've never been before.
And even though I might, even though I try, I can't
Even though I might, even though I try, I can't,
even though I might, even though I try, I can't.
Even though I might, even though I try, I can't

Sucker
Sometimes I wish I was the weather
Youd bring me up in conversation forever
And when it rains Id be the talk of the day
Oh sometimes, I wish I was a cold beer
I would rest assure that you would hold me near
Id be guaranteed to be just what you need
And there could be no ther way because your so, your so lame
Your tired words are all, all the same
And I would walk, surely walk away
If I wasnt such a sucker for you
Sometimes I wish I was a bong hit
Youd let me in and love every minute
And tell the group the things I did to you
And there could be no ther way because your so, your so lame
Your tired words are all, all the same
And I would walk, surely walk away
If I wasnt such a sucker for you
I see your world with rosy colored glasses on
What a right I would see wrong
I could never have that power of you
Someday Im gonna pack up and leave this town
Im gonna get my own things going on
And when I do, I will forget about how
Your so lame,
Tired words are all the same
I would walk, you know Id walk away
If I wasnt such a sucker for you
If I wasnt such a sucker for you
If I wasnt such a sucker for you

Drivin
It seems like all the world is fighting
Theyre even talking of a war
Let all the russians and the chinese
And the spanish do their fighting
The sun is shining
Were going drivin, drivin
Drop all your work
Leave it behind
Forget all your problems
And get in my car
And take a drive with me
The sandwiches are packed
The tea is in the flask
Weve plenty of beer
And gooseberry tarts
So take a drive with me
Well take your mother if you want to
Well have a picnic on the grass
Forget your nephews
And your cousins and your brothers and your sisters
Theyll never miss us
cos well be drivin, drivin. drivin. drivin
Thousands of trees
Hundreds of fields
Millions of birds
So why dont you come
And take a drive with me
Well talk to the cows
And laugh at the sheep
Well lie in a field
And well have a sleep
So take a drive with me
And all the troubled world around us
Seems an eternity away
And all the debt collectors
Rent collectors
All will be behind us
But theyll never find us
cos well be drivin, drivin, drivin, drivin
Passed barnet church
Up to potters bar
We wont be home late
Its not very far
So take a drive with me, take a drive with me
Drivin, drivin, drivin, drivin

You Drive Me Crazy
Tiger eyes
Just as wild as you make me feel
Tantalize
Make my designs hard to conceal
Trying hard to hold on to you
Waterfall in my hand you're slippin' through
Tried so hard it makes me scream
Can't you see that you're drivin' me crazy
I don't know what to do
All you do is you're drivin' me crazy
It makes me feel so good, so good, so good
Will you stay and give me time to work it out
Day by day
Lose my mind without a doubt
Don't want to hang you up this way
Just wanna lay you down and play
I'm gonna go out of my mind
Can't you see that you're drivin' me crazy
I don't know what to do
All you do is you're drivin' me crazy
It makes me feel so good, so good, so good
Can't you see that you're drivin' me crazy (you're drivin' me crazy)
I don't know what to do
All you do is you're drivin' me crazy (you're drivin' me crazy)
It makes me feel so good
Can't you see that you're drivin' me crazy (you're drivin' me crazy)
I don't know what to do
All you do is you're drivin' me crazy (you're drivin' me crazy)
It makes me feel so good
Can't you see that you're drivin' me crazy (you're drivin' me crazy)
I don't know what to do

Strange Things
I was on top of the world
It was right in my pocket
I was livin' the life
Things were just the way they should be
When from out of the sky like a bomb comes some little punk in a rocket
Now all of a sudden some strange things are happenin' to me
I had friends,
I had lots of friends
Now all my friends are gone
And I'm doin' the best I can to carry on
I had power (power)
I was respected (respect)
But not any more
And I've lost the love to the one whom I adored
Let me tell you about the strange things are happenin' to me
Strange things
Strange things are happenin' to me...
Ain't no doubt about it
You got someone you think you know well
It turns out a stranger
The minute you turn your back
You're in it all by yourself
They laugh at your jokes
You think you're doin' well
But you're in danger, boy
You end up alone, forgotten, way up on the shelf
Strange things are happenin' to me
Strange things
Strange things are happenin' to me
Ain't no doubt about it
Strange things are happenin' to me
Strange things
Strange things are happenin' to me
Strange things
Strange things

I Know Your Heart…
From your poetry
I know your heart
Words that heal or
Tear things apart
Words from fear
Uncertainty, doubt
Poetic words that
Unite, block out
Words of love,
Reverence, hope
Tiny words or
Large in scope
Words wisely chosen
Words that cause pain
And damaged feelings
Over and over again
Next time your mouth opens
Check heart before you speak
For things always go better
When one withholds critique

Boris The Spider
Look, hes crawling up my wall
Black and hairy, very small
Now hes up above my head
Hanging by a little thread
Boris the spider
Boris the spider
Now hes dropped on to the floor
Heading for the bedroom door
Maybe hes as scared as me
Wheres he gone now, I cant see
Boris the spider
Boris the spider
Creepy, crawly
Creepy, crawly
Creepy, creepy, crawly, crawly
Creepy, creepy, crawly, crawly
Creepy, creepy, crawly, crawly
Creepy, creepy, crawly, crawly
There he is wrapped in a ball
Doesnt seem to move at all
Perhaps hes dead, Ill just make sure
Pick this book up off the floor
Boris the spider
Boris the spider
Creepy, crawly
Creepy, crawly
Creepy, creepy, crawly, crawly
Creepy, creepy, crawly, crawly
Creepy, creepy, crawly, crawly
Creepy, creepy, crawly, crawly
Hes come to a sticky end
Dont think he will ever mend
Never more will he crawl round
Hes embedded in the ground

It Wasnt Me
It wasnt me who shamed you
Its not fair to say that
You wanted to work I gave you a chance at that
It wasnt me who hurt you
Thats more credit that Im worth
Dont threaten me with the things youll do to you
It wasnt me who shamed you
It wasnt me who brought you down
You did it to yourself without any help from me
It wasnt me who hurt you
I showed you possibilities
The problems you had were there before you met me
I didnt say this had to be
You cant blame these things on me
It wasnt me, it wasnt me, it wasnt me
I know shes dead, it wasnt me
It wasnt me who changed you
You did it to yourself
Im not an excuse for the hole you dropped in
Im not simple minded
But Im not father to you at all
Death exists but you do things to yourself
I never said give up control
I never said stick a needle in your arm and die
It wasnt me, it wasnt me, it wasnt me
I know hes dead but it wasnt me
It wasnt me who shamed you
Who covered you with mud
You did it to yourself without any help from me
You act as I couldve told you
Or stopped you like some god
But people never listen and you know that thats a fact
I never said slit your wrists and die
I never said throw your life away
It wasnt me, it wasnt me, it wasnt me
Youre killing yourself, you cant blame me

Ill Be There For You
I guess this time youre really leaving
I heard your suitcase say goodbye
And as my broken heart lies bleeding
You say true love in suicide
You say youre cried a thousand rivers
And now youre swimming for the shore
You left me drowning in my tears
And you wont save me anymore
Now Im praying to God youll give me one more chance, girl
Ill be there for you
These five words I swear to you
When you breathe I want to be the air for you
Ill be there for you
Id live and Id die for you
Steal the sun from the sky for you
Words cant say what a love can do
Ill be there for you
I know you know were had some good times
How they have their own hiding place
I can promise you tomorrow
But I cant buy back yesterday
And baby you know my hands are dirty
But I wanted to be your valentine
Ill be the water when you get thirsty, baby
When you get drink, Ill be the wine
Ill be there for you
These five words I swear to you
When you breathe I want to be the air for you
Ill be there for you
Id live and Id die for you
Steal the sun from the sky for you
Words cant say what a love can do
Ill be there for you
Solo
And I want there when you were happy
I wasnt there when you were down
I didnt mean to miss your birthday, baby
I wish Id seen you blow those candles out
Ill be there for you
These five words I swear to you
When you breathe I want to be the air for you
Ill be there for you
Id live and Id die for you
Steal the sun from the sky for you
Words cant say what a love can do
Ill be there for you

learning how to deal with all this pain inside my heart.

use some words to paint a picture to put inside ur mind. i can use
my hands to whipe the dust off this guitar. and let the music that
i'm playing take my mind off my heart.

Those Words We Said
(angelo/kim richey)
I left home with nothing but a few tears in my eyes
Now Im halfway down the interstate past highway 99
Its just me and one good wiper blade up against the rain
And I still hear the echoes of those bitter words we said
I could drive a million miles and never drive them from my head
Those words we said
No matter how I try I cant get far enough away
Every sad song on my radio sounds like its custom made
By some devil on my shoulder that keeps whispering in my ear
Those words that wounded like an arrow to the heart
And keep me drivin, drivin

In This World Of Infinite Words
IN THIS WORLD OF INFINITE WORDS
In this world of infinite words
So many poems have already been written,
Infinite poems in infinite words-
Therefore any new poem simply seems to cry out its own non- necessity-
Yet in a word in a voice
A whole world can be born and transformed-
A new poem a real poem
Can make us forget all the others
And make all the others live through it-
Yet who in this world of infinite words
Can write this poem?
And when will the next set of strangers names come
To show me that my words are nothing?

Wisdom Of The Ages
(words & music by giant - baum - kaye)
Listen, to the wisdom of the ages
Listen, to the words of many sages
Live each day, as if it were your last
Its written in the stars, your destiny is cast
And that hourglass, runs too fast no doubt
For the sands of time are running out
Listen, to the wisdom of the ages
These words, can be found in historys pages
Live each day, for happiness cant wait
And love while you may, but heed the hand of fate
If the finger points, its too late no doubt
For the sands of time, are running out
But the man who turns, and escapes somehow
Is the wisest of men
And to such a man, Id bow

As If
It was more than a matter of knowin
Or the words that were finally said
It was more than the comin or goin
Or the things that were made in your head
It was more than a matter of wantin
And needin the foolish things I gave
As if I ever cared to make you cry
Couldve been right to know that it wast
Yet you knew I was sorry
I dared to make you cry
As if I would
As if I could
As if I tried
But the words that were finally spoken
Like the thoughts that remain in my soul
And hearts that were finally broken
And embrace that never be hold
And the words that I never told you
But I told you, the foolish things I said
As if I ever cared to make you cry
I couldve been right to know that I wasnt
Yet you knew that I was sorry
I dared to make you cry
As if I would
As if I could
As if I tried
As if I ever cared to make you cry
I couldve been right to know that I wasnt
Yet you knew that I was sorry
I dared to make you cry
Could have been strong but the words didnt rhyme
And the things that would come between us

Feel safe in cell
How person can feel safe if put into cell?
How can he think healthy and positive to feel well?
Some these things are related to person’s freedom
This has been neglected and realized seldom
Even birds resist when put into cage?
In civilized society we have taken a pledge
Not to chain anybody and keep in bondage
There is complete and acceptable sea change
Someone may be serving sentence
He is behind bar for not showing out side presence
It is just to check the lawlessness and maintain order
Society is helped in this way to have safe border
We advocate the principle of “Live and let others live”
Condone the sentence and give chance to relive
Forget the past incidence and forgive
In this way we can afford some chance to give
Jails, no doubt, are not meant for punishing persons
But give a chance to reform for various reasons
Person can be hanged for the charges of treason
But can’t be forgotten for murder, loot and arson
It can turn person into hard core criminals
When come out of cell, he may know all terminals
He will not be the same person with innocence
He has nothing to maintain as good rapport with resonance
Cell is like good place or reforming club
Here person is trying to forget wounds and not allowed to rub
He is given enough of lessons to shed past record
To come out as good citizens with promising words

Words Sometimes Take On A Own Meaning
Words sometimes take on a own meaning
and sometimes they are sharp and painful
as if there is much more to words
as if a kind of secret knowledge hides in them
that are sometimes something moving.
Words sometimes take on a own meaning
but somehow words can at times miss things
and are sometimes dependent on feelings
as if there is much more to words
when through it all love brings a kind of bonding
and so you and I are attractive to each other.
Words sometimes take on a own meaning
and daily a bond develops between us,
while you become more considerable to me,
as if there is much more to words
you constantly live in my thoughts,
while love becomes real through words.
Words sometimes take on a own meaning
as if there is much more to words…

Am I Crazy
Words that keep on coming
into my crazy mind, but why?
they enter they run around,
confuse, they drive me mad.
Nuisance this world of ours,
silly too the words that come,
they go away to come again,
in and out, they roundabout.
Turning they fly into my mind,
where or how who made these
crazy words come in, silly too
To I find my mind so troubled.
Am I mad, am I sane, am I crazy,
am I nuts, am I around the bend,
am I creating, do I have a problem,
do I have a gift for crazy thoughts?
Is it wrong to question, wrong to ask,
is the world mad or am I pretty dumb,
or should I become like a good sheep,
become a flock, a clique, a tag along?
I need to have an answer or a reply;
life is everywhere, so beautiful to see,
people love, they have their families,
they help each other, they marry too.
In all the crazy words, questions found;
if our world is full of beauty, full of growth,
if we love someone who is a human being,
a member of the human race that cares.
Most try to make a better world to live,
yet some who believe in this or that,
try to sweep the love the care away,
they kill, they hurt, they make the war.
Why use weapons to destroy beauty
of our world, make the bombs, the guns
that kill, spoil our world, hurt, injure
wound people, damage work that’s built?
If you can say my crazy words are wrong,
and give good reasons why you’d rather war,
kill people, destroy their homes their lives,
destroy trust, truth, spread hate not love.
Than live a life of love, harmony, of peace.
Convince me of your love for all mankind,
Only then and with much persuasion will I
be a good sheep, who follows, tags along.
Indifferent, unconcerned by worlds at war.

If Only Through Heavens Eyes
Oh, oh
I never thought you were
A fair weather friend
You never let me down
Youre true to the end
Then the darkest hour
And all was lost
Somehow you left the light on
Faced the wrong
And showed the world a thing or two
Stood up for me and for you
And you should know
Chorus:
Some say it wasnt worth
The things we went through
I say it aint worth losing you
I hope you know how much
Youve changed all our lives
Someday youll see
If only through heavens eyes
Only through heavens eyes
I still remember
Things that you said
I keep your words alive
I can never forget
cus in the final hour
You made me proud
So proud that I could know you
Told the world
Its time that they believe in you
You stood tried and true
Chorus
And so we cant forget
Weve got to keep the memory
The ones who took the fall
They did it for us all
And we should learn from it
Stand up if you believe in it
Youve got to face the world
Be strong
Strong

Papa
Papa, this is your son writing to you from a very strange land;
There is air on this land but with the floating minds that muses,
And of the power of love and the power of the muse that it brings.
I have been able to live here for many years and,
I have taken your words and i am now myself over here.
This is a very strange land with no air,
But your words had taken me in that far;
For up and close and personal is the muse that the land shares.
I am living on this strange land with my lover,
But my heart will grow on to fulfil my dreams;
Papa, it is all coming back to you now!
For your words are my weapons over here to muse up with others.
The immortality of the mortals seems far from this dream,
And i will always do my best to get you the news from here always;
But if the walls could talk, they could have told you much already.
I will give up on this dream and,
Living in this strange land will be my weapon ahead;
For, i left home to be able to satisfy you people as well.

Just Wasnt Love
Blame it on the blues you sing
Blame it on anything and everything
Blame it on a lack of faith or a twist of fate
til it makes you feel okay
Then come to terms with the fact
It was over because it was
Chorus:
It wasnt the time
It wasnt the place
Or my frame of mind, or the look on your face
It wasnt the road we were on
Or the days, though there were not enough
Sad to say
It just wasnt love
Oh, I thought that you were the one
Saw forever
It was here and it was gone
I needed a reason clear things dont disappear
And thats how I found the truth
Its just how the story goes
Weve been over it a hundred times
Chorus
Some things need no explanation
No chance for will thats free (oh no, no)
Some things kill every reason we have
To ever believe things are what they seem
It wasnt the road we were on
Or the days, though there were not enough
Oh, sad to say
Chorus
No, no, no, no
Baby, no, it just wasnt love
It just wasnt love
No, no, no, no
Baby, no, it just wasnt love
Just wasnt love
No, no, no, no
Just wasnt love
No, no, no, no
Baby, no, it just wasnt love
It just wasnt love
