Puppy fat
Gone to the dogs
Hair of the dog
Mutton dressed as lamb

You gotta be crazy
you gotta have a real need,
Gotta sleep on your toes, and when you’re on the street,
you gotta be able to be able to pick out the easy meat
with your eyes closed.
Then moving in silently, down wind and out if sight,
you gotta strike when the moment is right,
without thinking
And after a while,
you can work on points of style
like the club tie and the firm handshake,
a certain look in the eye and an easy smile
You have to be trusted.
by the people that you lie to,
so that when they turn their backs on you
You’ll get the chance to put the knife in.

Give a dog a bone
The dog star
Every dog has his day
A dogs life

You’ve gotta keep one eye
looking over you’re shoulder
You know it’s gonna get harder, harder and harder
as you get older
Yeah, and in the end you’ll pack up and fly down south,
Hide your head in the sand.
Just another sad old man.
All alone and dying of cancer.

Isle of dogs
The dog watch
Dog eats dog
Hound to death

And when you lose control,
you’ll reap the harvest you have sown
And as the fear grows,
The bad blood shows and turns to stone
And it’s too late to lose the weight you used to need to throw around.
So have a good drown as you go down all alone
dragged down by the stone.

Dogfish
Didn’t have a dogs chance
You can’t teach an old dog new tricks
To dog someones footsteps

Gotta admit
that I’m a little bit confused,
sometimes it seems to me,
as if I’m just being used.
Gotta stay awake gotta try and shake off
this creeping malaise.
If I don’t stand my own ground,
how can I find my way out of this maze,
deaf, dumb and blind.
You just keep on pretending
that ev’ry one’s expendable
and no one has a real friend.
And it seems to you the thing to do,
would be to isolate the winner.
And ev’rything’s done under the sun,
and you believe at heart ev’ryone’s a killer

Battersea dog’s home
Dogpaddle
Puppy love
Raining cats and dogs

Who was born in a house full of pain
who was train’d not to spit in the fan,
who was told what to do by the man,
who was broken by train’d personnal,
who was fitted with clooar and chain
who was given a pat on the back,
who was breaking away from the pack,
who was only a stranger at home,
who was ground down in the end,
who was found dead on the phone,
who was dragged down by the stone
who was dragged down by the stone.

Dog eared
Man bites dog
Houndstooth check
Hogging the action

Kiss From A Rose - Seal

There used to be a greying tower alone on the sea
You became the light on the dark side of me
Love remained a drug that's the high and not the pill

But did you know,
That when it snows,
My eyes become large
And the light that you shine can be seen

Baby,
I compare you to a kiss from a rose on the grey
Ooh,
The more I get of you
The stranger it feels, yeah
And now that your rose is is in bloom,
A light hits the gloom on the grey

There is so much a man can tell you,
So much he can say
You remain,
My power, my pleasure, my pain, baby
To me you're like a growing addiction that I can't deny
Won't you tell me is that healthy, baby?

But did you know,
That when it snows,
My eyes become large
And the light that you shine can be seen

Baby,
I compare you to a kiss from a rose on the grey.
Ooh, the more I get of you
The stranger it feels, yeah
Now that your rose is in bloom
A light hits the gloom on the grey

I've been kissed by a rose on the grey
I've been kissed by a rose on the grey
I've been kissed by a rose on the grey

I've been kissed by a rose on the grey.

There is so much a man can tell you,
So much he can say
You remain
My power, my pleasure, my pain
To me you're like a growing addiction that I can't deny, yeah
Won't you tell me is that healthy, baby?

But did you know,
That when it snows,
My eyes become large
And the light that you shine can be seen

Baby, I compare you to a kiss from a rose on the grey.
Ooh, the more I get of you
The stranger it feels, yeah
Now that your rose is in bloom,
A light hits the gloom on the grey

Now that your rose is in bloom,
A light hits the gloom on the grey

Not necessarily a fav but on loop lately:

Within Temptation - What have you done?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Would you mind if I hurt you
Understand that I need to
Wish that I had other choices
Than to hurt the one I love

What have you done now?

I know I'd better stop trying
You know that there's no denying
I won't show mercy on you now

I know I should stop believing
I know that there's no retrieving
It's over now
What have you done?

What have you done now?

I, I've been waiting for someone like you
But now you are slipping away
What have you done now?
Why? Why does Fate make us suffer?
There's a curse between us
Between me and you

What have you done (x4)
What have you done now
What have you done (x4)
What have you done now

Would you mind if I killed you?
Would you mind if I tried to?
[What Have You Done lyrics on http://www.metrolyrics.com]

Cause you have turned into my worst enemy
You carry hate that I feel
It's over now
What have you done?

What have you done now?

I, I've been waiting for someone like you
But now you are slipping away
What have you done now?
Why? Why does Fate make us suffer?
There's a curse between us
Between me and you

What have you done (x4)
What have you done now
What have you done (x4)
What have you done now

I will not fall
Won't let it go
We will be free
When it ends

I, I've been waiting for someone like you
But now you are slipping away
What have you done now?
Why? Why does Fate make us suffer?
There's a curse between us
Between me and you
(x2)

One song that amuses me:

Space - Neighbourhood
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Who lives in a house like this
Who lives in a house like this
In Number 69 there lives a transvestite
he's a man by day
but he's a woman at night
there's a man in number 4 who swears
he's Saddam Hussein
Says he's on a chore to start the
third world war
oh if you find the time
please come and stay a while
in my beautiful neighbourhood
in 110 they haven't paid the rent
so there goes the tv with the repo men
in 999 they make a living from crime
the house is always empty 'cos they're
all doin' time

oh if you find the time
please come and stay a while
in my beautiful neighbourhood
my neighbourhood
my my my beautiful neighbourhood
my neighbourhood
my my my beautiful neighbourhood

who lives in a house like this
who lives in a house like this
in number 18 there lives a big
butch queen
he's bigger than Tyson and he's twice
as mean
in 666 there lives a Mr. Miller
he's our local vicar and a serial killer

who lives in a house like this (who lives here, man?)
who lives in a house like this
oh they want to knock us down
'cos they think we're scum
but we will all be waiting when the
bulldozers come
in a neighbourhood like this you know
it's hard to survive
so you'd better come prepared
'cos they won't take us alive

One more that also makes me laugh:

Fluke - Absurd
~~~~~~~~~

King Kong, in Cannes, on a date with Spiderman.
Dan Dar's sitting there, scared by the killer teddy bears.
Down town, Mini mouse is slippin Micky's in the famous grouse,
while big bird spreads the word
Anybody with a heart votes love.
Judge Dredd, found dead, face down in Snoopy's bed.
Outside, Tweetie Pie's getting itchy on more supplies.
Meanwhile, Snow White gets ready for work tonight,
turning tricks with crystal tips.
Trying to make the best of it's absurd.
Puppy dogs and p**** cats in suspect suicide attacks.
Captain Kirk from Planet Earth, fights it out with Papa Smurf
Some phoney little ponies, preying on old and lonely,
making friends, robbing them
The X men taught them everything.
Betty Boop, tired of life, took vows,
became a bride of Christ
While Tin Tin's been playing at Caesar's palace live on ice.
Babar Kumbayahs with the mighty Morphin movie stars,
as big bird spreads the word
Anybody with a heart votes love.

Betrayal - Apocalytica

All that I ever wanted
To understand my nightmares
Possessed by my fears
Betrayed by my pride
Alone I wandered in the deepest dark
Seeking comfort from the vanity
Each time I escaped the real
My soul died, died a bit more
Confronting the evil within
Praying for my angel to appear
Agonized whisper into the emptiness
Begging for salvation - salvation for this cursed mind
Words without meaning
Touch without feeling
I do not recognize my own face
Eyes that were once shining
Now extinguished
Left only a silent cold
Sound of a tear falling down
In the desperate hour of loneliness
This shattered heart reaching
For it's relief - the relief it cannot find
Glance without affection
Kiss without sensitivity
Promise without comprehension
Love without hope
I do not remember my own tale
Betrayed by my anger
Betrayed by my delusions
Betrayed by my lust
(I wish)
Strength - to be released from my demons
(I desire)
Wisdom - to forgive the past
To forgive me

You will search, babe, at any cost.
But how long will you search
for what is not lost
Everybody will help you
some people are very kind.
But if I can save you, anytime,
come, give it to me.
I'll keep it with mine.

I can't help it if you might think I'm odd
when I say I'm loving you
not for what you are but what you're not.
Everybody will help you
discover what you've set out to find.
And if I can save you anytime,
come, give it to me.
I'll keep it with mine.

~Bob Dylan, I'll Keep It With Mine verses 1 and 2

Nine Inch Nails - In This Twilight - Year Zero

watch the sun,
as it crawls across a final time
and it feels like,
like it was a friend.
if it's watching us,
and the world we set on fire
do you wonder,
if it feels the same?

and the sky is filled with light
can you see it?
all the black is really white
if you believe it
as the time is running out
let me take away your doubt
we can find a better a place
in this twilight

dust to dust,
ashes in your hair remind me
what it feels like
and I won't feel again
night descends
could I have been a better person
if I could only do it all again

and the sky is filled with light
can you see it?
all the black is really white
if you believe it
and the longing that you feel
you know none of this real
we will find a better a place
in this twilight

See You Again - Jenny Bliss

(Oh my love
Oh my love
Oh my love
Will I see you again?)

I've been feeling confused
Can't stop thinking about you, baby
And what my life would be like without your love
Surrounded by love and sweet emotion
Some day I will see if my visions are true

Another day, a different place
To feel the same without you
And my love for you goes on and on and on
Stronger by everyday
It never ends, it never will
Someday I will know if I can see you again

(Oh my love
Oh my love
Oh my love
Will I see you again?)

'Cause I feel free... When I'm with you
'Cause I feel free... I feel so free

As the future comes flying by
And reveals the truth about us
Thinking that I can't make a change
I can't make a change of my own
Will you stay with me forever,
And let me hold you until the end?
Why can't you see it?
Can't you feel it?

(Oh my love
Oh my love
Oh my love
Will I see you again?)

Another day, a different place
To feel the same without you
And my love for you goes on and on and on
Stronger by everyday
It never ends, it never will
Someday I will know if I can see you again

'Cause I feel free... When I'm with you
'Cause I feel free... I feel so free

(Oh my love
Oh my love
Oh my love
Will I see you again?)

I like this one because It seems (to me anyways) to be relavent to having AS in some ways.

THE ALL-AMERICAN REJECTS LYRICS
"Move Along"

Go ahead as you waste your days with thinking
When you fall everyone stands
Another day and you've had your fill of sinking
With the life held in your
Hands are shaking cold
These hands are meant to hold

Speak to me, when all you got to keep is strong
Move along, move along like I know you do
And even when your hope is gone
Move along, move along just to make it through
Move along
Move along

So a day when you've lost yourself completely
Could be a night when your life ends
Such a heart that will lead you to deceiving
All the pain held in your
Hands are shaking cold
Your hands are mine to hold

Speak to me, when all you got to keep is strong
Move along, move along like I know you do
And even when your hope is gone
Move along, move along just to make it through
Move along
(Go on, go on, go on, go on)

When everything is wrong, we move along
(Go on, go on, go on, go on)
When everything is wrong, we move along
Along, along, along

When all you got to keep is strong
Move along, move along like I know you do
And even when your hope is gone
Move along, move along just to make it through
[x3]

(Go on, go on, go on, go on)
Right back what is wrong
We move along
[fade out]

Lucretia My Reflection by Sisters Of Mercy

I hear the roar of a big machine
Two worlds and in between
Hot metal and methedrine
I hear empire down
I hear empire down

I hear the roar of a big machine
Two worlds and in between
Love lost, fire at will
Dum-dum bullets and shoot to kill, I hear
Dive bombers, and
Empire down
Empire down

I hear the sons of the city and dispossessed
Get down, get undressed
Get prettty but you and me
We got the kingdom, we got the key
We got the empire, now as then
We don't doubt, we don't take direction
Lucretia, my reflection, dance the ghost with me...

We look hard
We look through
We look hard to see for real
Such things I hear, they don't make sense
I don't see much evidence
I don't feel
I don't feel
I don't feel

A long train held up by page on page
A hard reign held up by rage
Once a railroad
Now it's done...

I hear the roar of a big machine
Two worlds and in between
Hot metal and methedrine
I hear empire down...

We got the empire, now as then
We don't doubt, we don't take reflection
Lucretia, my direction, dance the ghost with me

"Date Rape"-by sublime
Let me tell you about a girl I know,
had a drink about a hour ago.
Sitting in a corner by herself, in a bar in downtown Hell.

She heard a noise and she looked through the door.
And saw a man she'd never seen before.
Light skin, light blue eyes, a double-chin and a plastic smile.
Well, her heart raced as he walked in the door
And took an empty seat next to her at the bar.
"My brand new car is parked right outside. How'd ya like to go for a ride?"
And she said."Wait a minute I have to think."
He said, "That's fine. May I please buy you a drink"
One drink turned into 3 or 4 and they left and got into his car
and they drove away someplace real far.

Now babe the time has come.
How'd ya like to have a little fun?
And she said."If we could only please be on our way, I will not run."

That's when things got out of control.
She didn't want to, he had his way.
She said, "Let's Go"
He said, "No Way!"
Come on babe it's your lucky day.
Shut your mouth, were gonna do it my way.
Come on baby don't be afraid,
if it wasn't for date rape I'd never get laid.

He finished up and he started the car
He turned around and drove back to the bar.
He said."Now baby don't be sad, in my opinion you weren't half-bad."
She picked up a rock.,threw it at the car, hit him in the head, now he's got a big scar.
Come on party people won't you listen to me.
Date Rape Stylee.

The next day she went to her drawer, look up her local attorney at law,
went to the phone and filed the police report and then she took the guy's ass to court.
Well, the day he stood in front of the judge he screamed, "She lies that little slut!"
The judge knew that he was full of s**t and he gave him 25 years
And now his heart is filled with tears.

One night in jail it was getting late.
He was butt-raped by a large inmate, and he screamed.
But the guards paid no attention to his cries.

That's when things got out of control.
The moral of the date rape story, it does not pay to be drunk and horny.
But that's the way it had to be.
They locked him up and threw away the key.
Well, I can't take pity on men of his kind,
even though he now takes it in the behind.

But that's the way it had to be.
They locked him up and threw away the key.
Well, I can't take pity on men of his kind,
even though he now takes it in the behind.
DATE RAPE!

She didn't want to [x4]
TAKE IT!

metallica - sanitarium
mainly becuse i can relate to it

Welcome to where time stands still
No one leaves and no one will
Moon is full, never seems to change
Just labeled mentally deranged
Dream the same thing every night
I see our freedom in my sight
No locked doors, no windows barred
No things to make my brain seem scarred

Sleep, my friend, and you will see
That dream is my reality
They keep me locked up in this cage
Can't they see it's why my brain says “rage”

Sanitarium, leave me be
Sanitarium, just leave me alone

Build my fear of what's out there
Cannot breathe the open air
Whisper things into my brain
Assuring me that I'm insane
They think our heads are in their hands
But violent use brings violent plans
Keep him tied, it makes him well
He's getting better, can't you tell?


No more can they keep us in
Listen, damn it, we will win
They see it right, they see it well
But they think this saves us from our hell

Sanitarium, leave me be
Sanitarium, just leave me alone
Sanitarium

Just leave me alone

Fear of living on
Natives getting restless now
Mutiny in the air
Got some death to do
Mirror stares back hard
kill is such a friendly word
seems the only way
for reaching out again

It's technically a poem....but Beethoven set it to music so... Franz Schiller - An die Freude. (wiki "Ode to Joy")

Beethoven embodies ecstasy (the emotion...not MDMA) so perfectly.

Tina Turner - What's love got to do with it



You must understand
That the touch of your hand
Makes my pulse react
That it`s only the thrill
Of boy meeting girl
Opposites attract

It`s physical
Only logical
You must try to ignore
That it means more than that

[Chorus]
Oh whats love got to do, got to do with it
What`s love but a second hand emotion
What`s love got to do, got to do with it
Who needs a heart
When a heart can be broken

It may seem to you
That i`m acting confused
When you`re close to me
If i tend to look dazed
I`ve read it someplace
I`ve got cause to be

There`s a name for it
There`s a phrase that fits
But whatever the reason
You do it for me

[Chorus]

I`ve been thinking of a new direction
But i have to say
I`ve been thinking about my own protection
It scares me to feel this way

What`s love got to do, got to do with it
What`s love but a sweet old fashioned notion
What`s love got to do, got to do with it
Who needs a heart when a heart can be broken

This is a song by Allen Finney, who is an American in Sweden. I played music with him for years and he has quite a catalogue of truly great songs.

This song I always related to and I always get shivers when I hear it. Now that I am diagnosed, I really feel for it.


MUSIC AND MAGIC by Allen Finney

If I had more to give,
I could probably find a way to live, and do it
Make music and magic.

If I had less to doubt,
I could probably dig myself right out, and do it
Make music and magic.

But it's a slippery slide.
It's a one way ride.
Green eyes wide.
No place to hide.
'Cause the things inside that reached out and tied us all together
are still there.


If I was a stone,
I wouldn't have to look for ways to be left alone.
If I could find the rain,
I'd know the way to start it all again, and do it
Make music and magic.

But it's a slippery slide.
A one way ride.
Green Eyes wide.
No place to hide.

The Quiet One

Everybody calls me the quiet one
You can see, but you can't hear me
Everybody calls me the quiet one
You can try, but you can't get near me

I ain't never ever had the gift of the gab
But I can talk with my eyes
Words fail me
But you won't nail me
My eyes can tell you lies

Still waters run deep
So be careful I don't drown you
You've got nothing to hear
I've got nothing to say
Sticks and stones may break your bones
But names can never down you
It only takes two words to blow you away

Everybody calls me the quiet one
But you just don't understand
You can't listen, you won't hear me
with your head stuck in the sand
I ain't never had time for words that don't rhyme
My head is in a cloud
I ain't quiet, everybody else is too loud

Still waters run deep
So be careful I don't drown you
You've got nothing to hear
I've got nothing to say
Sticks and stones may break your bones
But names can never down you
It only takes two words to blow you away

You're The Inspiration - Chicago

You know our love was meant to be
The kind of love to last forever
And I want you here with me
From tonight until the end of time

You should know
Everywhere I go
Always on my mind
In my heart
In my soul, baby

You're the meaning in my life
You're the inspiration
You bring feeling to my life
You're the inspiration
Wanna have you near me
I wanna have you hear me say it
No one needs you more than I need you

And I know (and I know)
Yes, I know that it's plain to see
So in love when we're together
Now I know (now I know)
That I need you here with me
From tonight until the end of time

You should know
Everywhere I go
Always on my mind
In my heart
In my soul

You're the meaning in my life

You bring feeling to my life
You're the inspiration
Wanna have you near me

No one needs you more than I need you

Wanna have you near me
I wanna have you hear me say it
No one needs you more than I need you

You're the meaning in my life
You're the inspiration

When you love somebody (x4)
