The underworld



Hey Jude, don't make it bad
Take a sad song and make it better
Remember to let her into your heart
Then you can start to make it better

Hey Jude, don't be afraid
You were made to go out and get her
The minute you let her under your skin
Then you begin to make it better

And anytime you feel the pain, hey Jude, refrain
Don't carry the world upon your shoulders
For well you know that it's a fool who plays it cool
By making his world a little colder
Na na na, na na, na na na na

Hey Jude, don't let me down
You have found her, now go and get her
Remember to let her into your heart
Then you can start to make it better

So let it out and let it in, hey Jude, begin
You're waiting for someone to perform with
And don't you know that it's just you? Hey Jude, you'll do
The movement you need is on your shoulder
Na na na, na na, na na na na, yeah

Hey Jude, don't make it bad
Take a sad song and make it better
Remember to let her under your skin
Then you begin to make it better
Better, better, better, better, better, oh!

Na na na, na-na na na
Na-na na na, hey Jude
Na na na, na-na na na
Na-na na na, hey Jude

Na na na, na-na na na
Na-na na na, hey Jude
Na na na, na-na na na
Na-na na na, hey Jude

Na na na, na-na na na
Na-na na na, hey Jude
Na na na, na-na na na
Na-na na na, hey Jude

Moments turn to dust


One More Cup of Coffee by Bob Dylan on Grooveshark

Your breath is sweet
Your eyes are like two jewels in the sky
Your back is straight your hair is smooth
On the pillow where you lie
But I don't sense affection
No gratitude or love
Your loyalty is not to me
But to the stars above

One more cup of coffee for the road
One more cup of coffee 'fore I go.
To the valley below.

Your daddy he's an outlaw
And a wanderer by trade
He'll teach you how to pick and choose
And how to throw the blade
He oversees his kingdom
So no stranger does intrude
His voice it trembles as he calls out
For another plate of food.

One more cup of coffee for the road
One more cup of coffee 'fore I go.
To the valley below.

Your sister sees the future 
Like your mama and yourself
You've never learned to read or write
There's no books upon your shelf
And your pleasure knows no limits
Your voice is like a meadowlark
But your heart is like an ocean
Mysterious and dark.

One more cup of coffee for the road
One more cup of coffee 'fore I go.
To the valley below.

Remainings





Well I'll be damned
Here comes your ghost again
But that's not unusual
It's just that the moon is full
And you happened to call
And here I sit
Hand on the telephone
Hearing a voice I'd known
A couple of light years ago
Heading straight for a fall

As I remember your eyes
Were bluer than robin's eggs
My poetry was lousy you said
Where are you calling from?
A booth in the midwest
Ten years ago
I bought you some cufflinks
You brought me something
We both know what memories can bring
They bring diamonds and rust

Well you burst on the scene
Already a legend
The unwashed phenomenon
The original vagabond
You strayed into my arms
And there you stayed
Temporarily lost at sea
The Madonna was yours for free
Yes the girl on the half-shell
Would keep you unharmed

Now I see you standing
With brown leaves falling around
And snow in your hair
Now you're smiling out the window
Of that crummy hotel
Over Washington Square
Our breath comes out white clouds
Mingles and hangs in the air
Speaking strictly for me
We both could have died then and there

Now you're telling me
You're not nostalgic
Then give me another word for it
You who are so good with words
And at keeping things vague
Because I need some of that vagueness now
It's all come back too clearly
Yes I loved you dearly
And if you're offering me diamonds and rust
I've already paid

In my end is my begining




I walk the maze of moments 
But everywhere I turn to begins a new beginning 
But never finds a finish 
I walk to the horizon 
And there I find another 
It all seems so surprising 
And then I find that I know 

Chorus: 
You go there you're gone forever 
I go there I'll lose my way 
If we stay here we're not together 
Anywhere Is 

The moon upon the ocean 
Is swept around in motion 
But without ever knowing 
The reason for its flowing 
In motion on the ocean 
The moon still keeps on moving 
The waves still keep on waving 
And I still keep on going 

Chorus 

I wonder if the stars sign 
the life that is to be mine 
And would they let their light shine 
Enough for me to follow 
I look up to the heavens 
But night has clouded over 
No spark of constellation 
No Vela no Orion 

The shells upon the warm sands 
Have taken from their own lands 
The echo Of Their Story 
But All I hear are low sounds 
As pillow words are weaving 
And willow waves are leaving 
But should I be believing 
That I am only dreaming 

Chorus 

To leave the thread of all time 
And let it make a dark line 
In hopes That I can Still Find 
The way back to the moment 
I took the turn and turned to 
Begin a new beginning 
Still looking for the answer 
I cannot find the finish 
It's either this or that way 
It's one way or the other 
It should be one direction 
It could be on reflection 
The turn I have just taken 
The turn that I was making 
I might be just beginning 
I might be near the end

Wandering in a sky with diamonds




{VERSE 1}
Picture yourself in a boat on a river,
With tangerine trees and marmalade skies.
Somebody calls you, you answer quite slowly,
A girl with kaleidoscope eyes.

Cellophane flowers of yellow and green,
Towering over your head.
Look for the girl with the sun in her eyes,
And she's gone.

{CHORUS}
Lucy in the sky with diamonds,
Lucy in the sky with diamonds,
Lucy in the sky with diamonds,
Ah... Ah...

{VERSE 2}
Follow her down to a bridge by a fountain,
Where rocking horse people eat marshmallow pies.
Everyone smiles as you drift past the flowers,
That grow so incredibly high.

Newspaper taxis appear on the shore,
Waiting to take you away.
Climb in the back with your head in the clouds,
And you're gone.

{CHORUS}

Picture yourself on a train in a station,
With plasticine porters with looking glass ties.
Suddenly someone is there at the turnstile,
The girl with kaleidoscope eyes.

{CHORUS}

{CHORUS FADEING}

Cross the bridge or fade away



(It's all the bridge) 
(It's all the bridge) 
(It's all the bridge for love)

(It's all the bridge) 
(It's all the bridge) 
(It's all the bridge for love)

I've seen the bridge and the bridge is long 
And they built it high and they built it strong 
Strong enough to hold the weight of time 
Long enough to leave some of us behind

And every one of us has to face that day 
Do you cross the bridge or do you fade away? 
And every one of us that ever came to play 
Has to cross the bridge or fade away

Standing on the bridge looking at the waves 
Seen so many jump, never seen one saved 
On a distant beach your song can die 
On a bitter wind, on a cruel tide

And every one of us has to face that day 
Do you cross the bridge or do you fade away? 
And every one of us that ever came to play 
Has to cross the bridge or fade away

And the bridge it shines 
Oh cold hard iron 
Saying come and risk it all 
Or die trying

I've seen the bridge and the bridge is long 
And they built it high and they built it strong 
Strong enough to hold the weight of time 
Long enough to leave some of us behind

And every one of us has to face that day 
Do you cross the bridge or do you fade away? 
And every one of us that ever came to play 
Has to cross the bridge or fade away

And the bridge it shines 
Oh cold hard iron 
Saying come and risk it all 
Or die trying

Standing on the bridge looking at the waves 
Seen so many jump, never seen one saved 
On a distant beach your song can die 
On a bitter wind, on a cruel tide

And every one of us has to face that day 
Do you cross the bridge or do you fade away? 
And every one of us that ever came to play 
Has to cross the bridge or fade away

Has to cross the bridge or fade away 
(It's all the bridge) 
(It's all the bridge) 
(It's all the bridge for love)

(It's all the bridge) 
(It's all the bridge) 
(It's all the bridge for love)

It's all the bridge 
It's all the bridge 
It's all the bridge to fade away

The frog prince


An old fairytale told me
The simple heart will be prized again
A troll will be our king
And ugly ogres our heroes

Then you'll shake
Your fist at the sky
"Oh why did I rely
On fashions and small fry?"

All promises broken
Feed your people or lose your throne
And forfeit your whole kingdom
I'd sooner lose it than still live in it alone

You were our golden child
But the gentle and the mild
Inherit the earth, while

Your prince's crown
Cracks and falls down
Your castle hollow and cold
You've wandered so far
From the person you are
Let go brother, let go
Cos now we all know

Soon, someone will put a spell on you
Perfume, treasure, sorcery, every trick they know
You will lie in a deep sleep
That's when

Your prince's crown
Cracks and falls down
Your castle hollow and cold
You've wandered so far
From the person you are
Let go brother, let go
Cos now we all know

Walk on the water




Late last night, I went for a walk 
Down by the river near my home 
Couldn't believe, with my own eyes 
And I swear I'll never leave my home again 

I saw a man walkin' on the water 
Comin' right at me from the other side 
Callin' out my name, "Do not be afraid" 
Feet begin to run, poundin' in my brain 

I don't want to go 
Oh, I don't want to go 

No, no, no, no and no 
I don't want to go

Sunday morning





Sunday morning
Praise the dawning
It's just a restless feeling by my side
Early dawning
Sunday morning
It's just the wasted years so close behind
Watch out the world's behind you
There's always someone around you who will call
It's nothing at all

Sunday morning
And I'm falling
I've got a feeling I don't want to know
Early dawning
Sunday morning
It's all the streets you crossed, not so long ago
Watch out the world's behind you
There's always someone around you who will call
It's nothing at all

Sunday morning
Sunday morning
Sunday morning

From deep within




I walk the streets alone 
On feeble bones I ride 
My sins are etched in stone 
I got no place to hide 

Well, I was unshakable 
In what I did believe 
I feel so breakable 
But have I been deceived 

You showed me your paradise 
And your carnival of souls 
But my heart keeps telling me 
That ain't the place to go 

Well, I'm not invincible 
So I want you to leave 
Well, I'm so convincible 
But have I been deceived 

I take your words and try them on 
Yeah, it's a perfect fit, boy 
You tell me one size fits us all 
Yeah, like an old straight jacket 
Well, tell me why I'm so afraid 

All my words are spoken 
All my words are spoken 
All my words are spoken 
In a stolen prayer 

I remember yesterday 
When things were black and white 
Never thought I'd get confused 
On what was wrong and right 

Well, I'm not unbreakable 
With armor on my skin 
Well, it's not unthinkable 
I could be fooled again 

I take your words and try them on 
Yeah, it's a perfect fit, boy 
You tell me one size fits us all 
Yeah, like an old straight jacket 
Well, tell me why I'm so afraid 

All my words are spoken 
All my words are spoken 
All my words are spoken 
In a stolen prayer 

You steal another minute from my life 
You cut a little deeper with your knife 
You steal a little breath from my air 
And you don't care 
And even thought I'm choking 
All my words are spoken 

I take your words and try them on 
Yeah, it's a perfect fit, boy 
You tell me one size fits us all 
Yeah, like an old straight jacket 

Take this world and try it on 
Man, you're looking good, boy 
Stick your neck out on the block 
So you won't miss nothing 

Stretch your finger, grab your hair 
Don't you feel like screaming 
Feel the blood rush from your veins 
Now you're a perfect zombie 
Now I'm on my knees 

All my words are spoken 
All my words are spoken 
All my words are spoken 
All my words are spoken 
All my words are spoken 
In a stolen prayer

Sparkles... for everyone


Heaven for Everyone by Queen on Grooveshark

This could be heaven
This could be heaven
This could be heaven for everyone

In these days of cool reflection
You come to me and everything seems alright
In these days of cold affections
You sit by me - and everything's fine

This could be heaven for everyone
This world could be fed, this world can be fun
This could be heaven for everyone
This world could be free, this world can be one

In this world of cool deception
Just your smile can smooth my ride
These troubled days of cruel rejection, hmm
You come to me, soothe my troubled mind

Yeah, this could be heaven for everyone
This world could be fed, this world can be fun
This should be love for everyone,
This world should be free, this world can be one
We should bring love to our daughters and sons
Love, love, love, this could be heaven for everyone
You know that
This could be heaven for everyone
This could be heaven for everyone

Listen - what people do to other souls
They take their lives - destroy their goals
Their basic pride and dignity
Is stripped and torn and shown no pity
When this should be heaven for everyone
