And if you don't love me now
You will never love me again
I can still hear you saying
You would never break the chain

Born down in a dead man's town
First kick I tool was when I hit the ground
End up like a dog that's been beat too much
Til you spend half your life just coverin' up

Born in the U S A...

Come wash the nighttime clean,
Come grow this scorched ground green,
Blow the horn, and tap the tambourine
Close the gap of the dark years in between
You and me, Cassidy...

H:

Hey you! Out there in the cold,
Getting lonely, getting old, can you feel me?
Hey you! Standing in the aisles,
With itchy feet and fading smiles, can you feel me?
Hey you! Don't help them to bury the light.
Don't give in without a fight.

Pink Floyd - Hey You

For sorrow, the only lover I've ever known

Like a bird on a wire
Like a drunk in a midnight choir
I have tried in my own way to be free
Like a worm on a hook
Like a knight from some old fashioned book
I have saved all my ribbons just for you

Rita Coolidge - "Bird on the Wire"

Money can't buy love, it is true
But what it can't buy I can't use, I want money

[Miss_Cassidy]

Never opened myself this way
Life is ours, we live it our way
All these words I don't just say
And nothing else matters

Trust I seek and I find in you
Every day for us something new
Open mind for a different view
And nothing else matters

Never cared for what they do
Never cared for what they know
But I know

So close no matter how far
Couldn't be much more from the heart
Forever trusting who we are
And nothing else matters

Metallica - Nothing Else Matters

 

[elli1]

Oh thunder in my heart
These razors cutting sharp
And leaves me with an ever bleeding scar

So soft, so suddenly
So that I can not breathe
I'm drawn into a circle painted black

Oh I'm hanging high
Oh won't you let me down
Back where I started at
You know I'm a little lost

lykke li - hanging high

 

[texou]

Oh what a night
Late December back in '63
What a very special time for me
As I remember what a night

Pour some sugar on me
Ooh, in the name of love
Pour some sugar on me
C'mon, fire me up
Pour your sugar on me
Oh, I can't get enough

I'm hot, sticky sweet
From my head to my feet, yeah

Def Leppard - "Pour some sugar on me"

Thats another one of my stripper songs -- product of the 80s and 90s! *cannot help self*

Awww you conquered the deadly Q!! Nice!

Reach out your hand if your cup be empty,
If your cup is full may it be again,
Let it be known there is a fountain,
That was not made by the hands of men.

There is a road, no simple highway,
Between the dawn and the dark of night,
And if you go no one may follow,
That path is for your steps alone.

Ripple in still water,
When there is no pebble tossed,
Nor wind to blow.

You, who choose to lead, must follow
But if you fall you fall alone.
If you should stand then who's to guide you?
If I knew the way I would take you home.

The Grateful Dead - Ripple

 

[mamasota]

Save me Save me Save me
I can't face this life alone
Save me Save me
I'm naked and I'm far from home


Q U E E N - Save Me

 

[BrokenRomantic]

The Naked and Famous - Young Blood

The bittersweet between my teeth
Trying to find the in-betweens
Fall back in love eventually
Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah

Can't help myself but count the flaws
Claw my way out through these walls
One temporary escape
Feel it start to permeate

We lie beneath the stars at night
Our hands gripping each other tight
You keep my secrets hope to die
Promises, swear them to the sky

 

[Miss_Cassidy]

Under pressure
That burns a building down
Splits a family in two
Puts people on streets

[BrokenRomantic]

A Perfect Circle - Passive

Wake up and face me
Don't play dead
Cause maybe
Some day, I will walk away and say
You disappoint me
Maybe you're better off this way

(skipping x )

You're on the rocks
Would you like to get some?
I'm kind of straight
Where do you come from?
I'm always right but what's your perception?
I'm kind of shy
Oh, didn't he mention?

I don't even know you
You're just someone new I don't want to talk to
You're wild, I don't find you crazy at all

the vaccines - wolf pack
