Objects in the rear view mirror - Meatloaf
only registered users can see external links The skys were pure and the fields were green And the sun was brighter than it's ever been When I grew up with my best friend, Kenny We were close as any brothers that you ever knew It was always summer and the future called We were ready for adventures and we wanted them all And there was so much left to dream And so much time to make it real But I can still recall the sting of all the tears when he was gone They say he crashed and burned, I swear I'll never learn Why any boy should die so young We were racing; we were soldiers of fortune We got in trouble but we sure got around There are times I think I see him peeling out of the dark I think he's right behind me now, and he's gaining ground But it was long ago, and it was far away Oh God, it seems so very far And if life is just a highway, then the soul is just a car And objects in the rear view mirror may appear closer than they are And objects in the rear view mirror may appear closer than they are And objects in the rear view mirror may appear closer than they are And objects in the rear view mirror may appear closer than they are They are And when the sun descended and the night arose I heard my father cursing everyone he knows He was dangerous and druk and defeated And corroded by failure and envy and hate There were endless winters and the dreams would freeze No where to hide and no leaves on the trees And my father's eyes were blank as he hit me again and again and again I know I still believe he'd never let me leave, I had to run away alone So many threats and fears, so many wasted years Before my life became my own And though the nightmares should be over Some of the terrors are still intact I'll hear that ugly, coarse, and violent voice And then he grabs me from behind, and then he pulls me back But it was long ago, and it was far away Oh God, it seems so very far And if life is just a highway, then the soul is just a car And objects in the rear view mirror may appear closer than they are And objects in the rear view mirror may appear closer than they are And objects in the rear view mirror may appear closer than they are And objects in the rear view mirror may appear closer than they are They are There was a beauty living on the edge of town She always put the top up and the hammer down And she taught me everything I'll ever know About the mystery and the muscle of love The stare would glimmer and the moon would glow I'm in the back seat with my Julie like Romeo And the signs along the highway all said Caution! Kids at play! Those were the rights of spring and we did everything There was salvation every night We got dreams reborn and our upholstery torn But everything we tried was right She used her body just like a bandage She use my BODY just like a wound I'll probably never know where she disappeared But I can see rising up out of the back seat now Just like an angel rising out of a tomb But it was long ago, and it was far away Oh God, it seems so very far And if life is just a highway, then the soul is just a car And objects in the rear view mirror may appear closer than they are And objects in the rear view mirror may appear closer than they are And objects in the rear view mirror may appear closer than they are And objects in the rear view mirror may appear closer than they are And objects in the rear view mirror may appear closer than they are And objects in the rear view mirror may appear closer than they are And objects in the rear view mirror may appear closer than they are And objects in the rear view mirror may appear closer than they are And objects in the rear view mirror may appear closer than they are She used her body just like a bandage She used my body just like a wound I'll probably never know where she disappeared But I can see her rising up out of the back seat now... |

Artificial flowers - The Beautiful South
only registered users can see external links Alone in the world was poor little Anne As sweet a young child as you'd find. Her parents had gone to their final reward Leavin' their baby behind. This poor little child was only nine years of age When mother and dad went away; Still brav-el-y worked At the one thing she knew To earn her few pennies a day. She made artificial flowers, artificial flowers, Flowers for ladies of fashion to WEAR; She made artificial flowers, you know those artificial flowers, Fashions from Annie's despair. With paper and shears, with some wire and wax She made up each tulip and mum. As snowflakes drifted into her tenement room Her baby little fingers grew numb. From makin' artificial flowers, those artificial flowers Flowers for ladies of high fashion to wear. She made artificial flowers, artificial flowers Made from Annie's despair. They found little Annie all covered in ice Still clutchin' her poor frozen shears Amidst all the blossoms she had fashioned by hand And watered with all her young tears. There must be a heaven where little Annie can play In heavenly gardens and bowers. And instea-a-ad of a halo she'll wear 'round her head A garland of genuine flowers. No more artificial flowers; Throw away those artificial flowers, Flowers for ladies of society to wear. Throw away those artificial flowers, Those dumb-dumb flowers, Fashioned from Annie's, Fashioned from A-a-a-annie's Des-pa-a-a-air. (Give her the real thing!) |

Ghost RIDERS in the sky Their faces gaunt, their eyes were blurred, their shirts all soaked with sweat He's ridin' hard to catch that herd, but he ain't caught 'em yet 'Cause they've got to ride forever on that range up in the sky On horses snortin' fire, as they ride on, hear their cry As the riders loped on by him, he heard one call his name "If you wanna save your soul from Hell, a-ridin' on our range Then cowboy, change your ways today, or with us you will ride Tryin' to catch the Devil's herd, across these endless skies" Yippie-yi-oh, yippie-yi-aie!

Paper Sun - Traffic
only registered users can see external links So you think you're having good times With the boy that you just met Kicking sand from beach to beach Your CLOTHES all soaking wet But if you look around and see Your shadow on the run Don't be too upset because It's just a paper sun Oh paper sun Oh paper sun In the room where you've been sleeping All your clothes are thrown about Cigarettes burn window sills Your meter's all run out But there again it's nothing You just split when day is done Hitching lifts to nowhere Hung up on the paper sun Oh paper sun Oh paper sun Standing in the cool of my room Fresh cut flowers give me sweet perfume Too much sun will burn! When you're feeling tired and lonely You see people going home You can't make the train fare Or the sixpence for the phone And icicles you're crying Down your cheek have just begun Don't be sad, good times are had Beneath the paper sun Oh paper sun Oh paper sun Daylight breaks while you sleep on the sand A seagull is stealing the ring from your hand The boy who had given you so much fun Has left you so cold in the paper sun |

Slipping through my fingers - ABBA
only registered users can see external links [Verse 1] Schoolbag in hand, she leaves home in the early morning Waving goodbye with an absent-minded smile I watch her go with a surge of that well-known sadness And I have to sit down for a while [Pre-Chorus] The feeling that I'm losing her forever And without really entering her world I'm glad whenever I can share her laughter That funny little girl [Chorus] Slipping through my fingers all the time I try to capture every MINUTE The feeling in it Slipping through my fingers all the time Do I really see what's in her mind? Each time I think I'm close to knowing She keeps on growing Slipping through my fingers all the time [Verse 2] Sleep in our eyes, her and me at the breakfast table Barely awake, I let precious time go by Then when she's gone, there's that odd melancholy feeling And a sense of guilt I can't deny [Pre-Chorus] What happened to the wonderful adventures The places I had planned for us to go? (Slipping through my fingers all the time) Well, some of that we did, but most we didn't And why, I just don't know [Chorus] Slipping through my fingers all the time I try to capture every minute The feeling in it Slipping through my fingers all the time Do I really see what's in her mind? Each time I think I'm close to knowing She keeps on growing Slipping through my fingers all the time [Bridge] Sometimes I wish that I could freeze the picture And save it from the funny tricks of time Slipping through my fingers [Interlude] [Outro] Slipping through my fingers all the time Schoolbag in hand, she leaves home in the early morning Waving goodbye with an absent-minded smile |
