These are song clips that, in my view, qualify as poetry. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Todd Agnew: My Jesus My Jesus bled and died He spent His time with thieves and liars He loved the poor and accosted the arrogant . . . Pretty blue eyes, curly brown hair and a clear complexion Is how you see Him as He dies for Your sins But the Word says He was battered and scarred Or did you miss that part? Sometimes I doubt we’d recognize Him . . . Cause my Jesus would never be accepted in my church The blood and dirt on His feet might stain the carpet But He reached for the hurting and despises the proud I think He’d prefer Beal St. to the stained glass crowd But I know that He can hear me if I cry out loud ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Matchbox 20: Unwell I'm not crazy, I'm just a little unwell I know right now you can't tell But stay awhile and maybe then you'll see A different side of me I'm not crazy, I'm just a little impaired I know right now you don't care But soon enough you're gonna think of me And how I used to be... ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Goo Goo Dolls: Acoustic #3 They painted up your secrets with the lies they told to you, and the least they ever gave you was the most you ever knew. And I wonder where these dreams go when the world gets in your way. What's the point in all this screaming? No one's listening anyway. Your voice is small and fading, and you're hiding in your room. And your mother loves your father, cuz she's got no where to go, and she wonders where these dreams go cuz the world got in her way. What's the point in ever trying? Nothing's changing anyway. They press their lips against you and you love them as they say and I tried so hard to reach you, but you're falling anyway. And you know I see right through you, cuz the world gets in your way. What's the point in all this singing? you're not listening anyway. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Paradigm: All Together Separate Everybody loves a rose, will you be thankful for the thorns? Love is easy when you're loved, do you curse another when you're alone? You say live and let live, but people are dying every day... You say... what I don't know won't hurt me but what if what I do not know is the very thing I need? ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Celine Dion: That's the Way it Is When you want it the most there's no easy way out... when you're ready to go and your heart's left in doubt... don't give up on your faith, love comes to those who believe it and that's the way it is When life is empty, with no tomorrow lone leader starts to cry... baby don't worry, forget your sorrow cuz love's gonna conquer it all... ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Vertical Horizon: Everything You Want He is everything you want He is everything you need He is everything inside of you that you wish you could be He says all the right things at exactly the right time But he means nothing to you and you don't know ...why ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Paula Cole: Me I am not the person that is singing...I am the silent one inside I am not the one that laughs at peoples jokes...I just pacify their egos I am not my house, my job, my car...they.. are just stops along my way... I am like the winter, I'm a cold dark female... with a golden ring of wisdom in my cave and it's me who is the enemy... me..who..beats..me..up... me who makes the monsters... me who strips my confidence... I am carrying my voice; I am carrying my heart; I am carrying my rhythm; I am carrying my prayers ...but you can't kill my spirit, it's sullen and it's strong... like a mountain I"ll go on and on but when my wings are folded, the brightly colored moth, blends into the dirt in the ground... I am walking on the bridge...I am over the water and I'm scared as hell, but I know there's something better yes I know there's something better... ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Mariah Carey: Butterfly Spread your wings and prepare to fly... (for) you will be..come a butterfly oh whoa fly away and leave me to decide if you... should return to me, we truly were meant to be so whoa spread your wings and fly...butterfly ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Eve6: Inside Out I burn burn like a wicker cabinet... chalk white and oh so frail... I see our time has gotten stale... the tick-tock of the clock is painful all sane and logical...I wanna tear it off the wall hear words and clips and phrases, think sick like ginger-ale... my stomach turns and I exhale I would swallow my pride I would choke on the rind but the lack thereof would leave me empty inside I would swallow my doubt...turn it inside out... find nothing but faith in nothing wanna put my tender heart in a blender... watch it spin around to a beautiful oblivian rendez-vous then I'm through with you... ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Rod Stewart (Mann/Hill): Somtimes When We Touch You ask me if I love you, and I choke on my reply... I'd rather hurt you honestly, than mislead you with a lie. And who am I to judge you on what you say or do? I'm only just beginning, to see the real you... And somtimes when we touch, the honesty's too much, and I have to close my eyes and hide I wanna hold you til I die, til we both break down and cry I wanna hold you, til the fear in me subsides ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Limp Bizkit: Re-Arranged Life is overwhelming...heavy is the head that wears the crown I'd love to be the one to disappoint you when I don't fall down... You don't understand when...I'm attempting to explain Because you know it all and I guess things will never change But you might need my hand when...you're falling in your hole Your disposition I'll remember when I'm letting go... of you...and me...we're through...and...re..ar..ranged ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Third Eye Blind: Jumper the angry boy a bit too insane, icing over a secret pain, you know you don't belong you're the first to fight, you're way too loud you're the flash of light on a burial shroud I know somethin's wrong... well everyone I know has got a reason, to say...put the past away wish you would step back from that ledge my friend you could, cut ties with all the lies that you've been livin' in and...if you do not want to see me again...I would understand... |
