Simon & Garfunkel - "Flowers Never Bend With The Rainfall."

Through the corridors of sleep
Past the shadows dark and deep
My mind dances and leaps in confusion.
I don't know what is real,
I can't touch what I feel
And I hide behind the shield of my illusion.

So I'll continue to continue to pretend
My life will never end,
And flowers never bend
With the rainfall.

The mirror on my wall
Casts an image dark and small
But I'm not sure at all it's my reflection.
I am blinded by the light
Of God and truth and right
And I wander in the night without direction.

So I'll continue to continue to pretend
My life will never end,
And flowers never bend
With the rainfall.

It's no matter if you're born
To play the king or pawn
For the line is thinly drawn 'tween joy and sorrow,
So my fantasy becomes reality,
And I must be what I must be and face tomorrow.

So I'll continue to continue to pretend
My life will never end,
And flowers never bend
With the rainfall.

Warrel Dane - "Your Chosen Misery."

When the ones you love have let you down
Feel failure and wear the fool's crown
Remember still there is a blessing
Within the hardest lesson

You self serving, arrogant sycophant
Your selfish acts, thoughtless tasks and livid rants
Every time you want to make the world go away
Just take an injection of your chosen misery

And when I fall
I have the strength to learn the steps
And crawl into the pain
Sometimes the mirror is cruel
If your mother gave the lesson
Never waste the truth

You self serving, arrogant sycophant
Your selfish acts, thoughtless tasks and livid rants
Every time you want to make the world go away
Just take an injection of your chosen misery

Yesterday was plagued with rain
Like seven drops of velvet pain
Hail yesterday
Thursday was the day of sin
Friday silent hell began
Hail yesterday

Saturday was plagued with rain - I played the jester perfectly, hail yesterday
Sunday never came to mind - I played the jester perfectly when misery delivered me
Monday's afterthought was blind - I played the jester perfectly, hail yesterday
Tuesday stole the show - I played the jester perfectly when misery delivered me

Hail yesterday
Hail yesterday

Tuesday stole the show when Wednesday killed the golden crow.

Skid Row - "Face Against My Soul."

How can I see tomorrow if you keep me in the dark
When will I see forever if you damn me from the start
There must be a way to get through to your
Blackened heart

You build a wall inside a wall and there's no door

Lay your body by the water
Press your face against my soul
Wading through all your convictions
We can come in from the cold

Searching greener pastures, finding desert sands
Cycles on the treadmill turn up empty hands
Do I have to bloodlet just to get another chance

Inside of you there's a view that sees me there

Lay your body by the water
Press your face against my soul
Wading through all your convictions
We can come in from the cold

Lay your body by the water
Press your face against my soul
Wading through all your convictions
We can come in from the cold.

Nickelback - "Savin' Me."

Prison gates won't open up for me
On these hands and knees I'm crawlin'
Oh, I reach for you
Well I'm terrified of these four walls
These iron bars can't hold my soul in
All I need is you
Come please I'm callin'
All I scream for you
Hurry I'm fallin', I'm fallin'

Show me what it's like
To be the last one standing
And teach me wrong from right
And I'll show you what I can be
And say it for me
Say it to me
And I'll leave this life behind me
Say it if it's worth saving me

Heaven's gates won't open up for me
With these broken wings I'm fallin'
And all I see is you
These city walls ain't got no love for me
I'm on the ledge of the eighteenth story
And all I scream for you
Come please I'm callin'
And all I need from you
Hurry I'm fallin', I'm fallin'

Show me what it's like
To be the last one standing
And teach me wrong from right
And I'll show you what I can be
And say it for me
Say it to me
And I'll leave this life behind me
Say it if it's worth saving me

Hurry I'm fallin'

All I need is you
Come please I'm callin'
And all I scream for you
Hurry I'm fallin', I'm fallin', I'm fallin'

Show me what it's like
To be the last one standing
And teach me wrong from right
And I'll show you what I can be
And say it for me
Say it to me
And I'll leave this life behind me
Say it if it's worth saving me

Show me what it’s like
To be the last one standing
And teach me wrong from right
And I’ll show you what I can be

And say it for me
Say it to me
And I’ll leave this life behind me
Say it if it’s worth savin' me
Hurry I’m falling

And say it for me
Say it to me
And I’ll leave this life behind me
Say it if it’s worth savin' me

Fairport Convention - "After Halloween."

Red and gold and Halloween have passed us by
The charcoal branches lean against the rosy sky
You are so far away and I could touch you if I may
But don't you worry now, I'm only dreaming anyway

You may be lonely, you may be just on your own
It could be anywhere, some place that I have known
But who am I and do we really live these days at all
And are they simply feelings we have learnt and do recall

Oh, the sea has made me cry
But I love her too, so maybe I love you
Tears are only made of salt and water
And across the waves the sound of laughter

October has gone and left me with a song
That I will sing to you although the moment may be wrong
Could it be the sea's as real as you and I?
I often wonder why I always have to say
I'm only dreaming anyway

Could it be the sea's as real as you and I?
I often wonder why I always have to say
I'm only dreaming anyway

Kirsty MacColl - "Halloween."

I must have fallen on my feet
A hundred times or more
I heard the wind blow down the street
The knocking at the door

But there was no one there
Though I looked everywhere
So was it all a dream?
Oh Halloween

The spirits of the past
The costumes and the masks
The shipwrecks and the ghosts
From up and down the coast

They've all come back to see
If we were meant to be
We can't escape our dreams
Oh Halloween

You must have followed me back home
And hid behind my back
No one could find me on their own
I'm off the beaten track

Well I was scared before
But I'm afraid no more
And nothing's as it seems
Halloween

The spirits of the past
The costumes and the masks
To me they don't disguise
The presence in your eyes

They turn their heads to see
If we were meant to be
A nightmare or a dream
Oh Halloween

Bon Jovi - "Bed Of Roses."

Sitting here wasted and wounded
At this old piano
Trying hard to capture the moment
This morning I don't know
'Cause a bottle of vodka
Is still lodged in my head
And some blonde gave me nightmares
I think that she's still in my bed
As I dream about movies
They won't make of me when I'm dead

With an ironclad fist I wake up and
French kiss the morning
While some marching band
Keeps its own beat in my head
While we're talking
About all of the things that I long to believe
About love and the truth
And what you mean to me
And the truth is, baby you're all that I need

I want to lay you down on a bed of roses
For tonight I sleep on a bed of nails
I want to be just as close as the Holy Ghost is
And lay you down on a bed of roses

Well I'm so far away
That each step that I take is on my way home
A king's ransom in dimes I'd given each night
Just to see through this payphone
Still I run out of time
Or it's hard to get through
Till the bird on the wire flies me back to you
I'll just close my eyes and whisper,
Baby blind love is true

I want to lay you down on a bed of roses
For tonight I sleep on a bed of nails
I want to be just as close as the Holy Ghost is
And lay you down on a bed of roses

The hotel bar, hangover, whiskey's gone dry
The barkeeper's wig's crooked
And she's giving me the eye
I might have said yeah
But I laughed so hard I think I died

Now as you close your eyes
Know I'll be thinking about you
While my mistress, she calls me
To stand in her spotlight again
Tonight I won't be alone
But you know that don't mean I'm not lonely
I've got nothing to prove
For it's you that I'd die to defend

I want to lay you down on a bed of roses
For tonight I sleep on a bed of nails
I want to be just as close as the Holy Ghost is
And lay you down on a bed of roses

I want to lay you down on a bed of roses
For tonight I sleep on a bed of nails
I want to be just as close as the Holy Ghost is
And lay you down on a bed of roses.
