Won’t Get Fooled Again
Friday, February 20th, 2009 | Author: markross

We’ll be fighting in the streets
With our children at our feet
And the morals that they worship will be gone
And the men who spurred us on
Sit in judgement of all wrong
They decide and the shotgun sings the song

I’ll tip my hat to the new constitution
Take a bow for the new revolution
Smile and grin at the change all around
Pick up my guitar and play
Just like yesterday
Then I’ll get on my knees and pray
We don’t get fooled again

The change, it had to come
We knew it all along
We were liberated from the fold, that’s all
And the world looks just the same
And history ain’t changed
‘Cause the banners, they are flown in the next war

I’ll tip my hat to the new constitution
Take a bow for the new revolution
Smile and grin at the change all around
Pick up my guitar and play
Just like yesterday
Then I’ll get on my knees and pray
We don’t get fooled again
No, no!

I’ll move myself and my family aside
If we happen to be left half alive
I’ll get all my papers and smile at the sky
Though I know that the hypnotized never lie
Do ya?

There’s nothing in the streets
Looks any different to me
And the slogans are replaced, by-the-bye
And the parting on the left
Are now parting on the right
And the beards have all grown longer overnight

I’ll tip my hat to the new constitution
Take a bow for the new revolution
Smile and grin at the change all around
Pick up my guitar and play
Just like yesterday
Then I’ll get on my knees and pray
We don’t get fooled again
Don’t get fooled again
No, no!

 

Meet the new boss
Same as the old boss

The Who, Who’s Next, 1971

The Way I Feel About You
Tuesday, January 20th, 2009 | Author: markross

No matter what I write, no matter what I say, no one will ever feel this way, the way I feel about you.
No matter how near, no matter how far, no matter where you are, you’ll always be with me girl.
 
You may not believe me, I’m telling you it’s true, you were made for me and I was made for you.
 
You know it’s true.

I Wish I Knew Your Name
Tuesday, January 13th, 2009 | Author: markross

I wish, I wish I knew your name, but you don’t feel the same. I try to turn you on, but you look the other way. When I look into your eyes, it makes me want to cry. I’ve met a lot of girls, but it really doesn’t matter, ’cause you’re the one I want, yes you’re the one I need.
 
Pride, I act like I don’t care, but inside I’m hurt and scared. I feel so insecure, my world is caving in. I need to fall in love, but I know I won’t forget you. You’re always in my dreams and there you’ll stay forever.
 
Time, they say it heals all wounds, but this one’s way too deep; and every girl I meet, makes me think of you love. What am I to do? I wish I never met you, but now I must go on and try to live without you.

Achilles Last Stand
Sunday, December 28th, 2008 | Author: markross

It was an April morning when they told us we should go
As I turn to you, you smiled at me
How could we say no?
 
With all the fun to have, to live the dreams we always had
Oh, the songs to sing, when we at last return again
 
Sending off a glancing kiss, to those who claim they know
Below the streets that steam and hiss,
The devil’s in his hole
 
Oh to sail away, To sandy lands and other days
Oh to touch the dream, Hides inside and never seen.
 
Into the sun the south the north, at last the birds have flown
The shackles of commitment fell, In pieces on the ground
 
Oh to ride the wind, To tread the air above the din
Oh to laugh aloud, Dancing as we fought the crowd
 
To seek the man whose pointing hand, The giant step unfolds
With guidance from the curving path, That churns up into stone
 
If one bell should ring, in celebration for a king
So fast the heart should beat, As proud the head with heavy feet.
 
Days went by when you and I, bathed in eternal summers glow
As far away and distant, Our mutual child did grow
 
Oh the sweet refrain, Soothes the soul and calms the pain
Oh Albion remains, sleeping now to rise again
 
Wandering & wandering, What place to rest the search
The mighty arms of Atlas, Hold the heavens from the earth
 
The mighty arms of Atlas, Hold the heavens from the earth
From the earth…
 
I know the way, know the way, know the way, know the way
Oh the mighty arms of Atlas, Hold the heavens from the earth.

Forgiveness
Sunday, December 21st, 2008 | Author: markross

We’ve got to change, we’ve got to rearrange our thoughts and turn around our minds.
Now we’ve loss Amy, we still have each other, why can’t we be together?
 
Forgiveness is the answer, if we put our hearts to it, we might just get through it.
Pride, it’s going to kill you, if we don’t tear down the walls, they may just grow too tall.

The Rain Song
Saturday, December 20th, 2008 | Author: markross

This is the springtime of my loving-
The second season I am to know
You are the sunlight in my growing-
So little warmth Ive felt before.
It isnt hard to feel me glowing-
I watched the fire that grew so low.
 
It is the summer of my smiles-
Flee from me keepers of the gloom.
Speak to me only with your eyes
It is to you I give this tune.
Aint so hard to recognize-
These things are clear to all from
Time to time. ooooh…
 
Talk talk-
Ive felt the coldness of my winter
I never thought it would ever go
I cursed the gloom that set upon us…
But I know that I love you so
But I know that I love you so.
 
These are the seasons of emotion
And like the winds they rise and fall
This is the wonder of devotion-
I see the torch we all must hold.
This is the mystery of the quotient-
Upon us all a little rain
Must fall.
Just a little rain?
Ooooh, yeah yeah yeah!

Take His Hand
Tuesday, December 02nd, 2008 | Author: markross

Take his hand and walk with him, he’ll
guide you to the light. The pain is
gone, the struggle’s over, there’s no
more need to fight.
 
In better places you will dwell,
eternal life is yours; the earthly pain
that you went through, at last will be no more.
 
Every day’s a new day and still I think
of you, and there’s nothing better that
I would rather do.
 
I hope and I pray there will come a day
when I’ll be by your side, and there you
will be waiting for me, when this world I leave behind.

Embrace
Tuesday, December 02nd, 2008 | Author: markross

Every time I’d see your face,
it’s like a brand new paradise,
and though your love I can’t replace,
it’s a new love that I must embrace.
 
Every time I’d see you smile,
it seemed to make my life worth while,
though in my mind I know we’re through,
I’ll always feel a part of you.
 
And all those years I spent with you,
only lead to someone new.
Through all those years and all the tears,
your laughter still rings through my ears.
 
And now I never see that face
that sent me to that special place
And though our love I can’t replace,
it’s a new love that I must embrace.

In My Life
Tuesday, December 02nd, 2008 | Author: markross

There are places i’ll remember
All my life though some have changed
Some forever not for better
Some have gone and some remain
 
All these places have their moments
With lovers and friends I still can recall
Some are dead and some are living
In my life i’ve loved them all
 
But of all these friends and lovers
There is no one compares with you
And these memories lose their meaning 
When I think of love as something new
 
Though i know i’ll never lose affection
For people and things that went before
I know i’ll often stop and think about them
In my life I love you more
 
Though I know i’ll never lose affection
For people and things that went before
I know i’ll often stop and think about them
In my life I love you more

There Was A Time
Tuesday, November 18th, 2008 | Author: markross

There was a time when I’d say how much I love (you). There was a time when you opened your heart and you’d say I love you (too).
 
Now you’re gone, what went wrong, why didn’t you see, we were so meant to be? I know if we tried, we could have made it right. How did it end this way, and what could we have changed?
 
There was a time when I’d give the world to (you). There was a time when I knew you would for me (too).
 
And you moved home, we’re all alone. Is that the way it should be, and do you think of me? I know I think of you, what else can we do, to make it right again? You were my closest friend.
 
There was a time when I’d trust in you so (much). There was a time when you’d trust in me (too).
 
Nothing is the same, since you went away. Do you reach for that phone, when you’re feeling all alone? And on the coldest nights, will you wish I was there? To feel your warmth again, must it be the end?
 
There was a time when I’d think and speak the world of (you). There was a time when I hoped you’d say I do.

Are You There
Wednesday, November 05th, 2008 | Author: markross

Are you there, do you care,
do you think of me, like I think of you?
 
Are you there, do you care,
should I worship you, do you want me to?
 
Are you there, do you care,
did you create me, did we create you?
 
Are you there, do you care,
did you die for me, should I cry for you?
 
Are you there, am I scared,
is there another way, are you the only way?
 
Are you there, in my prayers,
can I talk to you, will you talk to me?
