Wow, you ever just connect with a song

---

I like that song.

Do you know Over the Rhine ?

Actually, I've never heard of them but am willing to check them out. :smile:

Here is one of Motorhead's songs...This is the realization I am coming to...I am so unsure of where I am to go and do....Sometimes I wish I could just scream and I would be given guidance.I Ain't No Nice GuyWhen I was young I was the nicest guy I knewI thought I was the chosen oneBut time went by and I found out a thing or twoMy shine wore off as time wore onI thought that I was living out the perfect lifeBut in the lonely hours when the truth begins to biteI thought about the times when I turned my back & stalledI ain't no nice guy after allWhen I was young I was the only game in townI thought I had it down for sure,But time went by and I was lost in what I foundThe reasons blurred, the way unsureI thought that I was living life the only wayBut as I saw that life was more than day to dayI turned around, I read the writing on the wallI ain't no nice guy after allI ain't no nice guy after allIn all the years you spend between your birth and deathYou find there's lots of times you should have saved your breathIt comes as quite a shock when that trip leads to fall----------------------------------------------------------------------------------I lied when I said I have not cried in a long timeI am no man for saying that I have notMy path is blured, it is a bad stormy nightI just want to be given guidance.....Someone to be my guiding lightTo show me what I have been missingWho will be that person?Who will be that love?The part after the end of the nice guy lyrics is my attempt to describe how I have been feeling...I am the happiest unhappy guy.

Simple Man the shinedown version originally done by lynard skynard [Mama told me when I was youngCome sit beside me, my only sonAnd listen closely to what I say.And if you do thisIt will help you some sunny day.Take your time... Don't live too fast,Troubles will come and they will pass.Go find a woman and you'll find love,And don't forget son,There is someone up above.(Chorus)And be a simple kind of man.Be something you love and understand.Be a simple kind of man.Won't you do this for me son,If you can?Forget your lust for the rich man's goldAll that you need is in your soul,And you can do this if you try.All that I want for you my son,Is to be satisfied.(Chorus)Boy, don't you worry... you'll find yourself.Follow you heart and nothing else.And you can do this if you try.All I want for you my son,Is to be satisfied.(Chorus) ]

Renegade by Styx Oh mamma I'm in fear for my life from the long arm of the lawLawman has put an end to my running and I'm so far from my homeOh mamma I can hear you crying you're so scared and all aloneHangman is coming down from the gallows and I don't have verylongCHORUSThe jig is up the news is out they've finally found meThe renegade who had it made retrieved for a bountyNever more to go astrayThis will be the end today of the wanted manOh mamma I've been years on the lambAnd had a high price on my headLawman said get him dead or aliveNow it's for sure he'll see me deadDear mamma I can hear you cryingYou're so scared and all aloneHangman is coming down from the gallowsAnd I don't have very longCHORUS

and If I'm Not Made for You by Daniel Bedingfield when im with or thinking of my girlfriend (and if anyone laughs i will kick your ass with my psychic powers! jk) If you're not the one then why does my soul feel glad today?If you're not the one then why does my hand fit yours this way?If you are not mine then why does your heart return my callIf you are not mine would I have the strength to stand at allI never know what the future brings But I know you are here with me nowWe'll make it through And I hope you are the one I share my life withI don't want to run away but I can't take it, I don't understandIf I'm not made for you then why does my heart tell me that I am?Is there any way that I can stay in your arms?If I don't need you then why am I crying on my bed?If I don't need you then why does your name resound in my head?If you're not for me then why does this distance maim my life?If you're not for me then why do I dream of you as my wife?I don't know why you're so far away But I know that this much is trueWe'll make it through And I hope you are the one I share my life withAnd I wish that you could be the one I die withAnd I pray in you're the one I build my home withI hope I love you all my lifeI don't want to run away but I can't take it, I don't understandIf I'm not made for you then why does my heart tell me that I amIs there any way that I can stay in your arms?'Cause I miss you, body and soul so strong that it takes my breath awayAnd I breathe you into my heart and pray for the strength to stand today'Cause I love you, whether it's wrong or rightAnd though I can't be with you tonightAnd know my heart is by your sideI don't want to run away but I can't take it, I don't understandIf I'm not made for you then why does my heart tell me that I amIs there any way that I

So Im lisstening to some Tom Waits I got on my laptop, one song started and as soon as i heard the first few otes i thught of Helms, Im betting he connects pretty well with it...Tom Waits, Shiver me Timbers, from the "Heart of Saturday Night" I'm leavin' my fam'lyLeavin' all my friendsMy body's at homeBut my heart's in the windWhere the clouds are like headlinesOn a new front page skyMy tears are salt waterAnd the moon's full and highAnd I know Martin Eden'sGonna be proud of meAnd many before meWho've been called by the seaTo be up in the crow's nestSingin' my sayShiver me TimbersCause I'm a-sailin' awayAnd the fog's liftin'And the sand's shiftin'I'm driftin' on outOl' Captain AhabHe ain't got nothin' on me, now.So swallow me, don't follow meI'm trav'lin' aloneBlue water's my daughter'n I'm gonna skip like a stoneSo please call my missusGotta tell her not to cryCause my goodbye is writtenBy the moon in the skyHey and nobody knows meI can't fathom my stayin'Shiver me timbersCause I'm a-sailin' awayAnd the fog's liftin'And the sand's shiftin'I'm driftin' on outOl' Captain AhabHe ain't got nothin' on meSo come and swallow me, follow meI'm trav'lin' aloneBlue water's my daughter'n I'm gonna skip like a stoneAnd I'm leavin' my familyLeavin' all my friendsMy body's at homeBut my heart's in the windWhere the clouds are like headlinesUpon a new front page skyAnd shiver me timbersCause I'm a-sailin' away

yeah... it's like he reads my mind with these lyrics...

In the time of chimpanzees I was a monkey
Butane in my veins and I'm out to cut the junkie
With the plastic eyeballs, spray-paint the vegetables
Dog food skulls with the beefcake pantyhose
Kill the headlights and put it in neutral
Stock car flamin' with a loser and the cruise control
Baby's in reno with the vitamin d
Got a couple of couches, sleep on the love-seat
Someone came in sayin' I'm insane to complain
About a shotgun wedding and a stain on my shirt
Don't believe everything that you breathe
You get a parking violation and a maggot on your sleeve
So shave your face with some mace in the dark
Savin' all your food stamps and burnin' down the trailer park

Yo. cut it.

Soy un perdedor
I'm a loser baby, so why don't you kill me?

(double barrel buckshot)
Soy un perdedor
I'm a loser baby, so why don't you kill me?

Forces of evil on a bozo nightmare
Ban all the music with a phony gas chamber
'cuz one's got a weasel and the other's got a flag
One's on the pole, shove the other in a bag
With the rerun shows and the cocaine nose-job
The daytime crap of the folksinger slob
He hung himself with a guitar string
A slab of turkey-neck and it's hangin' from a pigeon wing
You can't write if you can't relate
Trade the cash for the beef for the body for the hate
And my time is a piece of wax fallin' on a termite
who's chokin' on the splinters

wow... heavy...

oh, and c'mon, don't tell me your eyes don't well up everytime you hear this song.

I'm a lumberjack, and I'm okay.
I sleep all night and I work all day.

MOUNTIES:
He's a lumberjack, and he's okay.
He sleeps all night and he works all day.

I cut down trees. I eat my lunch.
I go to the lavatory.
On Wednesdays I go shoppin'
And have buttered scones for tea.

MOUNTIES:
He cuts down trees. He eats his lunch.
He goes to the lavatory.
On Wednesdays he goes shopping
And has buttered scones for tea.

He's a lumberjack, and he's okay.
He sleeps all night and he works all day.

BARBER:
I cut down trees. I skip and jump.
I like to press wild flowers.
I put on women's clothing
And hang around in bars.

MOUNTIES:
He cuts down trees. He skips and jumps.
He likes to press wild flowers.
He puts on women's clothing
And hangs around in bars?!

He's a lumberjack, and he's okay.
He sleeps all night and he works all day.

BARBER:
I cut down trees. I wear high heels,
Suspendies, and a bra.
I wish I'd been a girlie,
Just like my dear Papa.

MOUNTIES:
He cuts down trees. He wears high heels,
Suspendies, and a bra?!

[talking]
What's this? Wants to be a girlie?! Oh, My!
And I thought you were so rugged! Poofter!...
:grin: :grin: :grin:

just kidding!
