i dont know about you guys, but i love quoting songs, so put your favorites in here
Since im listening to it now
Since you've gone I've been lost without a trace
I dream at night
I can only see your face
I look around but it's you I can't replace
I feel so cold and I long for your embrace
I keep crying baby, baby please
~The Police
My favorite lyrics is the Love is a Temple, love the higher law part in one, and everything after that

I feel so drained, my legacy.

I never felt magic crazy as this
I never saw moons knew the meaning of the sea
I never held emotion in the palm of my hand
Or felt sweet breezes in the top of a tree
But now you're here
Brighten my northern sky.

Both these songs helped me through some tough times in my teens;
In this blues I'm singing, there's a lesson to be learned
you go round smoking, you're gonna get burned
Tell me what have I done wrong?
Nothing can go right with me must be that I've been smoking too long.
Been Smoking To Long - Nick Drake
Every morning my eyes will open wide
I gotta get high before I go outside.
Roll another for breakfast
Burning clouds around and in my solar plexus.
Hang on.
Hang on.
To your IQ.

If I could make a deal with God
and get him to swap our places
I'd be running down that road
running up that hill
running up that building.

Mmm that's actually a cover from a Kate Bush song she wrote it. Great song by the way

I've never seen you looking so lovely as you did tonight
I've never seen you shine so bright
I've never seen so many men ask you if you wanted to dance
They're looking for a little romance, given half a chance
I have never seen that dress you're wearing
Or the highlights in your head that catch your eyes I have been blind
The lady in red is dancing with me cheek to cheek
There's nobody here, it's just you and me, It's where I wanna be
But I hardly know this beauty by my side
I'll never for get, the way you look tonight
I've never seen you looking so gorgeous as you did tonight
I've never seen you shine so bright you were amazing
I've never seen so many people want to be there by your side
And when you turned to me and smiled, It took my breath away
I have never had such a feeling
Such a feeling of complete and utter love, as I do tonight
The way you look tonight
I never will forget, the way you look tonight
The lady in red
The lady in red
The lady in red
My lady in red (I love you.)

Fortress aroun your heart
Under the ruins of a walled city
Crumbling towers and beams of yellow light
No flags of truce, no cries of pity
The siege guns had been pounding all through the night
It took a day to build the city
We walked through its streets in the afternoon
As I returned across the lands I'd known
I recognized the fields where I'd once played
I had to stop in my tracks for fear
Of walking on the mines I'd laid
And if I built this fortress around your heart
Encircled you in trenches and barbed wire
Then let me build a bridge
For I cannot fill the chasm
And let me set the battlements on fire
Then I went off to fight some battle
That I'd invented inside my head
Away so long for years and years
You probably thought or even wished that I was dead
While the armies are all sleeping
Beneath the tattered flag we'd made
I had to stop in my track for fear
Of walking on the mines I'd laid
And if I built this fortress around your heart
Encircled you in trenches and barbed wire
Then let me build a bridge
For I cannot fill the chasm
And let me set the battlements on fire
This prison has now become your home
A sentence you seem prepared to pay
It took a day to build the city
As I returned across the lands I'd known
I recognized the fields where I'd once played
I had to stop in my tracks for fear
Of walking on the mines I'd laid
And if I built this fortress around your heart
Encircled you in trenches and barbed wire
Then let me build a bridge
For I cannot fill the chasm
And let me set the battlements on fire

I don't know why you're mean to me,
when i call you on the telephone.
And I don't know what you mean to me.
But I wanna turn you on, turn you up, figure you out. I wanna take you on.
- 'Strange Currencies' by R.E.M.
Don't run back inside, darling, you know just what I'm here for.
So you're scared and you're thinking that maybe we ain't that young anymore.
Well, show a little faith, there's magic in the night.
You ain't a beauty, but hey, you're alright. Oh, and that's all right with me.
- 'Thunder Road' by Springsteen
Don't you ever ask them why.
If they told you , you would cry.
So just look at them and sigh,
And know they love you.
- 'Teach Your Children' by Crosby, Stills and Nash (Good advice for any parent.)
