Cat Stevens (my very best favorite) My lady d’arbanville, why do you sleep so still? I’ll wake you tomorrow And you will be my fill, yes, you will be my fill. My lady d’arbanville why does it grieve me so? But your heart seems so silent. Why do you breathe so low, why do you breathe so low, My lady d’arbanville why do you sleep so still? I’ll wake you tomorrow And you will be my fill, yes, you will be my fill. My lady d’arbanville, you look so cold tonight. Your lips feel like winter, Your skin has turned to white, your skin has turned to white. My lady d’arbanville, why do you sleep so still? I’ll wake you tomorrow And you will be my fill, yes, you will be my fill. La la la la la.... My lady d’arbanville why does it grieve me so? But your heart seems so silent. Why do you breathe so low, why do you breathe so low, I loved you my lady, though in your grave you lie, I’ll always be with you This rose will never die, this rose will never die. I loved you my lady, though in your grave you lie, I’ll always be with you This rose will never die, this rose will never die.

Neil Young Heart of Gold I want to live, I want to give I’ve been a miner for a heart of gold. It’s these expressions I never give That keep me searching for a heart of gold And I’m getting old. Keeps me searching for a heart of gold And I’m getting old. I’ve been to hollywood I’ve been to redwood I crossed the ocean for a heart of gold I’ve been in my mind, it’s such a fine line That keeps me searching for a heart of gold And I’m getting old. Keeps me searching for a heart of gold And I’m getting old. Keep me searching for a heart of gold You keep me searching for a heart of gold And I’m getting old. I’ve been a miner for a heart of gold

Carouselambra - Led Zeppelin Sisters of the way-side bide their time in quiet peace, Await their place within the ring of calm; Still stand to turn in seconds of release, Await the call they know may never come. In times of lightness, no intruder dared upon To jeopardize the course, upset the run; And all was joy and hands were raised toward the sun As love in the halls of plenty overrun. Still in their bliss unchallenged mighty feast, Unending dances shadowed on the day. Within their walls, their daunting formless keep, Preserved their joy and kept their doubts at bay. Faceless legions stood in readiness to weep, Just turn a coin, bring order to the fray; And everything is soon no sooner thought than deed, But no one seemed to question in anyway. How keen the storied hunter's eye prevails upon the land To seek the unsuspecting and the weak; And powerless the fabled sat, too smug to lift a hand Toward the foe that threatened from the deep. Who cares to dry the cheeks of those who saddened stand Adrift upon a sea of futile speech? And to fall to fate and make the 'status plan' *** But no one there had heaven within their reach. ***Singin'... Where was your word, where did you go? Where was your helping, where was your bow? Bow. Dull is the armour, cold is the day. Hard was the journey, dark was the way. Way. I heard the word; I couldn't stay. Oh. I couldn't stand it another day, another day, Another day, another day. Touched by the timely coming, Roused from the keeper's sleep, Release the grip, throw down the key. Held now within the knowing, Rest now within the peace. Take of the fruit, but guard the seed. They had to stay! Held now within the knowing, Rest now within the beat. Take of the fruit, but guard the seed... *** Take of the fruit, but guard the seed...

Bet you like this Em too:) Pink Floyd Wish You Were Here So, so you think you can tell Heaven from Hell, blue skies from pain. Can you tell a green field from a cold steel rail? A smile from a veil? Do you think you can tell? And did they get you to trade your heroes for ghosts? Hot ashes for trees? Hot air for a cool breeze? Cold comfort for change? And did you exchange a walk on part in the war for a lead role in a cage? How I wish, how I wish you were here. We're just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl, year after year, Running over the same old ground. What have you found? The same old fears. Wish you were here.

Green Day Good Riddance Another turning point A fork stuck in the road Time grabs you by the wrist Directs you where to go So make the best of this test And don’t ask why It’s not a question But a lesson learned in time It’s something unpredictable But in the end is right I hope you had the time of your life So take the photographs And still frames in your mind Hang it on a shelf of Good health and good time Tattoos of memories And dead skin on trial For what it’s worth It was worth all the while It’s something unpredictable But in the end is right I hope you had the time of your life It’s something unpredictable But in the end is right I hope you had the time of your life It’s something unpredictable But in the end is right I hope you had the time of your life

KING CRIMSON MoonChild Call her moonchild Dancing in the shallows of a river Lovely moonchild Dreaming in the shadow Of the willow. Talking to the trees of the Cobweb strange Sleeping on the steps of a fountain Waving silver wands to the Night-birds song Waiting for the sun on the mountain. She’s a moonchild Gathering the flowers in a garden. Lovely moonchild Drifting on the echoes of the hours. Sailing on the wind In a milk white gown Dropping circle stones on a sun dial Playing hide and seek With the ghosts of dawn Waiting for a smile from a sun child

Guns n Roses November Rain When I look into your eyes I can see a love restrained But darlin' when I hold you Don't you know I feel the same 'Cause nothin' lasts forever And we both know hearts can change And it's hard to hold a candle In the cold November rain We've been through this such a long long time Just tryin' to kill the pain But lovers always come and lovers always go An no one's really sure who's lettin' go today Walking away If we could take the time to lay it on the line I could rest my head Just knowin' that you were mine All mine So if you want to love me then darlin' don't refrain Or I'll just end up walkin' In the cold November rain Do you need some time...on your own Do you need some time...all alone Everybody needs some time...on their own Don't you know you need some time...all alone I know it's hard to keep an open heart When even friends seem out to harm you But if you could heal a broken heart Wouldn't time be out to charm you Sometimes I need some time...on my own Sometimes I need some time...all alone Everybody needs some time...on their own Don't you know you need some time...all alone And when your fears subside And shadows still remain, ohhh yeahhh I know that you can love me When there's no one left to blame So never mind the darkness We still can find a way 'Cause nothin' lasts forever Even cold November rain Don't ya think that you need somebody Don't ya think that you need someone Everybody needs somebody You're not the only one You're not the only one

Deep Purple child in Time The story of a loser - it could be you. Sweet child in time you’ll see the line The line that’s drawn between the good and the bad See the blind man shooting at the world Bullets flying taking toll If you’ve been bad, lord I bet you have And you’ve been hit by flying lead You’d better close your eyes and bow your head And wait for the ricochet

Metallica Nothing else matters So close no matter how far Couldn’t be much more from the heart Forever trusting who we are And nothing else matters Never opened myself this way Life is ours, we live it our way All these words I don’t just say And nothing else matters Trust I seek and I find in you Every day for us something new Open mind for a different view And nothing else matters Never cared for what they do Never cared for what they know But I know So close no matter how far Couldn’t be much more from the heart Forever trusting who we are And nothing else matters Never cared for what they do Never cared for what they know But I know Never opened myself this way Life is ours, we live it our way All these words I don’t just say And nothing else matters Trust I seek and I find in you Every day for us something new Open mind for a different view And nothing else matters Never cared for what they say Never cared for games they play Never cared for what they do Never cared for what they know And I know So close no matter how far Couldn’t be much more from the heart Forever trusting who we are No nothing else matters

These lyrics aren't as good as they should be cos the song is soo brilliantly crafted it can't appear as it should (there would be too many bracketed bits lol) New Order Subculture I like walking in the park When it gets late at night I move `round in the dark And leave when it gets light I sit around by day Tied up in chains so tight These crazy words of mine So wrong they could be - What do I get out of this? I always try, I always miss One of these days you’ll go back to your home You won’t even notice that you are alone One of these days when you sit by yourself You’ll realise you can’t shaft without someone else In the end you will submit It’s got to hurt a little bit I like talking in my sleep When people work so hard They need what they can’t keep A choice that leaves them scarred A room without a view Unveils the truth so soon And when the sun goes down You’ve lost what you had What do I get out of this? I always try, I always miss One of these days you’ll go back to your home You won’t even notice that you are alone One of these days when you sit by yourself You’ll realise you can’t shaft without someone else In the end you will submit It’s got to hurt a little bit

Depeche Mode Policy of Truth You had something to hide Should have hidden it, shouldn’t you Now you’re not satisfied With what you’re being put through It’s just time to pay the price For not listening to advice And deciding in your youth On the policy of truth Things could be so different now It used to be so civilised You will always wonder how It could have been if you’d only lied It’s too late to change events It’s time to face the consequence For delivering the proof In the policy of truth Never again Is what you swore The time before Never again Is what you swore The time before Now you’re standing there tongue tied You’d better learn your lesson well Hide what you have to hide And tell what you have to tell You’ll see your problems multiplied If you continually decide To faithfully pursue The policy of truth Never again Is what you swore The time before Never again Is what you swore The time before

Need to add to this quick as people keep adding my favourites:) REM Strange Currencies I don’t know why you’re mean to me When I call on the telephone And I don’t know what you mean to me But I want to turn you on, turn you up, figure you out, I want to take you on These words, you will be mine These words, you will be mine all the time The fool might be my middle name But I’d be foolish not to say I’m going to make whatever it takes, Ring you up, call you down, sign your name, secret love, Make it rhyme, take you in, and make you mine These words, you will be mine These words, you will be mine all the time, oh I tripped and fell. did I fall? What I want to feel, I want to feel it now You know with love come strange currencies And here is my appeal: I need a chance, a second chance, a third chance, a fourth chance, A word, a signal, a nod, a little breath Just to fool myself, to catch myself, to make it real, real These words, you will be mine These words, you will be mine all the time, oh These words, you will be mine These words, they haunt me, hunt me down, catch in my throat, make me pray, Say, love’s confined, oh

Subhumans. 'Susan' Susan finished school at 16 Wants to be a secretary 2 years later she's got nowhere Ends up in a factory Making matches it's so boring She gets sad and so depressed Hears her doctor smugly tell her 'Take these pills and get some rest' But she takes it one step further Parents rescue her in time Smile and tell her 'When you're married Everything will be just fine' She recovers and gets married further shuts the closing door Though he says 'I really love you' She feels worse off than before 9 months later she's a mother It's a bouncing baby boy 'Oh how super!' say her parents But for her there is no joy Words like mummy don't mean nothing It's all she hears from 9 to 5 All alone at number 19 Every single day she dies 19 years of hollow cliche Now she wants to end it all Bored to death from doing nothing Family drives her up the wall Swinging Susan hanged herself She couldn't live her pointless life He comes home to see through tears The rigid corpse that was his wife The life and times of Susan Strange Ended in that tragic way With the money from insurance The family went on holiday Nothing left but rotting flowers On an unattended grave The epitaph has faded badly No one reads it anyway Steve.

'HURT' - NINE INCH NAILS I hurt myself today, to see if I could feel I focus on the pain, the only thing that's real The needle tears a hole, the old familiar sting Try to kill it all away, but I remember everything. What have I become, my sweetest friend Everyone I know, goes away in the end You could have it all, my empire of dirt I will let you down, I will make you hurt. I wear this crown of shit, upon my liar's chair Full of broken thoughts, I cannot repair Beneath the stain of time, the feeling disappears You are someone else, I am still right here. What have I become, my sweetest friend Everyone I know, goes away in the end You could have it all, my empire of dirt I will let you down, I will make you hurt. If I could start again, a million miles away I would keep myself, I would find a way. *So do I report myself now or what? Patty
