Hoist the Colours

The king and his men stole the queen from her bed
and bound her in her Bones.
The seas be ours and by the powers
where we will we'll roam.

Yo, ho, all hands.
Hoist the colours high.
Heave ho, thieves and beggars,
never shall we die.

Yo, ho, haul together.
Hoist the colours high.
Heave ho, thieves and beggars,
never shall we die.

Some have died and some are alive
others sail on the sea
– with the keys to the cage...
and the Devil to pay
we lay to Fiddler's Green!

The bell has been raised from its watery grave...
Hear its sepulchral tone.
A call to all, pay heed the squall
and turn your sail to home!

Yo, ho, haul together.
Hoist the colours high.
Heave ho, thieves and beggars,
never shall we die.

[NB: a song from pirate of the caribbean ]

blowin' in the wind

How many roads must a man walk down
Before you call him a man?
Yes, 'n' how many seas must a white dove sail
Before she sleeps in the sand?
Yes, 'n' how many times must the cannon balls fly
Before they're forever banned?
The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind,
The answer is blowin' in the wind.

How many times must a man look up
Before he can see the sky?
Yes, 'n' how many ears must one man have
Before he can hear people cry?
Yes, 'n' how many deaths will it take till he knows
That too many people have died?
The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind,
The answer is blowin' in the wind.

How many years can a mountain exist
Before it's washed to the sea?
Yes, 'n' how many years can some people exist
Before they're allowed to be free?
Yes, 'n' how many times can a man turn his head,
Pretending he just doesn't see?
The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind,
The answer is blowin' in the wind.

- Bob Dylan

Edelweiss

"Edelweiss, edelweiss
Ev'ry morning you greet me
Small and white
Clean and bright
You look happy to meet me

Blossom of snow
May you bloom and grow
Bloom and grow forever
Edelweiss, edelweiss
Bless my homeland forever." - Sound of Music

Why does my heart cry?

Roxanne, you dont have to put on that red light
Walk the streets for money
You dont care if its wrong or if it is right.

Roxanne, you dont have to wear that dress tonight.
Roxanne, you dont have to sell your body to the night.

His eyes upon your face
His hand upon your hand
His lips caress your skin
Its more than I can stand,
Roxanne

And I who love you so much; what am I going to do?
You left me...you left me like a dove
My soul has left me; my heart has left me
I no longer wish to live because I cannot convince you
Not to sell yourself, Roxanne.

Why does my heart cry?
Feelings I cant fight

You're free to leave me
But just dont deceive me
And please Believe me when I say
I love you.

will you send me an angel

...Hear this voice from deep inside
It's the call of your heart
Close your eyes and your will find
The passage out of the dark

Here I am
Will you send me an angel
Here I am
In the land of the morning star.... (the scorpion)

i sometimes wonder how people are telling the words of my heart! did i meet with them? or everybody has the same prayers deep inside, to be saved by the angel? does this happen to everybody that one song or a poem rings a bell and says hey its ur song! before listening to the song i didnt realize that i wanted to pray the same prayer. isnt it a wonder that somebody else had to remind me what my wish might look like! :-? may be an angel was sent to me. i just didnt recognize her(!). let me change the lyrics a little -

here i am
will you send me an angel
let her shine like a star
dont let her go too far

ugh.... i see. this is the reason i shouldnt write lyrics...

Faint - Linkin Park

I am, A little bit of loneliness
A little bit of disregard
Handful of complaints
But I can't help the fact
That everyone can see these scars

I am, What I want you to want
What I want you to feel
But it's like no matter what I do
I can't convince you
To just believe this is real

So I, Let go watching you, Turn your back like you always do
Face away and pretend that I'm not, But I'll be here cause
You are all that I've got

I can't feel the way I did before, Don't turn your back on me, I won't be ignored
Time won't take, this damage anymore, Don't turn your back on me
I won't be ignored

I am, A little bit insecure, A little unconfident
'Cause you don't understand, I do what I can
But sometimes I don't make sense

I am, What you never want to say, But I've never had a doubt
But it's like no matter what I do, I can't convince you
For once just to hear me out

So I, Let go, Watching you
Turn your back like you always do
Face away and pretend that I'm not
But I'll be here cause you're all that I got

I can't feel, The way I did before, Don't turn your back on me
I won't be ignored,
Time won't take, this damage anymore, Don't turn your back on me
I won't be ignored

Noooo!

Hear me out now, You're gonna listen to me, Like it or not, Right now
Hear me out now, You're gonna listen to me, Like it or not, Right now

I can't feel, The way I did before, Don't turn your back on me
I won't be ignored!
I can't feel, The way I did before, Don't turn your back on me
I won't be ignored
Time won't take, This damage anymore, Don't turn your back on me
I won't be ignored

I can't feel, Don't turn your back on me
I won't be ignored
Time won't take, Don't turn your back on me
I won't be ignored..

Torn- Natalie Imbruglia

I thought I saw a man brought to life
He was warm
He came around like he was dignified
He showed me what it was to cry
Well you couldn't be that man I adored
You don't seem to know
Seem to care what your heart is for
But I don't know him anymore
There's nothing where he used to lie
The conversation has run dry
That's what's going on
Nothing's fine I'm torn

I'm all out of faith
This is how I feel
I'm cold and I am shamed
Lying naked on the floor
Illusion never changed
Into something real
I'm wide awake
And I can see
The perfect sky is torn
You're a little late
I'm already torn

So I guess the fortune teller's right
i Should have seen just what was there
And not some holy light
its crawled beneath my veins
And now I don't care
I had no luck
I don't miss it all that much
There's just so many things
That I can touch I'm torn

I'm all out of faith
This is how I feel
I'm cold and I am shamed
Lying naked on the floor
Illusion never changed
Into something real
I'm wide awake
And I can see
The perfect sky is torn
You're a little late
I'm already torn
Torn

hoooooooooo hohooooooo hohoooo

There's nothing where he used to lie
My inspiration has run dry
That's what's going on
Nothing's right I'm torn

I'm all out of faith
This is how I feel
I'm cold and I am shamed
Lying naked on the floor
Illusion never changed
Into something real
I'm wide awake
And I can see
The perfect sky is torn

I'm all out of faith
This is how I feel
I'm cold and I'm ashamed
Bound and broken on the floor
You're a little late
I'm already torn
Torn.

Oh

Dream lover

"Every night I hope and pray a dream lover will come my way
A girl to hold in my arms and know the magic of her charms
'cause I want (yeah-yeah yeah) a girl (yeah-yeah yeah)
to call (yeah-yeah yeah) my own (yeah-yeah)
I want a dream lover so I don't have to dream alone

Dream lover, where are you with a love, oh, so true?
And I hand that can hold, to feel you near as I grow old?
'cause I want (yeah-yeah yeah) a girl (yeah-yeah yeah)
to call (yeah-yeah yeah) my own (yeah-yeah)
I want a dream lover so I don't have to dream alone

Someday, I don't know how, I hope she'll hear my plea
Some way, I don't know how, she'll bring her love to me

Dream lover, until then, I'll go to sleep and dream again
That's the only thing to do, till all my lover's dreams come true
'cause I want (yeah-yeah yeah) a girl (yeah-yeah yeah)
to call (yeah-yeah yeah) my own (yeah-yeah)
I want a dream lover so I don't have to dream alone

Dream lover, until then, I'll go to sleep and dream again
That's the only thing to do, till all my lover's dreams come true
'cause I want (yeah-yeah yeah) a girl (yeah-yeah yeah)
to call (yeah-yeah yeah) my own (yeah-yeah)
I want a dream lover so I don't have to dream alone

Please don't make me dream alone
I beg you don't make me dream alone
No, I don't wanna dream"


NB: another favourite song of mine..;-)

High hopes- pink floyd

Beyond the horizon of the place we lived when we were young
In a world of magnets and miracles
Our thoughts strayed constantly and without boundary
The ringing of the division bell had begun
Along the long road and on down the causeway
Do they still meet there by the cut
There was a ragged band that followed in our footsteps
Running before time took our dreams away
Leaving the myriad small creatures trying to tie us to the ground
To a life consumed by slow decay

The grass was greener
The light was brighter
With friends surrounded
The nights of wonder

Looking beyond the embers of bridges glowing behind us
To a glimpse of how green it was on the other side
Steps taken forwards but sleepwalking back again
Dragged by the force of some inner tide
At a higher altitude with flag unfurled
We reached the dizzy heights of that dreamed of world

****

Encumbered forever by desire and ambition
There's a hunger still unsatisfied
Our weary eyes still stray to the horizon
though down this road we've been so many times

The grass was greener
The light was brighter
The taste was sweeter
The nights of wonder
With friends surrounded
The dawn mist glowing
The water flowing
The endless river

Forever and ever
