http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cdB9lTUyshM




time keeps on slippin',
slippin', slippin'
into the future
time keeps on slippin', slippin', slippin'
into the future

i want to fly like an eagle
to the sea
fly like an eagle
let my spirit carry me
i want to fly like an eagle
till i'm free
oh,
oh, through the revolution

feed the babies
who don't have enough to eat
shoe the children
with no shoes on their feet
house the people
livin' in the street
oh, oh, there's a solution


i want to fly like an eagle
to the sea
fly like an eagle
let my spirit carry me
i want to fly like an eagle
till i'm free
fly through the revolution


time keeps on slippin', slippin', slippin'
into the future . . .

Tom Petty - Learning To Fly

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s5BJXwNeKsQ




well i started out
down a dirty road
started out
all alone
and the sun went down
as i crossed the hill
and the town lit up
the world got still

i'm learning to fly
but i ain't got wings
coming down
is the hardest thing

well the good ole days
may not return
and the rocks might melt
and the sea may burn

i'm learning to fly
but i ain't got wings
coming down
is the hardest thing


well some say life
will beat you down
break your heart
steal your crown
so i've started out
for god knows where
i guess i'll know
when i get there

i'm learning to fly
around the clouds
but what goes up
must come down

i'm learning to fly
but i ain't got wings
coming down
is the hardest thing
. . .

pink floyd - learning to fly

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xb-Nacm-pKc




Into the distance, a ribbon of black
Stretched to the point of no turning back
A flight of fancy on a windswept field
Standing alone my senses reeled
A fatal attraction holding me fast, how
Can I escape this irresistible grasp?
Can't keep my eyes from the circling skies
Tongue-tied and twisted just an earth-bound misfit, I

Ice is forming on the tips of my wings
Unheeded warnings, I thought I thought of everything
No navigator to guide my way home
Unladened, empty and turned to stone
A soul in tension that's learning to fly
Condition grounded but determined to try
Can't keep my eyes from the circling skies
Tongue-tied and twisted just an earth-bound misfit, I

Above the planet on a wing and a prayer,
My grubby halo, a vapour trail in the empty air,
Across the clouds I see my shadow fly
Out of the corner of my watering eye
A dream unthreatened by the morning light
Could blow this soul right through the roof of the night
There's no sensation to compare with this
Suspended animation, A state of bliss
Can't keep my eyes from the circling skies
Tongue-tied and twisted just an earth-bound misfit, I

Guns N' Roses - November Rain

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8SbUC-UaAxE




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
yeahhh . . .
but lovers always come
and lovers always go
and 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
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

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

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

don't ya think that you
need somebody
don't ya think that you
need someone
everybody needs somebody

Kansas - Carry On Wayward Son

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CB17uWuBrL0




Once I Rose Above The Noise And Confusion
Just To Get A Glimpse Beyond This Illusion
I Was Soaring Ever Higher, But I Flew Too High
Though My Eyes Could See I Still Was A Blind Man
Though My Mind Could Think I Still Was A Mad Man
I Hear The Voices When I'm Dreaming
I Can Hear Them Say

Carry On Our Wayward Son,
There'll Be Peace When You Are Done
Lay Your Weary Head To Rest
Don't You Cry No More

Masquerading As A Man With A Reason
My Charade Is The Event Of The Season
And If I Claim To Be A Wise Man
It Surely Means That I Don't Know
On A Stormy Sea Of Moving Emotion
Tossed About I'm Like A Ship On The Ocean
I Set A Course For Winds Of Fortune
But I Hear The Voices Say

Carry On Our Wayward Son
There'll Be Peace When You Are Done
Lay Your Weary Head To Rest
Don't You Cry No More

Carry On
You Will Always Remember
Carry On
Nothing Equals The Splendor
Now Your Life's No Longer Empty
Surely Heaven Waits For You

Carry On Our Wayward Son
There'll Be Peace When You Are Done
Lay Your Weary Head To Rest
Don't You Cry No More

No More

eagles - hotel california

http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x1971g_eagles-hotel-california_music



on a dark desert highway, cool wind in my hair
warm smell of colitas rising up through the air
up ahead in the distance, i saw a shimmering light
my head grew heavy, and my sight grew dim
i had to stop for the night
there she stood in the doorway
i heard the mission bell
i was thinking to myself,
'this could be heaven or this could be hell'
then she lit up a candle and she showed me the way
there were voices down the corridor,
i thought i heard them say . . .

'welcome to the hotel california'
'such a lovely place' (such a lovely place)
'such a lovely face'
'there's plenty of room at the hotel california'
'any time of year' (any time of year)
'you can find it here'

her mind is tiffany-twisted
she's got the mercedes benz
she's got a lot of pretty, pretty boys, she calls friends
how they dance in the courtyard, sweet summer sweat
some dance to remember, some dance to forget
so I called up the captain, 'please bring me my wine'
he said, 'we haven't had that spirit here since 1969'
and still those voices are calling from far away
wake you up in the middle of the night
just to hear them say . . .

'welcome to the hotel california'
'such a lovely place' (such a lovely place)
'such a lovely face'
they living it up at the hotel california
what a nice surprise (
what a nice surprise)
bring your alibis

mirrors on the ceiling, pink champagne on ice
and she said 'we are all just prisoners here, of our own device'
and in the master's chambers, they gathered for the feast
they stab it with their steely knives, but they just can't kill the beast
last thing i remember, i was running for the door
i had to find the passage back to the place i was before
'relax' said the night man, 'we are programed to receive'
'you can check out any time you like, but you can never leave'

Atlanta Rhythm Section - So Into You

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9q35DzUMwKY





When you walked into the room
There was voodoo in the vibes
I was captured by your style
But I could not catch your eyes
Now I stand here helplessly
Hoping you'll get into me

I am so into you
I can't think of nothing else
I am so into you
I can't think of nothing else

Thinking how it's gonna be
Whenever I get you next to me
It's gonna be good, don't you know
From your head to your toe
Gonna love you all over
Over and over
Me into you, you into me, me into you

When you walked into the room
There was voodoo in the vibes
I was captured by your style
But I could not catch your eyes
Now I stand here helplessly
Hoping you'll get into me


I am so into you
I can't get to nothing else
I am so into you baby
I can't get to nothing else
C'mon baby
I'm so into you
Love the things ya do
Let's go baby
Driving me crazy
I'm so into you . . .

Aerosmith - Sweet Emotion

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6yGCHPmfqT0





Sweet Emotion
Sweet Emotion

You talk about things that nobody cares
You're wearing out things that nobody wears
You're calling my name but I gotta make clear
I can't say baby where I'll be in a year

When Some Sweat Hog mama with a face like a gent
Said my get up and go musta got up and went
Well I got good news, she's a real good liar
'Cause the backstage boogie set your pants on fire

Sweet Emotion
Sweet Emotion

When I pulled into town in a police car
Your daddy said I took it just a little too far
You're telling me things but your girlfriend lied
You can't catch me 'cause the rabbit done died
Yes it did

You stand in the front just a shakin' your ass
I'll take you backstage, you can drink from my glass
I'll talk about somethin' you can sure understand
'Cause a month on the road and I'll be eaten from your hand

Alice in Chains - Check My Brain




So I found myself in the sun, oh yeah
A hell of a place to end a run, oh yeah

California, I'm fine
Somebody check my brain

California's all right

When she sang I answered the call, oh yeah

Somebody check my brain

California's all right
Somebody check my brain

Ahhhhhhh
Tears that filled my bong
Ahhhhhhh
Years expended gone

Somebody check my brain

California's all right
Somebody check my brain

Ahhhhhhh
Tears that filled my bong
Ahhhhhhh
Years expended gone

Check my brain (x3)

waiting on a sunday afternoon
for what i read between the lines
your lies
feelin' like a hand in rusted shame
so do you laugh at those who cry?
reply?

leavin' on a southern train
only yesterday you lied
promises of what i seemed to be
only watched the time go by
all of these things you said to me

breathing is the hardest thing to do
with all i've said and
all that's dead for you
you lied
good bye

leavin' on a southern train
only yesterday you lied
promises of what i seemed to be
only watched the time go by
all of these things i said to you

1974 . . . ooohhhhhhh the memorys . . .

http://youtu.be/vQjH1EADMp0



Well, I'm running down the road
Tryin' to loosen my load
I've got seven women on my mind
Four that wanna own me
Two that wanna stone me
One says she's a friend of mine

Take it easy
Take it easy
Don't let the sound of your own wheels
Drive you crazy

Lighten up while you still can
Don't even try to understand
Just find a place to make your stand
And take it easy

Well, I'm a standing on a corner
In Winslow, Arizona
And such a fine sight to see
It's a girl, my lord
In a flatbed Ford
Slowin' down to take a look at me

Come on, baby
Don't say maybe
I gotta know if your sweet love
Is gonna save me

We may lose and we may win
Though we will never be here again
So open up, I'm climbin' in
And take it easy

Well I'm running down the road
Tryin' to loosen my load
Got a world of trouble on my mind
Lookin' for a lover
Who won't blow my cover
She's so hard to find

Take it easy
Take it easy
Don't let the sound of your own wheels
Make you crazy

Come on, baby
Don't say maybe
I gotta know if your sweet love
Is gonna save me

ooh
ooh ooh . . .
Oh we got it easy
We oughta take it easy . . .

Santana - Smooth

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MXp413NynFk





Man it's a hot one
Like seven inches from the midday sun
Well I hear you whisper and the words melt everyone
But you stay so cold
My mu equita
My Spanish Harlem Mona Lisa
You're my reason for reason
The step in my groove, yeah

And if you said this life ain't good enough
I would give my world to lift you up
I could change my life to better suit your mood
'Cause you're so smooth

And it's just like the ocean under the moon
Well that's the same as the emotion that I get from you
You got the kind of lovin' that can be so smooth, yeah
Gimme your heart. Make it real
Or else forget about it

Well I'll tell you one thing
If you would leave it'd be a crying shame
In every breath and every word I hear your name calling me out
Well out from the barrio you hear my rhythm on your radio
You feel the turning of the world so soft and slow
Turning you round and round

And if you said this life ain't good enough
I would give my world to lift you up
I could change my life to better suit your mood
'Cause you're so smooth

And it's just like the ocean under the moon
Well that's the same as the emotion that I get from you
You got the kind of lovin' that can be so smooth, yeah
Gimme your heart. Make it real
Or else forget about it

And it's just like the ocean under the moon
Well that's the same as the emotion that I get from you
You got the kind of lovin' that can be so smooth, yeah
Gimme your heart. Make it real
Or else forget about it

Or else forget about it
Or else forget about it
Oh, let's don't forget about it
(Gimme your heart, make it real, or else forget about it)
Oh, let's don't forget about it
Let's don't forget about it, yeah
Oh, no, no
Oh, let's don't forget about it . . .

Eric Clapton - White Room

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rvnWuOjJDh4





In the white room with black curtains near the station
Blackroof country, no gold pavements, tired starlings
Silver horses ran down moonbeams in your dark eyes
Dawnlight smiles on you leaving, my contentment

I'll wait in this place where the sun never shines
Wait in this place where the shadows run from themselves

You said no strings could secure you at the station
Platform ticket, restless diesels, goodbye windows
I walked into such a sad time at the station
As I walked out, felt my own need just beginning

I'll wait in the queue when the trains come back
Lie with you where the shadows run from themselves

At the party she was kindness in the hard crowd
Consolation for the old wound now forgotten
Yellow tigers crouched in jungles in her dark eyes
She's just dressing, goodbye windows, tired starlings

I'll sleep in this place with the lonely crowd
Lie in the dark where the shadows run from themselves

Pink Floyd - Comfortably Numb

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JWnapx502uQ





Hello,
Is there anybody in there?
Just nod if you can hear me
Is there anyone home?

Come on
Now
I hear you're feeling down
I can ease your pain
Get you on your feet again

Relax
I'll need some information first
Just the basic facts
Can you show me where it hurts?

There is no pain you are receding
A distant ship's smoke on the horizon
You are only coming through in waves
Your lips move
But I can't hear what you're saying

When I was a child I had a fever
My hands felt just like
Two balloons
Now I've got that feeling once again
I can't explain
You would not understand
This is not how I am

I . . . Have become comfortably numb

O.K.
Just a little pin prick
There'll be no more aaaaaaaaah!
But you may feel a little sick

Can you stand up?
I do believe it's working
Good
That'll keep you going through the show
Come on
It's time to go

There is no pain you are receding
A distant ship's smoke on the horizon
You are only coming through in waves
Your lips move
But I can't hear what you're saying

When I was a child
I caught a fleeting glimpse
Out of the corner of my eye

I turned to look but it was gone
I cannot put my finger on it now
The child is grown
The dream is gone

I . . . Have become comfortably numb

Sixx A.M. - Life Is Beautiful

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PYlS_kmxES0



you can't quit until you try
you can't live until you die
you can't learn to tell the truth
until you learn to lie

you can't breathe until you choke
you gotta laugh when you're the joke
there's nothing like a funeral to make you feel alive

just open your eyes
just open your eyes
and see that life is beautiful
will you swear on your life
that no one will cry at my funeral?

i know some things that you don't
i've done things that you won't
there's nothing like a trail of blood to find your way back home

i was waiting for my hearse
what came next was so much worse
it took a funeral to make me feel alive

just open your eyes
just open your eyes
and see that life is beautiful
will you swear on your life
that no one will cry at my funeral? . . .

Three Days Grace - Break

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_4VCpTZye10





Tonight my head is spinning
I need something to pick me up
I've tried but nothing is working
I won't stop, I won't say I've had enough

Tonight I start the fire
Tonight I break away

Break away from everybody
Break away from everything
If you can't stand the way this place is
Take yourself to higher places

At night I feel like a vampire
It's not right but I just can't give it up
I'll try to get myself higher
Let's go we're going to light it up

Tonight we start the fire
Tonight we break away

Break away from everybody
Break away from everything
If you can't stand the way this place is
Take yourself to higher places


If you can't stand the way this place is

Break away from everything
If you can't stand the way this place is
Take yourself to higher places


Higher places
To higher places
Higher places
Take yourself to higher places
