Thumbs up Just a song...

that makes me feel good, though it is sung entirely in Latin by those darn Germans in the band Helloween:

"Lavdate Dominvm"-Helloween, from the album "Better Than Raw"-Music & lyrics by Michael Weikath

Hallelvja, homines
Gavdete de domino
Qui donat vita omnes, qvod amat nos!

Hellelvja, mi devs
Tv vivis omnipotens
Tv es semper benignvs, tv amas nos!

Pater noster in caelis
Totvm orbem terrae regnat
Et vincit diabovm timorem
Et omnivm hominvm

O lavdate dominvm
Praedicate devm
Amate creatorem
Qui creavit mvndvm
Oh, lavdate dominvm!

Ecce et te vvlt
Jesvs liberare
Dvcere per vitam tvvs amicvs
Gavde tv!

Amici, dimittite
Mente malam pravamqve!
Anima accipite salvam fidem!

Jesvs chrisvs in crvce
De vita decessit dolens
Sed de morte resvrrexit lvx mvndi nova

O lavdate dominvm
Filivm jesvs christvm
Omina redenptoren
Et spiritvm sanctvm!
Oh, lavdate dominvm!

The Damned - "Smash it Up"

We've been crying now for much too long
And now we're gonna dance to a different song
I'm gonna scream and shout til my dying breath
I'm gonna smash it up til theres nothing left

Oooh ooh smash it up, smash it up, smash it up
Oooh ooh smash it up, smash it up, smash it up

People call me villain oh its such a shame
Maybe its my clothes must be to blame
I don't even care if I look a mess
Don't wanna be a sucker like all the rest


Oooh ooh smash it up, smash it up, smash it up
Oooh ooh smash it up, smash it up, smash it up

Smash it up
Smash it up
Smash it up
Smash it up
Smash it up

Smash it up, you can keep your krishna burgers
Smash it up, and your Glastonbury hippies
Smash it up, you can stick your frothy lager
Smash it up, and your blow wave hairstyles

And everybody's smashing things down
I said everybody's smashing things down yeah

This song says many things.

Talk of the Town
The Pretenders

Such a drag to want something sometime
One thing leads to another I know
Was a time wanted you for mine
Nobody knew
You arrived like a day
And passed like a cloud
I made a wish, I said it out loud
Out loud in a crowd
Everybody heard
’twas the talk of the town

It’s not my place to know what you feel
I’d like to know but why should i?
Who were you then, who are you now?
Common labourer by night, by day highbrow
Back in my room I wonder, then i
Sit on the bed, look at the sky
Up in the sky
Clouds rearrange
Like the talk of the town

Maybe tomorrow, maybe someday
Maybe tomorrow, maybe someday
You’ve changed your place in this world
You’ve changed your place in this world

Oh but it’s hard to live by the rules
I never could and still never do
The rules and such never bothered you
You call the shots and they follow
I watch you still from a distance then go
Back to my room, you never know
I want you, I want you but now
Who’s the talk of the town?

Good to Me As I Am to You
by Aretha Franklin

If you had a dollar
And I had a dime
I wonder could I borrow yours
As easy as you could mine

Because when you need my love
And I give time after time
And turn around to find me no returns
Then, my friend, you've used my dime

If there's water in the pitcher
And we both need a drink
To stay alive, my darling
I need less water than you think

My love, my love
These things I swear I say are true
And all I'm really saying is
Be as good to me as I am to you

Listen to this
Some people want
But they don't want to give
They can do all of the wrong in the world
And got the nerve to not understand the meaning of let live

Starting today
Tomorrow, and forevermore
If you can't find it your heart to do for me
Then, baby just don't darken my front door

Baby
I want you to be as good to me as I am to you

Baby
I don't think that's asking you too much to do

Listen
Don't you walk around here
Feeling like you can treat me any old way
Using my love, my time, and my heart
Day after day

Baby
Be as good to me as I am to you

Wild Things Run Fast
by Joni Mitchell

He came
She smiled
She thought she had him tamed
But he was just as wild
Eating from her hand at last
Wild things run fast

In the dark
He could see
The trap that was lying in her sweet company
Eating from her hand at last
Wild things run fast

Winter beat the pines about
He heard the heater cutting in and out
While she dreamed away

In the night
It snowed
Fast tracks in the powder white
Leading out to the road
Winding from her tender grasp
Wild things run fast

What makes you run
Wild thing
I thought you loved me

Talk to Me
by Joni Mitchell

There was a moon and a street lamp
I didn't know I drank such a lot
Until I pissed a tequila anaconda the full length of the parking lot

Oh, I talk too loose
Again I talk too open and free
I pay a high price for my open talking like you do for your silent mystery

Come and talk to me
Please, talk to me
Talk to me, talk to me
Mister Mystery

We could talk about Martha
We could talk about landscapes
I'm not above gossip but I'll sit on a secret
Where honor is at stake

Or we could talk about power
About Jesus and Hitler
And Howard Hughes
Or Charlie Chaplin's movies
Or Bergman's nordic blues

Please, just talk to me
Any old thing you choose
Just come and talk to me
Mister Mystery, talk to me

You could talk like a fool
I'd listen
You could talk like a sage
Anyway, the best of my mind
All goes down on the strings and the page
That mind picks up all these pictures
It still gets my feet up to dance
Even though it's covered with keyloids
From the slings and arrows of outrageous romance
I stole that from Willie the Shake
You know
Neither a borrower nor a lender be
Romeo, Romeo
Talk to me

Is your silence that golden?
Are you comfortable in it?
Is it the key to your freedom or is it the bars on your prison?
Are you gagged by your ribbons?
Are you really exclusive or just miserly?
You spend every sentence as if it was marked currency
Come and spend some on me
Shut me up and talk to me
I'm always talking
Chicken squawking
Please talk to me

Unhappy Alice in Wonderland by Susan Ashton

When Alice has an answer it's a common rationality
She measures her phrases, tipping the scales of reality
But does she know that it's cold to sing songs to a troubled heart
Tho' her aim is sincere she's missing the mark

Chorus:
She paints her world in yellow and green, covering over the greys
'Cause life's demands are hard to understand
So Alice stays lost in her wonderland

I said - Alice look around you, people are falling to pieces
Yea, even the faithful, the ones who still believe in Jesus
But that doesn't mean they've fallen from grace
But in her landscape, their heartache is so out of place

CHORUS

So can we talk of shoes and of ships?
Can we talk of cabbages and kings?
And of learning to live with the mystery of things

CHORUS

So Alice stays lost in her Wonderland

Heart Innocence Lost by Susan Ashton

Gone away, the days of wish and wondering
Far away, like a vision in my mind
The child has grown and left me here alone
Looking back to what was left behind

Lullabyes and pennies in a wishing well
Sad goodbyes to friends of make believe
A love so pure, a treasure
Now buried in the sea of me

Refrain:
Milton lost his paradise, Dorothy lost her way
Vincent lost his sanity, Thomas lost his faith
Hoover lost the second time, Sigmund lost his friend
Me, I lost my innocence and I want it back again

A tug-of-war is going on inside of me
A calloused heart that wants to make a change
While time prevails fighting tooth and nail
Keeping me set in my ways

Marco found the orient, Gepetto found his boy
Lincoln found a unity that Lee could not destroy
Lindy found the other side, Gershwin found the stage
Me, I found a stubborness that seems to grow with age

As I dream of where I'll go, may I learn from where I've gone
And take the memories that I hold into tomorrow

REFRAIN
...me I lost my innocence, and I want it back again
I had it once before and I want it back again

Lightbulb Let Me Go by Susan Ashton

Sometimes the hardest people to say I love you to
Are the ones you love the most, I don't know why this is so
Maybe it's the years, the pride, the tears, the fear
The pain, I don't know, I don't know

When I was nurtured in your nest, you held my hand
For that I owe you so much, and those memories are mine
And I never want to lose them, but now these tender wings are dry
But I'll never learn to fly if you don't let me use them

Chorus:
Let me go, let me live or die a fool's death
Let me laugh, let me cry, let me learn the hard way
Let me grow, let me go

I am standing at the crossroads, looking on my life
So many choices to make but I have to choose
So hold me in your dreams, hold me in your thoughts
Hold me in your prayers and hold me in your heart and

CHORUS
...Let me grow, let me go

Sometimes the hardest people to say I love you to
Are the ones you love the most, I don't know why this is so
Maybe it's the years, the pride, the tears, the fear
The pain, I don't know, I don't know

When I was nurtured in your nest, you held my hand
For that I owe you so much, and those memories are mine
And I never want to lose them, but now these tender wings are dry
But I'll never learn to fly if you don't let me use them

Chorus:
Let me go, let me live or die a fool's death
Let me laugh, let me cry, let me learn the hard way
Let me grow, let me go

I am standing at the crossroads, looking on my life
So many choices to make but I have to choose
So hold me in your dreams, hold me in your thoughts
Hold me in your prayers and hold me in your heart and

CHORUS
...Let me grow, let me go

This one most of all...

Dear Mr. President...PINK

Dear Mr. President
Come take a walk with me
Let's pretend we're just two people and
You're not better than me
I'd like to ask you some questions if we can speak honestly

What do you feel when you see all the homeless on the street
Who do you pray for at night before you go to sleep
What do you feel when you look in the mirror
Are you proud

How do you sleep while the rest of us cry
How do you dream when a mother has no chance to say goodbye
How do you walk with your head held high
Can you even look me in the eye
And tell me why

Dear Mr. President
Were you a lonely boy
Are you a lonely boy
Are you a lonely boy
How can you say
No child is left behind
We're not dumb and we're not blind
They're all sitting in your cells
While you pay the road to hell

What kind of father would take his own daughter's rights away
And what kind of father might hate his own daughter if she were gay
I can only imagine what the first lady has to say
You've come a long way from whiskey and cocaine

How do you sleep while the rest of us cry
How do you dream when a mother has no chance to say goodbye
How do you walk with your head held high
Can you even look me in the eye

Let me tell you bout hard work
Minimum wage with a baby on the way
Let me tell you bout hard work
Rebuilding your house after the bombs took them away
Let me tell you bout hard work
Building a bed out of a cardboard box
Let me tell you bout hard work
Hard work
Hard work
You don't know nothing bout hard work
Hard work
Hard work
Oh

How do you sleep at night
How do you walk with your head held high
Dear Mr. President
You'd never take a walk with me
Would you

Default In keeping with the political theme...

Megadeth: Peace Sells, But Who's Buying?

What do you mean, "i don't believe in god"?
I talk to him every day.
What do you mean, "i don't support your system"?
I go to court when i have to.
What do you mean, "i can't get to work on time"?
I got nothing better to do
And, what do you mean, "i don't pay my bills"?
Why do you think i'm broke? huh?

Chorus
If there's a new way,
I'll be the first in line.
But, it better work this time.

What do you mean, "i hurt your feelings"?
I didn't know you had any feelings.
What do you mean, "i ain't kind"?
I'm just not your kind.
What do you mean, "i couldn't be president, of the united states of
america"?
Tell me something, it's still "we the people", right?

Chorus (repeat)

If there's a new way i'll be the first in line, but, it better work this time. can
you put a price on peace?
Peace,
Peace sells...,
Peace,
Peace sells...,
Peace sells...,but who's buying?
Peace sells...,but who's buying?
Peace sells...,but who's buying?
Peace sells...,but who's buying?
No, peace sells...

Top Of The World - Dixie Chicks
(originally by Patty Griffin)

I wished I was smarter
I wished I was stronger
I wished I loved Jesus
The way my wife does
I wish it had been easier
Instead of any longer
I wished I could have stood where you would have been proud
But that won't happen now
That won't happen now

There's a whole lot of singing that's never gonna be heard
Disappearing everyday without so much as a word somehow
Think I broke the wings off that little song bird
She's never gonna fly to the top of the world right now
Top of the world

I don't have to answer any of these questions
Don't have no God to teach me no lessons
I come home in the eveing
Sit in my chair
One night they called me for supper
But I never got up
I stayed right there in my chair

There's a whole lot of singing that's never gonna be heard
Disappearing everyday without so much as a word somehow
Think I broke the wings off that little song bird
She's never gonna fly to the top of the world right now
Top of the world

I wished I'd a known you
Wished I'd a shown you
All of the things I was on the inside
I'd pretend to be sleeping
When you come in in the morning
To whisper good-bye
Go to work in the rain
I don't know why
Don't know why

'Cause everone's singing
We just wanna be heard
Disappearing everyday without so much as a word somehow
Wanna grab a hold of that little song bird
Take her for a ride to the top of the world right now

To the top of the world
To the top of the world
To the top of the world
To the top of the world
To the top of the world
To the top of the world
To the top of the world
To the top of the world

There are places I'll remember
all my life though some have changed
Some forever not for better
Some have gone and some remain
All these places had their moments
With lovers and friends I can still recall
Some are dead and some are living
In my life I've loved them all

But of all these friends and lovers
There is no one compares to you
And these mem'ries lose their meaning
When I think of love as something new

Tho' I know I'll never lose affection
For people and things that went before
I know I'll often think about them
In my life I'll love you more
In my life I'll love you more.
