    Nobody Knows - Billy Squier

    I may get around...I may laugh a lot...
    Now you’d think that I’d be happy with the life I got
    Nobody knows...nobody sees
    Ain’t nobody really knows the inner side o’me...


    I may seem secure...I could have it made...
    You might think you see a lucky man who made the grade
    Nobody knows what dreams I see
    Ain’t nobody really sure just who they wanna be...


    But everybody has a place and time...
    A chance to live...a need to find
    We all got somethin’ that we care about
    I propose you find it out...


    It’s not in a book...or a magazine...
    Or the stars who guide our fortunes on the silver screen
    Nobody knows...it’s up to me
    Ain’t nobody who can say it like it ought to be...


    I see my future at the rainbow’s end
    Happy hours...timeless friends
    And if I ever chance to find my way
    Rest assured...I will stay...


    You may see your life as a compromise
    You may live to find the promise dancin’ in your eyes
    Nobody knows...it’s meant to be...
    Let the magic of the moment say it all to me


    (dedicated to the life of john lennon)

    opium by marcy playground. an intoxicating song. dreamy and hypnotic, feels like what death would feel like as i slip away from existence.

    Blue like water
    Blue like heaven is all of
    the time
    I'm all right
    I'm just gagging on all the
    all right
    I'm so happy
    So happy
    I'm in heaven
    Yeah heaven
    Oh the season's come for
    opium
    Mom...mom
    Mom...mom
    I'm so happy
    So happy
    I'm in heaven
    Yeah heaven
    Oh the seizures come
    from opium

    "Hear You Me" by Jimmy Eat World

    There's no one in town I know.
    You gave us some place to go.
    I never said thank you for that.
    I thought I might have one more chance.
    What would you think of me now...
    So lucky, So strong, So proud?
    I never said thank you for that,
    Now I'll never have a chance.

    May angels lead you in.
    Hear you me my friends.
    On sleepless roads,
    The sleepless go.
    May angels lead you in.

    So what would you think of me now...
    So lucky, So strong, So proud?
    I never said thank you for that.
    Now I'll never have a chance.

    May angels lead you in.
    Hear you me my friends.
    On sleepless roads,
    The sleepless go.
    May angels lead you in.
    May angels lead you in.
    May angels lead you in.

    And if you were with me tonight.
    I'd sing to you just one more time.
    A song for a heart so big,
    God couldn't let it live.

    May angels lead you in.
    Hear you me my friends.
    On sleepless roads,
    The sleepless go.
    May angels lead you in.
    May angels lead you in.
    Hear you me my friends.
    On sleepless roads,
    The sleepless go.
    May angels lead you in.
    May angels lead you in.


    I believe the song was written for the head person of the Weezer fan club in which the group was close friends with who died in a car accident.

    I'm An ******* - Denis Leary

    Folks
    I'd like to sing a song about the American Dream
    About me,
    About you,
    About the way our American hearts beat way down in the bottoms of our chests,
    About that special feelting we get in the cockles of our hearts
    Or maybe below the cockles,
    Maybe in the sub cockle area,
    Maybe in the liver,
    Maybe in the kidneys,
    Maybe even in the colon,
    We don't know

    I'm just a regular joe,
    With a regular job.
    I'm your average white,
    Suburbanite slob.
    I like football, and porno, and books about war.
    I've got an average house,
    With a nice hardwood floor.
    My wife, and my job, my kids, and my car,
    My feet on the table,
    With a Cuban cigar.
    But sometimes that just ain't enough,
    To keep a man like me interested,
    Oh no, no way, uh uhh.
    No I gotta go out and have fun,
    At someone elses expense,
    Oh yeah, yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah,

    I drive really slow,
    In the ultra fast lane,
    while people, behind me, are going insane.

    I'm an *******
    (he's an *******, what an *******)
    I'm an *******
    (he's an *******, such an *******)

    I use public toilets,
    And I piss on the seats,
    I walk around in the summer time,
    Sayin' "How about this heat?"

    I'm an *******
    (he's an *******, what an *******)
    I'm an *******
    (he's the worlds biggest *******)

    Sometimes I park in handicaped spaces,
    While handicaped People, make handicaped faces,

    I'm an *******
    (he's an *******, what an *******)
    I'm an *******
    (he's a big ****ing *******)

    Maybe I shouldnt be singing this song,
    Ranting and raving and carring on,
    Maybe they're right when they tell me I'm wrong.
    NAAAHHHHH

    I'm an *******
    (he's an *******, what an *******)
    I'm an *******
    (he's the worlds biggest *******)

    You know what I'm gonna do?
    I'm gonna get myself a 1967 Cadaliac Eldarado Convertable,
    Hot Pink!
    With whale skin hub caps,
    An all leather cow interior,
    And big brown baby seal eyes for headlights.
    YEAH!
    And I'm gonna drive around in that baby,
    At 115 miles per hour,
    Getting one mile per gallon,
    Sucking down quarter pounder cheeseburgers from McDonalds in the old-fasioned non-biodegradable styrafoam containers.
    And when I'm done sucking down those grease ball burgers,
    I'm gonna wipe my mouth in the American flag,
    And then I'm gonna toss the styrafoam containers right out the side,
    And there ain't a God damn thing anybody can do about it,
    You know why?
    'Cause we got the bombs, that's why.
    Two words, Nuclear ****ing Weapons OK.
    Russia, Germany, Romania,
    They can have all the democracy they want.
    They can have a big democracy cake,
    Walk right through the middle of Tienemen Square,
    And it won't make a lick of difference,
    Because we got the bombs OK!
    John Wayne's not dead,
    He's frozen.
    And as soon as we find a cure for cancer, we're gonna thaw out the duke.
    And he's gonna be pretty pissed off,
    You know why?
    Have you ever taken a cold shower?
    Well multiply that by 15 million times,
    That's how pissed off the duke's gonna be.
    I'm gonna get the duke,
    And John Desimeties,
    And Lee Marvinhaugh
    And Sam Beckinforth,
    And a case of whiskey,
    And drive down to Texas,
    And,
    (hey, Hey, You know you really are an *******)
    Why don't you shut up and sing the song pal,
    You know the whole time I thought I was that *******,
    And it turns out it was him,
    What an *******

    I'm an *******
    (he's an *******, what an *******)
    I'm an *******
    (he's the worlds biggest *******)

    A, SS, HO, LE
    Everybody,
    A, SS, HO, LE

    I'm an *******, and I'm Proud of it!

    "Seasons In The Sun" by Westlife

    Good bye to you my trusted friend
    We've known each other
    Since we were nine or ten
    Together we've climbed hills and trees
    Learned of love and abcs
    Skinned our hearts and skinned our knees

    Good bye my friend it's hard to die
    When all the birds are
    Singing in the sky
    Now that spring is in the air
    Pretty girls are everywhere
    Think of me and I'll be there

    We had joy we had fun
    We had seasons in the sun
    But the hills that we climbed
    Were just seasons out of time

    Good bye papa please pray for me
    I was the black sheep of the family
    You tried to teach me right from wrong
    Too much wine and too much song
    Wonder how I got along

    Good bye papa it's hard to die
    When all the birds are
    Singing in the sky
    Now that the spring is in the air
    Little children everywhere
    When you see them I'll be there

    We had joy we had fun
    We had seasons in the sun
    But the wine and the song
    Like the seasons have all gone

    We had joy we had fun
    We had seasons in the sun
    But the wine and the song
    Like the seasons have all gone

    Good bye Michelle my little one
    You gave me love and
    Helped me find the sun
    And every time that I was down
    You would always come around
    And get my feet back on the ground

    Good bye Michelle it's hard to die
    When all the birds are
    Singing in the sky
    Now that the spring is in the air
    With the flowers everywhere
    I wish that we could both be there

    We had joy we had fun
    We had seasons in the sun
    But the hills that we climbed
    Were just seasons out of time

    We had joy we had fun
    We had seasons in the sun
    But the wine and the song
    Like the seasons have all gone

    We had joy we had fun
    We had seasons in the sun
    But the wine and the song
    Like the seasons have all gone

    We had joy we had fun
    We had seasons in the sun
    But the wine and the song
    Like the seasons have all gone

    I also will do "A New Way to Fly" by Garth Brooks...

    Tupac - Life Goes On

    I have always loved this song. im not a G or nothing but just the words and the way he sings it is really cool. I have more but this is always on my mind.

    How many brothas fell victim to tha streetz
    Rest in peace young *****, there's a Heaven for a 'G'
    be a lie, If I told ya that I never thought of death
    my *****s, we tha last ones left
    but life goes on.....


    Verse One:

    As I bail through tha empty halls
    breath stinkin'
    in my draws
    ring, ring, ring
    quiet y'all
    incoming call
    plus this my homie from high school
    he's getting bye
    It's time to bury another brotha nobody cry
    life as a baller
    alchol and booty calls
    we usta do them as adolecents
    do you recall?
    raised as G's
    loc'ed out and blazed the weed
    get on tha roof
    let's get smoked out
    and blaze with me
    2 in tha morning
    and we still high assed out
    screamin' 'thug till I die'
    before I passed out
    but now that your gone
    i'm in tha zone
    thinkin'
    'I don't wanna die all alone'
    but now ya gone
    and all I got left are stinkin' memories
    I love them *****s to death
    i'm drinkin' Hennessy
    while tryin' ta make it last
    I drank a 5th for that ass
    when you passed....
    cause life goes on

    Chorus

    Verse Two:

    Yeah *****
    I got tha word as hell
    ya blew trial and tha judge gave you
    25 with an L
    time to prepare to do fed time
    won't see parole
    imagine life as a convict
    that's getten' old
    plus with tha drama
    we're lookin out for your babies mama
    taken risks, while keepin' cheap tricks from gettin on her...
    life in tha hood...
    is all good for nobody
    remember gamin' on dumb hoties at chill parties
    Me and you
    No true a two
    while scheming on hits
    and gettin tricks
    that maybe we can slide into
    but now you burried
    rest *****
    cause I ain't worried
    eyes bluried
    sayin' goodbye at the cemetary
    tho' memories fade
    I got your name tated on my arm
    so we both ball till' my dying days
    before I say goodbye
    Kato, we're meant to rest in peace
    Thug till I die

    Chorus

    Verse Three:

    Bury me smilin'
    with G's in my pocket
    have a party at my funeral
    let every rapper rock it
    let tha hoes that I usta know
    from way before
    kiss me from my head to my toe
    give me a paper and a pen
    so I can write about my life of sin
    a couple bottles of Gin
    incase I don't get in
    tell all my people i'm a Ridah
    nobody cries when we die
    we outlaws
    let me ride
    until I get free
    I live my life in tha fast lane
    got police chasen me
    to my *****s from old blocks
    from old crews
    *****s that guided me through
    back in tha old school
    pour out some liquor
    have a toast for tha homies
    see we both gotta die
    but ya chose to go before me
    and brothas miss ya while your gone
    you left your ***** on his own
    how long we mourn
    life goes on...

    Chorus *repeats to end*
    (sung overtop repeating chorus)

    Life goes on homie
    gone on, cause they passed away
    *****s doin' life
    *****s doin' 50 and 60 years and ****
    I feel ya *****, trust me
    I feel ya
    You know what I mean
    last year
    we poured out liquor for ya
    this year *****, life goes on
    we're gonna clock now
    get money
    evade b****es
    evade tricks
    give players plenty space
    and basicaly just represent for you baby
    next time you see your *****s
    your gonna be on top *****
    their gonna be like,
    '*******, them *****s came up'
    that's right baby
    life goes on....
    and we up out this b****
    hey Kato, Mental
    y'all *****s make sure it's popin' when we get up there
    don't front.

    I need something that sums up my self-absorption and how much I want people to reflect on my incredible depth as a thinker, how much better I saw the world than they did.

    I'm going to have to think about this one for a while-- dwell on it, even.

    Well, I don't like to think about this either but I would definitely do, church hymn-wise, "All Creatures of Our God and King".

    Secular-wise, something by Floyd, maybe "Echoes" but a condensed version and not the entire 23 minute version although "Us And Them" has always struck a soft spot in my heart.

    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? ....................

    I can't comment on my own, but if there's someone you don't particulary like too much, you could play "Ha Ha You're Dead" by Greenday. It actually is a good song.

    How do you get your sleep at night?
    How did you get your noose so tight?
    Like chewing on tinfoil, it's so much fun
    Gonna be dead before your gone

    Cause look how things have gotten
    And I'll be happy so I won't pretend
    And I'll be cheering that you're going down
    And I'll be laughing, I'll be laughing

    How many feelings can you steal?
    Gotta be part of your appeal
    I can see through you cause you're wearing thin
    Like chewing on tinfoil once again

    Ha Ha you're dead
    And I'm so happy
    In loving memory
    Of your demise

    When your ship is going down
    I'll go out and paint the town
    Ha Ha you're dead
    Ha Ha you're dead
    Ha Ha you're dead

    (ha ha ha)

    Ha Ha you're dead
    The joke is over
    You were an *******
    And now you're gone
    As your ship is going down
    I'll stand by and watch you drown

    Ha Ha you're dead
    You're gonna be dead
    Just remember what I said
    Ha Ha you're dead
    Ha Ha you're dead
    Ha Ha you're dead
