[pieces o nine]

My old man's drunker than a barrel full of monkeys

Ahem.  Pray where in the preceding Rats song is "barrel full of monkeys"?  And don't try and claim the Niedmayer-Hoffstadter gambit as there isn't a q in the month.

For a small fee Swato will conduct you past the Cloister of Heavenly Peace, through the Rose Garden of Serenity, to the Lawn of Tranquillity from where, on a good day when the smog lifts, you can catch a glimpse of the heads on spikes on the Ramparts of Those Caught Cheating.

I deduced the rules to some of these games when I started here; I knew the song was to relate but didn't get that the highlighted text in my submission was supposed to be in the last one.

Comment embarrassant!
I have seen the error of my ways and will repent forthwith. I'll just sidle out the door now and sneak into a game I play better...

Arrgh! Don't leave us alone in here.  I was only joking. Actually I thought it was a test to see if we were paying attention. If we relax the usual rules and also let you post Showaddywaddy* songs will you promise to stay?

People see different things
When they look on the horizon
Do you see dark clouds rolling in fast
Cos baby they aint gonna last

And I cant see anybody else
I cant stop looking at you
Take this dream and make it true

All I see is love, sweet love
On the horizon, oh yeah
Just one look in your deep brown eyes
And baby Im flyin

This world could be so hard to take
Before I found you, I almost stopped trying
To see the good instead of the bad
But your hearts so true, that baby Im cryin

And every single time we meet
I learn what love is for
Its taking less and giving more

All I see is love, sweet love
On the horizon, oh yeah
Just one look in your deep brown eyes
And baby Im flyin

And baby I dont wanna see pain in your eyes
Cos youre the one that sets me free
Theres nothing in this world that can hurt us
If its you and me, hey-yeah-yeah

All I see is love, sweet love
On the horizon, oh yeah
Just one look in your deep brown eyes
And baby Im flyin

All I see is love, sweet love
On the horizon, oh yeah
(all I see is love on the horizon)
Just one look in your deep brown eyes
And baby Im flyin

I-im, flyin baby
(all I see is love on the horizon)
I-im, flyin baby

All I see is love, sweet love
On the horizon, oh yeah
Just one look in your deep brown eyes
And baby Im flyin

Melanie C - On the horizon

[beagle]

When you look at me with those brown eyes
What do you want to do
Do you have to have me
The way that I want you
I want you
When you look at me with those brown eyes
What do you want to say
And are you just another liar
Will you take me all the way
All the way.

Fleetwood Mac - [Brown Eyes]

[Swatopluk]

Liar, liar, liar, Hollywood liar,
Who are you, to crash my party, with your mediocre blues,
Your powder has no power over me,
Don't talk to my friends, the way you talk to the girls from the valley,
You're just another liar to me,

Hollywood liar,
Hollywood liar,
Hollywood liar,
Hollywood liar,

I can see right through your act, the way you lie to yourself,
About deals you know don't even exist,
Dropping all those names the way you think the game should be played,
You're just another liar to me,

Hollywood liar,
Hollywood liar,
Hollywood liar,
Hollywood liar,

(Say) too mon to mon toul le jomey le very tey,
Too par too par, cullear, reason,

Unfortunately you're my neighbour,
But certainly not for long,

Huh, I'm the writer of this,
I'm the printer of that,
What you gonna do next?
How you gonna top that?
Distributor of this,
Editor of that,
What you gonna do next?
How you gonna top that?
How you gonna top that?
How you gonna top that?
(?)

Hollywood liar,
Hollywood liar,
Hollywood liar,
Hollywood,
Hollywood,
Hollywood,
Hollywood liar,
Kiss me?
(?)
Hollywood liar,
Hollywood liar,
I don't buy it baby!
You just get out of my party!

So we sleep in beds
We've never made
Holding close to love
When love should fade
Holding on to this is the best thing we'll ever do

Morning sun is sweet and soft on your eyes
Oh my love, you always leave me surprised
Before my heart starts to burst
With all my love for you

And know how it rains
And know how it pours
I never could feel this way
For anyone but you

And know how it rains
And know how it pours
I never could feel this way
For anyone but you

So it takes some time
And slip away
Holding on to love
When love should stay
Holding on to you is the best thing I'll ever do

Evening sun is sweet and soft in your face
So I'll never ever leave this place
I feel my heart start to burst
With all my love for you

And know how it rains
And know how it pours
I never could feel this way
For anyone but you

And know how it rains
And know how it pours
I never could feel this way
For anyone but you

Moby - Love Should

[Swatopluk]

The Anniversary - All Right for Now

Us there - the snow is already so thick
You wrote your name across my street
And I remember how the letters look lying there melting
And I can see the star on top of the awkward tree

But now it's seasons past
And a weary October approaches still knowing
It can see farther than the both of us
When everything else looks long
Far away from the night spent swinging on 34th
When the rain made you so still
More quieter than you'd think
And you said when we are older
And you said when we are older

That's enough to make me feel all right when you're gone
I never could feel this way before you
I never understood how this would work
Started without an end

And that's enough to make me feel all right forever

I never could feel this way before you
I never understood how this would work
Started without an end

[beagle]

We are young, we run green,
Keep our teeth, nice and clean,
See our friends, see the sights, feel alright,
We wake up, we go out, smoke a fag,
Put it out, see our friends,
See the sights, feel alright,

Are we like you?
I can't be sure,
Of the scene, as she turns,
We are strange in our worlds,

But we are young, we get by,
Can't go mad, ain't got time,
Sleep around, if we like,
But we're alright,
Got some cash, bought some wheels,
Took it out, 'cross the fields,
Lost control, hit a wall,
But we're alright,

Are we like you,
I can't be sure,
Of the scene, as she turns,
We are strange in our worlds,

But we are young, we run green,
Keep our teeth, nice and clean,
See our friends, see the sights, feel alright,

Are we like you,
I can't be sure,
Of the scene, as she turns,
We are strange in our world,

But we are young, we run green,
Keep our teeth, nice and clean,
See our friends, see the sights, feel alright.

[Griffin NoName]

the young ones
darling we're the young ones
and the young ones
shouldn't be afraid
to give love
while the flame is strong
cause we may not be the young ones
very long

tomorrow
why wait until tomorrow
cause tomorrow
sometimes never comes
so love me
there's a song to be sung
and the best time to sing it
is while we're young

CHORUS

once in every life time
comes a love like this
oh, I need you, you need me
oh my darling can't you see

the young dreams
should be dreamed together
the young hearts
shouldn't be afraid
and some day
when the years have flown
darling then we'll teach the young ones
of our own

Cliff Richard ~ The Young Ones

[Swatopluk]

Take your time but you might not have tomorrow
Change your mind if you find a better way
Live your life feeling all its joy and sorrow, but tomorrow
Sometimes never comes and sometimes it's too late.

No one knows what's lying on the road before us
Skys darken in the middle of the day
Lightening strikes with no reason if the season calls for rain
We're all vulnerable inside a sea of change

Everybody is runnin'
All I know is we're runnin' out of time
Look into your heart and tell me what you see
Cause there's one thing left for us to do, it's inside of you,
That's to heal the wounded heart, that's where we gotta start
And I know that we've been holdin on, and it's been so long,
But now it's time to let it go and let forgiveness flow

It's a miracle this life that lies before us
It's a mystery as the years go slippin by
We are movin ever faster as the minutes start to fly
I want to be as open as the sky

Everybody is runnin'
All I know is we're runnin' out of time
Look into your heart and tell me what you see
Cause there's one thing left for us to do, it's inside of you,
That's to heal the wounded heart, that's where we gotta start
And I know that we've been holding on, and it's been so long,
But now it's time to let it go and let forgiveness flow
And I know you want to hold on baby, but it's been so long
Now it's time to leave the past and let forgiveness last
We've got to let forgiveness last cause it's time to leave the past
We've got to let forgiveness flow cause it's time to let it go
And you're gonna feel as white as snow when you let your feelings show
Oh, don't you all be the average Joe
Cause you know you're gonna get what you sow

Everybody is runnin'
All I know is we're running out of time

Trudy Holler - Running out of time

[beagle]

How clear, how lovely bright,
How beautiful to sight
  Those beams of morning play;
How heaven laughs out with glee
Where, like a bird set free,
Up from the eastern sea
  Soars the delightful day.

To-day I shall be strong,
No more shall yield to wrong,
  Shall squander life no more;
Days lost, I know not how,
I shall retrieve them now;
Now I shall keep the vow
  I never kept before.

Ensanguining the skies
How heavily it dies
  Into the west away;
Past touch and sight and sound
Not further to be found,
How hopeless under ground
  Falls the remorseful day.


A.E.Housman - Easter Hymn XVI

[Earthling]

Hmm - yeah yeah

Just one more morning, I have to wake up with the blues
Pull myself outa bed, yeah, pull on my walkin' shoes
Climb up on a hilltop, baby, see what I can see, yeah
The whole world's fallin' down on me, right down in front of me

And I'm hung up upon dreams, I'm never gonna see yet
Lord help me, baby, dreams get the best of me yet

Pull myself together, gonna put on a new face, yeah
Gonna climb down from the hilltop, baby,
Lord, get back in the race

Cause I've got dreams, I've got my dreams
To remember the love we had
I got dreams, yeah I've got my dreams
To remember the love we had

Cause I'm hung up upon dreams, I'm never gonna see yet, not me
Lord, help me baby, dreams get the best of me yet

Alright - yeah yeah

Pull myself together, put on a new face, yeah
Climb down from the hilltop, baby,
Lord, get back in the race

Cause I've got dreams, I've got my dreams
To remember the love we had
I've got dreams, yeah I've got my dreams
To remember the love and peace

And I'm hung up upon dreams, I'm never gonna see yet, not me
Lord, help me baby, dreams get the best of me yet

Don't Let It End
Styx
(Dennis De Young)
From: Kilroy Was Here

What can I do,
Pictures of you still make me cry
Trying to live without your love
It's so hard to do

Some nights I wake up
I look at your pillow
Hoping that I'll see you there
But I get up each day
Not much to say
I've nowhere to go
Loneliness fills me up inside
'Cause I'm missing you

So if you give us a chance to remember
The love we had once together
Wait and see
Time is all that we really need
I'm prayin' you won't say no
I mean to tell you

Don't let it end
Baby we could have so much more
Don't let it end
Honey please don't walk out that door

I'm telling you baby
I've made my mistakes
But I'll make you this promise
To do what it takes
I'll be there to protect you
And hold you tight
You've got my loving baby
Every single night

Don't let it end
I'm begging you
Don't let it end this way
Don't let it end
I'm begging you
Don't let it end this way

-----guitar solo-----

Don't let it end
Baby we could have so much more
Don't let it end
Honey please don't walk out that door
Don't let it end
I'm begging you
Don't let it end this way
Don't let it end
I'm begging you
Don't let it end this way
No no no
No no no

What will I do
If you say we're through
I need you to stay
Honey,
Don't let it end...this...way

Aaaaahhhh Ohhhhhh

Bye bye love Bye bye happiness
Hello loneliness I think I'm gonna cry
Bye bye my love goodbye
There goes my baby with someone new
She sure looks happy I sure am blue

She was my baby 'tlll he stepped in
Goodbye to romance that might have been
Bye bye love Bye bye sweet caress
Hello emptiness I feel like I could die
Bye bye my love goodbye

I'm free from romance I'm through with love
I'm through with counting the stars above
And here's the reason that I'm so free
my loving baby is through with me

Bye bye love Bye bye happiness
Hello loneliness I think I'm gonna cry
Bye bye my love goodbye
Bye bye my love goodbye

Bye-Bye Love

[Swatopluk]

In a relationship
We've got to share what we've got of it
If we're there at this secret share
We look you were sending home again

Something is changed
Something is right
Something you told me was a lie last night
My thoughts drive me crazy
I think I'm gonna cry
But tears won't help then just a fuel to the fire

Something is changed
Something is right
Something you told me was a lie last night
My thoughts drive me crazy
I think I'm gonna cry
But tears won't help they're just a fuel to the fire

If we were to try again
Pick this all off the grounds and then
Try to mend our race again
Find a new way for love again

Something is changed
Something is right
Something you told me was a lie last night
My thoughts drive me crazy
I think I'm gonna cry
But tears won't help they're just a fuel to the fire

Something is changed
Something is right
Something you told me was a lie last night
My thoughts drive me crazy
I think I'm gonna cry
But tears won't help they're just a fuel to the fire
