Going
Through The Motions
Joss Whedon
Every single night
the same arrangement
I go out and fight
the fight
Still, I always
feel the strange estrangement
Nothing here is
real,
Nothing here is
right
I've been making
shows of trading blows
Just hoping no one
knows
That I've been
Going through the
motions
Walking through
the part
Nothing seems to
penetrate my heart
I was always brave
and kind of righteous
Now I find I'm wavering
Crawl out of your
grave you'll find this fight
Just doesn't mean
a thing
She ain't got that
swing
Thanks for noticing
She does pretty well
with fiends from hell
But lately, we can
tell
That she's just
Going through the
motions
Faking it somehow
She's not even half
the girl she...
ow
Will I stay this
way forever?
Sleepwalk through
my life's endeavor
How can I repay?
Whatever
I don't want to
be
Going through the
motions
Losing all my drive
I can't even see
If this is really
me
And I just wanna
be
Alive
Can’t
Cry These Tears Anymore
Garbage
I just don't care
anymore
I've reached the
end of the rope
I just don't care
anymore
Won't cry these
tears anymore
Can't find it in
the bible
Can't find it on
t.v.
Can't find it in
diamonds
There's something
inside me that just went around it
Can't find it in
music
Can't find it in
my soul
Can't find it in
chocolate
Oh babe I can't
hide it
I can't even fight
it
I just don't care
anymore
I've reached the
end of the rope
I just don't care
anymore
Won't cry these
tears anymore
There's no way she
can kiss you the way that I do
I heard that you
miss me
Oh you should be
careful of whom you've been talking to
Ten long nights
without you have taught me to be strong
I've cut all my
losses
Think no more about
it because I couldn't fight it
I just don't care
anymore
I've reached the
end of the rope
I just don't care
anymore
Won't cry these
tears anymore
There was a time
I thought I'd die
If you should ever
leave me high and dry
And you don't want
me anymore
It's time to settle
the score
I just don't care
anymore
I've reached the
end of my temper I'm tired of the letters
I just don't care
anymore
Won't cry these
tears anymore
I just don't care
anymore
I've reached the
end of my rope and it's time that I've taught you so
I just don't care
anymore
Won't cry these
tears anymore
It's time to settle
the score
Under
the Sea
Alan Menken
The seaweed is always
greener
In somebody else's
lake
You dream about
going up there
But that is a big
mistake
Just look at the
world around you
Right here on the
ocean floor
Such wonderful things
surround you
What more is you
lookin' for?
Under the sea
Under the sea
Darling it's better
Down where it's
wetter
Take it from me
Up on the shore
they work all day
Out in the sun they
slave away
While we devotin'
Full time to floatin'
Under the sea
Down here all the
fish is happy
As off through the
waves they roll
The fish on the
land ain't happy
They sad 'cause
they in their bowl
But fish in the
bowl is lucky
They in for a worser
fate
One day when the
boss get hungry
Guess who's gon'
be on the plate
Under the sea
Under the sea
Nobody beat us
Fry us and eat us
In fricassee
We what the land
folks loves to cook
Under the sea we
off the hook
We got no troubles
Life is the bubbles
Under the sea
Under the sea
Since life is sweet
here
We got the beat
here
Naturally
Even the sturgeon
an' the ray
They get the urge
'n' start to play
We got the spirit
You got to hear
it
Under the sea
The newt play the
flute
The carp play the
harp
The plaice play
the bass
And they soundin'
sharp
The bass play the
brass
The chub play the
tub
The fluke is the
duke of soul
(Yeah)
The ray he can play
The lings on the
strings
The trout rockin'
out
The blackfish she
sings
The smelt and the
sprat
They know where
it's at
An' oh that blowfish
blow
Under the sea
Under the sea
When the sardine
Begin the beguine
It's music to me
What do they got?
A lot of sand
We got a hot crustacean
band
Each little clam
here
know how to jam
here
Under the sea
Each little slug
here
Cuttin' a rug here
Under the sea
Each little snail
here
Know how to wail
here
That's why it's
hotter
Under the water
Ya we in luck here
Down in the muck
here
Under the sea
Unforgiven
II
Metallica
Lay beside me, tell
me what they've done
Speak the words
I wanna hear, to make my demons run
The door is locked
now, but it's open if you're true
If you can understand
the me, then I can understand the you
Lay beside me, under
wicked sky
The black of day,
dark of night, we share this paralyze
The door cracks
open, but there's no sun shining through
Black hearts scarring
darkness still, but there's no sun shining through
No, there's no sun
shining through
No, there's no sun
shining
What I've felt,
what I've known
Turn the pages,
turn the stone
Behind the door,
should I open it for you
Yeah
What I've felt,
what I've known
Sick and tired,
I stand alone
Could you be there,
'cause I'm the one who waits for you
Or are you unforgiven
too?
Lay beside me, this
won't hurt, I swear
She loves me not,
she loves me still, but she'll never love again
She lay beside me,
but she'll be there when I'm gone
Black hearts scarring
darker steel, yes, she'll be there when I'm gone
Yes, she'll be there
when I'm gone
Dead sure she'll
be there
What I've felt,
what I've known
Turn the pages,
turn the stone
Behind the door,
should I open it for you
Yeah
What I've felt,
what I've known
Sick and tired,
I stand alone
Could you be there,
'cause I'm the one who waits for you
Or are you unforgiven
too?
Lay beside me, tell
me what I've done
The door is closed,
so are your eyes
But now I see the
sun, now I see the sun
Yes, now I see it
What I've felt,
what I've known
Turn the pages,
turn the stone
Behind the door,
should I open it for you
Yeah
What I've felt,
what I've known
So sick and tired,
I stand alone
Could you be there,
'cause I'm the one who waits
The one who waits
for you
Oh, what I've felt,
what I've known
Turn the pages,
turn the stone
Behind the door,
should I open it for you
So I dub thee unforgiven
Oh, what I've felt
Oh, what I've known
I take this key
And I bury it in
you
Because you're unforgiven
too
Never free
Never me
'cause you're unforgiven
too
Psalm
137
Anonymous
1 By the waters
of Babylon,
there we wept and
there sat down;
Hung our harps on
the willow trees;
Zion yet we remembered
thee!
Then our captors
required of us;
"Sing a song of
Zion now!"
Could we sing the
Eternal's songs
by the waters of
Babylon?
2 Let my right hand
forget here skill,
if Jerusalem I forget;
If I fail to remember
thee,
let my tongue cleave
unto my mouth!
But we thought of
Jerusalem
when we sat near
Zion's streams;
Far above even our
chief joy,
We remembered Jerusalem.
3 In that day of
Jerusalem's fall,
when the children
of Edom said,
"Down with here,
down unto the ground,
even to the foundations!"
O thou daughter
of Babylon,
to thy ruin hast'ning
on;
Happy he that rewardeth
thee,
just as thou unto
us hast done.
Dante’s
Prayer
Loreena McKennitt
When the dark wood
fell before me
And all the paths
were overgrown
When the priests
of pride say there is no other way
I tilled the sorrows
of stone
I did not believe
because I could not see
Though you came
to me in the night
When the dawn seemed
forever lost
You showed me your
love in the light of the stars
Chorus:
Cast your eyes on
the ocean
Cast your soul to
the sea
When the dark night
seems endless
Please remember
me
Then the mountain
rose before me
By the deep well
of desire
From the fountain
of forgiveness
Beyond the ice and
the fire
Chorus
Though we share this
humble path, alone
How fragile is the
heart
Oh give these clay
feet wings to fly
To touch the face
of the stars
Breathe life into
this feeble heart
Lift this mortal
veil of fear
Take these crumbled
hopes, etched with tears
We'll rise above
these earthly cares
Chorus
Please remember me
Please remember
me.
Let’s
Face the Music and Dance
Irving Berlin
There may be trouble
ahead
But while there's
music and moonlight
and love and romance
Let's face the music
and dance ...
Before the fiddlers
have fled,
Before they ask
us to pay the bill,
and while we still
have that chance
Let's face the music
and dance ...
Soon, we'll be without
the moon,
humming a different
tune - and then...
There may be teardrops
to shed
So while
there's music and
moonlight
and love and romance
Let's face the music
and dance, dance
...
Let's face the music
and dance ...
Babies
[the in between]
George Sarah and
Anthony Stewart Head
A baby in a restaurant
So tiny her head
fit into her father's hand
And as he looked
into her eyes she smiled
Not bothered by
the loudness of the live rock n' roll band
And as I watched
them both I longed to cradle you in my arms again
All I could really
think of was
That I longed to
hold my babies
A little later that
same night
A child of eight
or nine entered the dining room
She had the pale,
poetic grace [of the age]
She was so tired
she could hardly keep her eyes from closing
And as I watched
her older sister lay her down between two chairs to
Sleep
All that I was thinking
was
That I wanted to
hold my babies
Looking at photographs
Watching you grow
before my eyes
Remembering the
moments the instant
Before the camera
saw them
And as I smile at
all the times we shared, I'm reminded of all the in between
Christ, how I miss
you, both then and now, my babies
I longed to hold
you in my arms, to know you're by my side
To feel your little
hands in mine, to look into trusting eyes
I longed to be your
Daddy, felt guilty for not being there for you
Oh, how I miss you,
my babies.
Jerusalem
William Blake
And did those feet
in ancient time
Walk upon England's
mountains green
And was the holy
lamb of God
On England's pleasant
pastures seen
And did the countenance
divine
Shine forth upon
our clouded hills
And was Jerusalem
builded there
Among those dark
Satanic mills
Bring me my bow (my
bow) of burning gold
Bring me my arrows
of desire
Bring me my spears
o'clouds unfold
Bring me my chariot
of fire
I will not cease
from mental fight
Nor shall my (my)
sword sleep in hand
'Til we have built
Jerusalem
In England's green
and pleasant land
'Til we have built
Jerusalem
In England's green
and pleasant land
England
