That last verse made me laugh, Si.

I got a good one for your Dad,

I'm gonna see a priest, a Rabbi and a Protestand clergyman,

You always said I should hedge my bets.

LOL! I know people who have exactly that mentality. :)

Oh, I love that song. Thanks for posting, I must download.

Check out The Sundays version if you haven't heard it - I prefer it to the Tin Tin Out version now!

I'd never heard the Sundays' version, but having downloaded it, it's really quite good. Still not sure which I prefer, though.

Placebo - Every Me And Every You

Sucker love is heaven sent.

You pucker up, our passions spent.

My hearts a tart, your bodys rent.

My bodys broken, yours is spent.

Carve your name into my arm.

Instead of stressed, I lie here charmed.

Cuz theres nothing else to do,

Every me and every you.

Sucker love, a box I choose.

No other box I choose to use.

Another love I would abuse,

No circumstances could excuse.

In the shape of things to come.

Too much poison come undone.

Cuz theres nothing else to do,

Every me and every you.

Every me and every you,

Every me...he

Sucker love is known to swing.

Prone to cling and waste these things.

Pucker up for heavens sake.

Theres never been so much at stake.

I serve my head up on a plate.

Its only comfort, calling late.

Cuz theres nothing else to do,

Every me and every you.

Every me and every you,

Every me...he

Every me and every you,

Every me...he

Like the naked leads the blind.

I know Im selfish, Im unkind.

Sucker love I always find,

Someone to bruise and leave behind.

All alone in space and time.

Theres nothing here but what heres heres mine.

Something borrowed, something blue.

Every me and every you.

Every me and every you,

Every me...he

Every me and every you,

Every me...he (x4)

For you I will (confidence)-Teddy Geiger

Alright (Yeah, Yeah)

wandering the streets in a world underneath it all

But nothing seems to be

Nothing tastes as sweet as what I can't have

Like you and the way that you're twisting your hair round your finger

Tonight I'm not afraid to tell you

What I feel about you

Oh I'm gonna muster every ounce of confidence I have

And cannonball into the water

I'm gonna muster every ounce of confidence I have

For you I will, for you I will

Forgive me if I st-stutter

From all of the clutter in my head

Cause I could fall asleep in those eyes

Like a water bed

Do I seem familiar

I've crossed you in hallways a thousand times

No more camouflage

I want to be exposed

And not be afraid to fall

Oh I'm gonna muster every ounce of confidence I have

And cannonball into the water

I'm gonna muster every ounce of confidence I have

For you I will

You always want what you can’t have

But I've got to try

I'm gonna muster every ounce of confidence I have

For you I will, for you I will, for you I will, for you...

If I could dim the lights in the mall

And create a mood yea, I would

Shout out your name so it echoes in every room yea

That's what I'd do

That's what I'd do

To get through to you yeah

Oh I'm gonna muster every ounce of confidence I have

And cannonball into the water

I'm gonna muster every ounce of confidence I have

For you I will

You always want what you can’t have

But I've got to try

I'm gonna muster every ounce of confidence I have

For you I will, for you I will, for you I will, for you I will...

Make Your Own Kind Of Music

Mama Cass Elliot

Nobody can tell ya

There's only one song worth singing

They may try and sell ya

Cause it hangs them up

To see someone like you

You gotta make your own kind of music

Sing your own special song

Make your own kind music

Even if nobody else sings along

It cannot be nowhere

The loneliest kind of lonely

It may be rough going

Just to do your thing is the hardest things to do

You gotta make your own kind of music

Sing your own special song

Make your own kind music

Even if nobody else sings along

And if you cannot take my hand

Then I must be going, I will understand

You gotta make your own kind of music

Sing your own special song

Make your own kind music

Even if nobody else sings along

You gotta make your own kind of music

Sing your own special song

Make your own kind music

Even if nobody else sings along

Ohio Is For Lovers

Hawthorne Heights

Hey there

I know it's hard to feel

like I don't care at all

Where you are and how you feel

Put these lights off as these wheels

keep rolling on and on (and on and on and on...)

Slow things down or speed them up

Not enough or way too much (and on and on and on...)

How are you when I'm gone?

And I can't make it on my own (And I can't make it on my own)

Because my heart is in Ohio

So cut my wrists and black my eyes (Cut my wrists and black my eyes)

So I can fall asleep tonight or die

Because you kill me

You know you do

You kill me well

You like it too, and I can tell

You never stop until my final breath is gone

Spare me just three last words

"I love you" is all she heard

"I'll wait for you, but I can't wait forever" (x2)

And I can't make it on my own (And I can't make it on my own)

Because my heart is in Ohio

So cut my wrists and black my eyes (Cut my wrists and black my eyes)

So I can fall asleep tonight or die

Because you kill me

You know you do

You kill me well

You like it too and I can tell

You never stop until my final breath is gone

You know you do

You kill me well

You like it too and I can tell

You never stop until my final breath is gone

So cut my wrists and black my eyes

My final breath is gone

So I can fall asleep tonight

And I can't make it on my own (And I can't make it on my own)

Because my heart is in Ohio

So cut my wrists and black my eyes (Cut my wrists and black my eyes)

So I can fall asleep tonight or die

Because you kill me

You know you do, you kill me well.

You like it too, and I can tell.

You never stop until my final breath is gone.

Outlandish- Look into my eyes.

Look into my eyes

Tell me what you see

You don't see a damn thing

'cause you can't relate to me

You're blinded by our differences

My life makes no sense to you

I'm the persecuted one

You're the red, white and blue

Each day you wake in tranquility

No fears to cross your eyes

Each day I wake in gratitude

Thanking God He let me rise

You worry about your education

And the bills you have to pay

I worry about my vulnerable life

And if I'll survive another day

Your biggest fear is getting a ticket

As you cruise your Cadillac

My fear is that the tank that has just left

Will turn around and come back

Yet, do you know the truth of where your money goes?

Do you let your media deceive your mind?

Is this a truth nobody, nobody, nobody knows

Has our world gone all blind?

Do you know the truth of where your money goes?

Do you let your media deceive your mind?

Is this a truth nobody, nobody, nobody knows?

Someone tell me...

Ooohh, let's not cry tonight

I promise you one day it's through

Ohh my brothers, Ohh my sisters

Ooohh, shine a light for every soul that ain't with us no more

Ohh my brothers, Ohh my sisters

See I've known terror for quite some time

57 years so cruel

Terror breathes the air I breathe

It's the checkpoint on my way to school

Terror is the robbery of my land

And the torture of my mother

The imprisonment of my innocent father

The bullet in my baby brother

The bulldozers and the tanks

The gases and the guns

The bombs that fall outside my door

All due to your funds

You blame me for defending myself

Against the ways of my enemies

I'm terrorized in my own land (what)

But am I the terrorist?

Yet, do you know the truth of where your money goes?

Do you let your media deceive your mind?

Is this a truth nobody, nobody, nobody knows

Has our world gone all blind?

Do you know the truth of where your money goes?

Do you let your media deceive your mind?

Is this a truth nobody, nobody, nobody knows?

Someone tell me...

Ooohh, let's not cry tonight, I promise you one day it's through

Ohh my brothers, Ohh my sisters,

Ooohh, shine a light for every soul that ain't with us no more

Ohh my brothers, Ohh my sisters,

America, do you realize that the taxes that you pay

Feed the forces that traumatize my every living day

So if I won't be here tomorrow

It's written in my fate

May the future bring a brighter day

The end of our wait

(pause)

Ooohh, let's not cry tonight, I promise you one day it's through

Ohh my brothers, Ohh my sisters,

Ooohh, shine a light for every soul that ain't with us no more

Ohh my brothers, Ohh my sisters,

Ohh let's not cry tonight I promise you one day is through

Ohh my brothers! Ohh my sisters!

Ooh shine a light for every Soul that ain't with us no more

Ohh my brothers! Ohh my sisters!

I like this song because it's kind of... bizarre!

OMC - How Bizarre!

Brother Pele's in the back

Sweet Zina's in the front

Cruising down the freeway

In the hot, hot sun

Suddenly red blue lights

Flash us from behind

Loud voice booming

"Please step out onto the line"

Pele breathes words of comfort

Zina just hides her eyes

Policeman taps his shades

Is that a Chevy 69?

How bizarre

How bizarre

How bizarre

Destination unknown

As we pull in for some gas

Freshly pasted poster

Reveals a smile from the pack

Elephants and acrobats,

Lions snakes monkey

Pele speaks righteous

Sister Zina says funky

How bizarre

How bizarre

How bizarre

Ooh baby, (ooh baby)

It's making me crazy, (it's making me crazy)

Everytime I look around

Look around

Everytime I look around

Everytime I look around

Everytime I look around

It's in my face

Ringmaster step out

Says the elephants left town

People jump and jive

But the clowns have stuck around

T.V. news and camera

There's choppers in the sky

Marines, police, reporters

Ask where, for and why

Pele yells "we're outta here"

Zina says "right on"

We're making moves and starting grooves

Before they knew we're gone

Jumped into the Chevy

Headed for big lights,

Want to know the rest

Hey, buy the rights,

How bizarre

How bizarre

How bizarre

Ooh baby, (ooh baby)

It's making me crazy, (it's making me crazy)

Everytime I look around

Look around

Everytime I look around

Everytime I look around

Everytime I look around

It's in my face

It's in my face

Ooh baby, (ooh baby)

It's making me crazy, (it's making me crazy)

Everytime I look around

Look around

Everytime I look around

Everytime I look around

Everytime I look around

It's in my face

Ooh baby, (ooh baby)

It's making me crazy, (it's making me crazy)

Everytime I look around

Look around

Everytime I look around

Look around

Everytime I look around

It's in my face
