    I wish you would step back from that ledge, my friend
    You could cut ties with all the lies
    That you've been living in
    And if you do not want to see me again
    I would understand
    I would understand
    The angry boy, a bit too insane
    Icing over a secret pain
    You know you don't belong
    You're the first to fight
    You're way too loud
    You're the flash of light
    On a burial shroud
    I know something's wrong
    Well everyone I know has got a reason
    To say
    Put the past away
    I wish you would step back from that ledge, my friend
    You could cut ties with all the lies
    That you've been living in
    And if you do not want to see me again
    I would understand
    I would understand
    Well, he's on the table
    And he's gone to code
    And I do not think anyone knows
    What they are doing here
    And your friends have left
    You've been dismissed
    I never thought it would come to this
    And I
    I want you to know
    Everyone's got to face down the demons
    Maybe today
    We can put the past away
    I wish you would step back from that ledge, my friend
    You could cut ties with all the lies
    That you've been living in
    And if you do not want to see me again
    I would understand
    I would understand
    I would understand
    Can you put the past away
    I wish you would step back from that ledge, my friend
    I would understand...

    I think my favorite classic rock song is by Quiet Riot "Cum on Feel the Noise"

    FRUITCAKES - JIMMY BUFFET

    Fruitcakes
    By: jimmy buffett, amy lee
    1994
    --spoken:
    You know I was talking to my friend desdemona the other day she
    Runs this space station and bake shop down near boomtown. she told
    Me that human beings are flawed individuals. the cosmic bakers
    Took us out of the oven a little too early. and that’s the
    Reason we’re as crazy as we are and I believe it.

    Take for example when you go to the movies these days, you know.
    They try to sell you this jumbo drink, 8 extra ounces of watered
    Down cherry coke for an extra 25 cents. I don’t want it.
    I don’t want that much organziation in my life.
    I don’t want other people thinking for me.
    I want my junior mints. where did the junior mints go in the
    Movies. I don’t want a 12 lb. nestle’s crunch for 25 dollars. i
    Want junior mints.

    We need more fruitcakes in this world and less bakers!
    We need people that care! I’m mad as hell! and I don’t want to
    Take it anymore!

    Chorus:
    Fruitcakes in the kitchen (fruitcakes in the kitchen)
    Fruitcakes on the street (fruitcakes on the street)
    Struttin’ naked through the crosswalk
    In the middle of the week
    Half-baked cookies in the oven (cookies in the oven)
    Half-baked people on the bus (people on the bus)
    There’s a little bit of fruitcake left in everyone of us

    Paradise, lost and found
    Paradise, take a look around
    I was out in california where I hear they have it all
    They got riots, fires, mud slides
    They’ve got sushi in the mall
    Water bars, brontasaurs, chinese modern lust
    Shake and bake life with the quake
    The secret’s in the crust

    Chorus:
    Fruitcakes in the kitchen (fruitcakes in the kitchen)
    Fruitcakes on the street (fruitcakes on the street)
    Struttin’ naked through the crosswalk
    In the middle of the week
    Half-baked cookies in the oven (cookies in the oven)
    Half-baked people on the bus (people on the bus)
    There’s a little bit of fruitcake left in everyone of us

    --spoken:
    Speakin’ of fruitcakes, how ’bout the government?
    Your tax dollars at work.

    We lost our martian rocket ship
    The high paid spokesman said
    Looks like that silly rocket ship
    Has lost it’s cone shaped head
    We spent 90 jillion dollars trying to get a look at mars
    I hear universal laughter ringing out among the stars

    Chorus:
    Fruitcakes in the galaxy (fruitcakes in the galaxy)
    Fuitcakes on the earth (fruitcakes on the earth)
    Struttin’ naked towards eternity
    We’ve been that way since birth
    Half-baked cookies in the oven (cookies in the oven)
    Half-baked people on the bus (people on the bus)
    There’s a little bit of fruitcake left in everyone of us

    --spoken:
    Religion! religion! oh, there’s a thin line between saturday
    Night and sunday morning. here we go now.
    Alright, alter boys.

    Mea culpa mea culpa mea maxima culpa
    Mea culpa mea culpa mea maxima culpa

    Where’s the church, who took the steeple
    Religion is in the hands of some crazy-ass people
    Television preachers with bad hair and dimples
    The god’s honest truth is it’s not that simple
    It’s the buddhist in you, it’s the pagan in me
    It’s the muslim in him, she’s catholic ain’t she?
    It’s the born again look it’s the wasp and the jew
    Tell me what’s goin on, I ain’t gotta clue

    --spoken:
    Now here comes the big ones. relationships! we all got ’em, we
    All want ’em. what do we do with ’em?
    Here we go, I’ll tell ya.

    She said you gotta do your fair share
    Now cough up half the rent
    I treat my body like a temple
    You treat yours like a tent
    But the right word at the right time
    May get me a little hug
    That’s the difference between lightning
    And a harmless lightnin’ bug

    Chorus:
    Fruitcakes in the kitchen (fruitcakes in the kitchen)
    Fruitcakes on the street (fruitcakes on the street)
    Struttin’ naked through the crosswalk
    In the middle of the week
    Half-baked cookies in the oven (cookies in the oven)
    Half-baked people on the bus (people on the bus)
    There’s a little bit of fruitcake left in everyone of us

    --spoken:
    The future. captain’s log, stardate two thousand and something.

    We’re seven years from the millenium
    That’s a science fiction fact
    Stanley kubrick and his buddy hal
    Now don’t look that abstract
    So I’ll put on my bob marley tape
    And practice what I preach
    Get jah lost in the reggae mon
    As I walk along the beach
    Stay in touch with my insanity really is the only way
    Its a jungle out there kiddies
    Have a very fruitful day
    Hey.

    Chorus:
    Fruitcakes in the kitchen (fruitcakes in the kitchen)
    Fruitcakes on the street (fruitcakes on the street)
    Struttin’ naked through the crosswalk
    In the middle of the week
    Half-baked cookies in the oven (cookies in the oven)
    Half-baked people on the bus (people on the bus)
    There’s a little bit of fruitcake left in everyone of us

    --spoken:
    That’s right, you too. yeah those crumbs are spread all around
    This universe. I’ve seen fruitcakes. I saw this guy in santa
    Monica rollerskate naked through the crosswalk. down in new
    Orleans in the french market there are fruitcakes like you cannot
    Believe. new york, forget it. fruitcake city. down island, we’ve got
    Fruitcakes. spread them crumbs around. that’s right, we want
    ’em around. keep bakin’ baby. keep bakin’.

    Greendays - "Boulevard of Broken Dreams"

    I don't know if this song helped me but everytime I turned on the radio it was on, for about six months, it actually became a joke between my husband and I. He calls it my theme song. In some ways it made me want to shoot myself and others, it was comforting. Maybe it isn't so bad walking alone.

    christains and the pagens by dar williams since i had turned atheist. Amber called her uncle, said "We're up here for the holiday, Jane and I were having Solstice, now we need a place to stay." And her Christ-loving uncle watched his wife hang Mary on a tree, He watched his song hang candy canes all made with red dye number three. He told his niece, "Its Christmas Eve, I know our life is not your style," She said, "Christmas is like Solstice, and we miss you and its been awhile," So the Christians and the Pagans sat together at the table, Finding faith and common ground the best that they were able, And just before the meal was served, hands were held and prayers were said, Sending hope for peace on earth to all their gods and goddesses. The food was great, the tree plugged in, the meal had gone without a hitch, Till Timmy turned to Amber and said, "Is it try that youre a wtich?" His mom jumped up and said, "The pies are burning," and she hit the kitchen, And it was Jane who spoke, she said, "Its true, your cousins not a Christian," "But we love trees, we love the snow, the friends we have, the world we share, And you find magic from your God, and we find magic everywhere," So the Christians and the Pagans sat together at the table, Finding faith and common ground the best that they were able, And where does magic come from? I think magics in the learning, Cause now when Christians sit with Pagans only pumpkin pies are burning. When Amber tried to do the dishes, her aunt said, "Really, no, dont bother." Ambers uncle saw how Amber looked like Tim and like her father. He thought about his brother, how they hadnt spoken in a year, He thought hed call him up and say, "Its Christmas and your daughters here." He thought of fathers, sons and brothers, so his own son tug his sleeve, saying, "Can I be a Pagan?" Dad said, "Well discuss it when they leave." So the Christians and the Pagans sat together at the table, Finding faith and common ground the best that they were able, Lighting trees in darkness, learning new ways from the old, and Making sense of history and drawing warmth out of the cold.

    Limp Bizkit:

    My Way (or the highway), Rollin', Break Stuff, Nookie- all good cool down, coming home from the meeting tunes.

    Rap: DMX (Yall gon' make me loose my mind) EMINEM- Funny, cause I'm a seriously country person, but Rap is so appealing, I guess because the society condemns it.

    "Great Big Lie" By The Tea Party

    God is pressure
    God is pressure more or less
    And it takes a lifetime
    A life of lies to make a mess

    But you suffer
    I see you suffer with a smile
    Well look around yourself
    Baby, don't you think you're in denial?

    And it hurts so bad
    To see your garden of debris
    Don't make a move now
    Could be the thing that sets you free

    Ah, but you suffer
    I see you suffer with a smile
    Well look around yourself,
    Baby, don't you think you're in denial?

    All you say now
    Is a great big lie
    (Just say you didn't mean it)
    And you'll still deny
    It's a great big lie

    You pulled the plug
    You pulled the plug to save your face
    And I'd be the first
    To reconcilliate the grace

    Ah, but you suffer
    I see you suffer with a smile
    Look around yourself
    Baby, don't you think you're in denial?

    All you say now
    Is a great big lie
    (Just say you didn't mean it)
    And you'll still deny
    It's a great big lie
