  ONE by U2 dedicated to my parents:

  ONE

  Is it getting better
  Or do you feel the same
  Will it make it easier on you
  Now you got someone to blame
  
  You say
  One love
  One life
  When its one need
  In the night
  Its one love
  We get to share it
  It leaves you baby
  If you dont care for it
  
  Did I disappoint you?
  Or leave a bad taste in your mouth?
  You act like you never had love
  And you want me to go without
  
  Well its too late
  Tonight
  To drag tha past out
  Into the light
  Were one
  But were not the same
  We get to carry each other
  Carry each other
  One
  
  Have you come here for forgiveness
  Have you come tor raise the dead
  Have you come here to play jesus
  To the lepers in your head
  Did I ask too much
  More than a lot
  You gave me nothing
  Now its all I got
  Were one
  But were not the same
  We hurt each other
  Then we do it again
  
  You say
  Love is a temple
  Love a higher law
  Love is a temple
  Love the higher law
  You ask me to enter
  But then you make me crawl
  And I cant be holding on
  To what you got
  When all you got is hurt
  
  One love
  One blood
  One life
  You got to do what you should
  
  One life
  With each other
  Sisters
  Brothers
  
  One life
  But were not the same
  We get to carry each other
  Carry each other
  
  One
  
  One.

  This is for a friend of mine who is in a similar position to the one I was in 18 months or so ago.

  I know you lurk on here J., think about it

  Nothing Left to Lose

  The Alan Parsons Project Nothing’s good the news is bad The heat goes on and it drives you mad Scornful thoughts that fly your way You should turn away cause there’s nothing more to say You gave the best you had to give You only had one life to live You fought so hard you were a slave After all you gave there was nothing left to save You've got nothing left to lose (You've got nothing left to lose) No you've got nothing left to lose (Who'd wanna be standing in your shoes) You read the book, you turned the page You change your life in a thousand ways The dawn of reason lights your eyes With the key you realise To the kingdom of the wise You’ve got nothing left to lose (you’ve got nothing left to lose) No you’ve got nothing left to lose (who’d wanna be standing in your shoes) Nothing ventured nothing gained No more lingering doubt remained Nothing sacred or profane Everything to gain Cause you’ve nothing left

  Bigwilly, Thank you. I clicked the link again, cried again, scrolled down and found your songs. I see Metallica more than once, not this one.

  So close no matter how far
  Couldn't be much more from the heart
  Forever trusting who we are
  And nothing else matters
  
  Never opened myself this way
  Life is ours, we live it our way
  All these words I don't just say
  And nothing else matters
  
  Trust I seek and I find in you
  Every day for us something new
  Open mind for a different view
  And nothing else matters
  
  Never cared for what they do
  Never cared for what they know
  But I know
  
  So close no matter how far
  It couldn't be much more from the heart
  Forever trusting who we are
  And nothing else matters
  
  Never cared for what they do
  Never cared for what they know
  But I know
  
  I never opened myself this way
  Life is ours, we live it our way
  All these words I don't just say
  And nothing else matters
  
  Trust I seek and I find in you
  Every day for us something new
  Open mind for a different view
  And nothing else matters
  
  Never cared for what they say
  Never cared for games they play
  Never cared for what they do
  Never cared for what they know
  And I know
  
  So close no matter how far
  Couldn't be much more from the heart
  Forever trusting who we are
  No, nothing else matters

  Nothing Else Matters is a truly beutiful song. My wife and I had a version of it by Apocalyptica as our recessional at our wedding. It had a deep meaning to me that I didn't want to muddy with my interactions with my parents.

  Again, thankyou for your kind commetns and I hope you get to enjoy the music.

  See through in the sunlight She wore lemon But never in the daylight She's gonna make you cry She's gonna make you whisper and moan And when you're dry She draws her water from the stone And I feel Like I'm slowly, slowly, slowly slipping under And I feel Like I'm holding onto nothing She wore lemon To colour in the cold grey night She had heaven And she held on so tight A man makes a picture A moving picture Through the light projected He can see himself up close A man captures colour A man likes to stare He turns his money into light to look for her And I feel Like I'm drifting, drifting, drifting from the shore And I feel Like I'm swimming out to her Midnight is where the day begins Lemon See through in the sunlight A man builds a city With banks and cathedrals A man melts the sand so he can See the world outside - You're gonna meet her there A man makes a car - She's your destination And builds roads to run them on - You gotta get to her A man dreams of leaving - She's imagination But he always stays behind And these are the days When our work has come assunder And these are the days When we look for something other Midnight is where the day begins A man makes a picture A moving picture Through the light projected He can see himself up close - You're gonna meet her there A man captures colour - She's your destination A man likes to stare - There's no sleeping there He turns his money into light - She's imagination To look for her Lemon She is the dreamer She's imagination - She had heaven Through the light projected He can see himself up close - She wore lemon 

  This song is for someone I am thinking of right now.

  Craig - you are so welcome

  DJK - thank you for your pm - I hope the tears were theraputic for you. Big hugs

  BW - Nothing Else Matters was one of the songs I left the dubs too - along with Smells Like Teen Spirit by Nirvana. An all time favourite of mine. You have good taste!(in so many ways)

  This one is for Mr C!

  Hate Me, Blue October

  I have to block out thoughts of you so I don’t lose my head 
  They crawl in like a cockroach leaving babies in my bed 
  Dropping little reels of tape to remind me that I’m alone 
  Playing movies in my head that make a porno feel like home
  There's a burning in my pride, a nervous bleeding in my brain 
  An ounce of peace is all I want for you. will you never call again? 
  And will you never say that you love me just to put it in my face? 
  And will you never try to reach me? it is I that wanted space 
  Hate me today, 
  Hate me tomorrow, 
  Hate me for all the things I didn’t do for you 
  Hate me in ways 
  Yeah ways hard to swallow 
  Hate me so you can finally see what’s good for you
  I’m sober now for 3 whole months it’s one accomplishment that you helped me with 
  The one thing that always tore us apart is the one thing I won’t touch again 
  And in a sick way I want to thank you for holding my head up late at night 
  While I was busy waging wars with myself, you were trying to stop the fight 
  You never doubted my warped opinions on things like suicidal hate
  You made me compliment myself when it was way too hard to take 
  So I’ll drive so fucking far away that I never cross your mind 
  And do whatever it takes in your heart to leave me behind 
  Hate me today 
  Hate me tomorrow 
  Hate me for all the things I didn’t do for you 
  Hate me in ways Yeah ways hard to swallow 
  Hate me so you can finally see what’s good for you 
  And with a sad heart I say bye to you and wave 
  Kicking shadows on the street for every mistake that I had made
  And like a [silly girl] I never was a [grown] 
  Until I saw your blue eyes cry and I held your face in my hand 
  And then fell down yelling “make it go away!” 
  Just make [my] smile come back and shine just like it used to be 
  And then [I] whispered “how can you do this to me?”
  Hate me today 
  Hate me tomorrow 
  Hate me for all the things I didn’t do for you 
  Hate me in ways 
  Yeah ways hard to swallow 
  Hate me so you can finally see what’s good for you

  Goodbye.

  Survivor by Destiny's Child (Verse 1) Now that you are out of my life, I'm so much better, You thought that I'd be weak without ya, But I'm stronger, You thought that I'd be broke without ya, But I'm richer, You thought that I'd be sad without ya, I laugh harder, You thought I wouldn't grow without ya, Now I'm wiser, You thought that I'd be helpless without ya, But I'm smarter, You thought that I'd be stressed without ya, But I'm chillin' You thought I wouldn't sell without ya, Sold nine million. [Chorus] I'm a survivor (what), I'm not gonna give up (what), I'm not gon' stop (what), I'm gonna work harder (what), I'm a survivor (what), I'm gonna make it (what), I will survive (what), Keep on survivin' (what), I'm a survivor (what), I'm not gonna give up (what), I'm not gon' stop (what), I'm gonna work harder (what), I'm a survivor (what), I'm gonna make it (what), I will survive (what), Keep on survivin' (what). (Verse 2) Thought I couldn't breathe without you, I'm inhalin' You thought I couldn't see without you, Perfect vision, You thought I couldn't last without ya, But I'm lastin' You thought that I would die without ya, But I'm livin' Thought that I would fail without ya, But I'm on top, Though it would be over by now, But it won't stop, You thought that I would self-destruct, But I'm still here, Even in my years to come, I'm still gon' be here. [Chorus] I'm a survivor (what), I'm not gonna give up (what), I'm not gon' stop (what), I'm gonna work harder (what), I'm a survivor (what), I'm gonna make it (what), I will survive (what), Keep on survivin' (what), I'm a survivor (what), I'm not gonna give up (what), I'm not gon' stop (what), I'm gonna work harder (what), I'm a survivor (what), I'm gonna make it (what), I will survive (what), Keep on survivin' (what). (Bridge) I'm wishin' you the best, Pray that you are blessed, Much success, no stress, and lots of happiness, (I'm better than that) I'm not gonna blast you on the radio, (I'm better than that) I'm not gonna lie on you or your family, yo, (I'm better than that) I'm not gonna hate you in the magazine, (I'm better than that) I'm not gonna compromise my Christianity, (I'm better than that) You know I'm not gonna diss you on the Internet Cause my momma told me better than that. [Chorus] I'm a survivor (what), I'm not gonna give up (what), I'm not gon' stop (what), I'm gonna work harder (what), I'm a survivor (what), I'm gonna make it (what), I will survive (what), Keep on survivin' (what), I'm a survivor (what), I'm not gonna give up (what), I'm not gon' stop (what), I'm gonna work harder (what), I'm a survivor (what), I'm gonna make it (what), I will survive (what), Keep on survivin' (what). Oh (Oh) Oh (Oh) Oh (Oh) Oh (Oh) Oh (Oh) Oh (Oh) Oh (Oh) Oh (Oh) After all of the darkness and sadness, Still comes happiness, If I surround myself with positive things, I'll gain prosperity. [Chorus] I'm a survivor (what), I'm not gonna give up (what), I'm not gon' stop (what), I'm gonna work harder (what), I'm a survivor (what), I'm gonna make it (what), I will survive (what), Keep on survivin' (what), I'm a survivor (what), I'm not gonna give up (what), I'm not gon' stop (what)(Don't stop me now) I'm gonna work harder (what), I'm a survivor (what), I'm gonna make it (what), I will survive (what), Keep on survivin' (what). [Chorus] I'm a survivor (what), I'm not gonna give up (what), I'm not gon' stop (what), I'm gonna work harder (what), I'm a survivor (what), I'm gonna make it (what), I will survive (what), Keep on survivin' (what), I'm a survivor (what), I'm not gonna give up (what), I'm not gon' stop (what), I'm gonna work harder (what), I'm a survivor (what), I'm gonna make it (what), I will survive (what), Keep on survivin' (what).

  Thank you crumpet and tall penquin for your dedications. You are both very sweet to think about me. I'm going to get through all this and I'm going to deal with the underlying issues that have brought all this drama into my life in the first place.

  So ((((((((((hugs)))))))))) to both of you and everyone else who has been so kind to me.

  Sinead O'connor Lyrics
  

  Black Coffee Lyrics

  (P.F. Webster / S. Burke)
  
  I'm feelin'mighty lonesome,
  haven't slept a wink
  I walk the floor and watch
  the door and in between
  I drink black coffee
  Love's hand me down broom
  I'll never know a Sunday
  In this weekday room
  I'm talkin' to the shadows
  One o'clock till four
  And Lord, how slow
  the moments go
  When all I do is pour
  black coffee
  Since the blues caught my eye
  I'm hangin'out on Monday
  my Sunday dreams to dry
  Now a man is born to go a lovin'
  A woman's born to weep and fret
  To stay at home and
  tend her over
  And drown het past regrets
  in coffee and cigarettes!
  I'm moanin' all the mornin'
  And mournin' all the night
  And in between it's nicotine
  And not much heart to fight
  black coffee
  Feelin'low as the ground
  It's drivin' me crazy
  This waiting for my baby
  To maybe come around
