"There's a hole in my soul, you can see it im my face it's a real big place" Feel - Robbie Williams

johnny cash- when i was just a baby, my momma told me son, always be a good boy, don't ever play with guns, but i shot a man in reno.........just to watch him die

pink floyd- and you run and you run to catch up with the sun but it's sinking......racing around.....to come up behind you again......the sun is the same in a relative way but your older, shorter of breath, and one day closer to death.

He used to do surgery
For girls in the eighties
But gravity always wins.

That's "Breath in the Air" off the Dark Side of the Moon isn't it?

Good choice

bigdreaux

it's time, it really puts life into perspective

bigdreaux

that whole song is great.

time:pink floyd

Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day
You fritter and waste the hours in an off hand way
Kicking around on a piece of ground in your home town
Waiting for someone or something to show you the way

Tired of lying in the sunshine staying home to watch the rain
You are young and life is long and there is time to kill today
And then one day you find ten years have got behind you
No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun

And you run and you run to catch up with the sun, but its sinking
And racing around to come up behind you again
The sun is the same in the relative way, but youre older
Shorter of breath and one day closer to death

Every year is getting shorter, never seem to find the time
Plans that either come to naught or half a page of scribbled lines
Hanging on in quiet desperation is the english way
The time is gone, the song is over, thought Id something more to say

Home, home again
I like to be here when I can
And when I come home cold and tired
Its good to warm my bones beside the fire
Far away across the field
The tolling of the iron bell
Calls the faithful to their knees
To hear the softly spoken magic spells.

'The Remedy' by Jason Mranz

Cause the remedy
Is the experience
This is a dangerous liason
I says the comedy
Is that it's serious
This is a strange enough
New play on words

I said the tragedy is
How you're gonna spend
The rest of your nights
With the light on
Shine the light on
All your friends
When it all amounts
To nothing in the end

"Life is what happens when you're busy making other plans" John Lennon, "Beautiful Boy"

They say a watched pot won't ever boil
Well I closed my eyes and nothing changed
Just some water getting hotter in the flames

Arcade Fire- Neighborhood #4( 7 Kettles)

I want a good life with a nose for things
A fresh wind and bright skies To enjoy my sufferings

Wilco- Ashes of American Flags

Will the fight for sanity be the fight of our lives?
Now that we've lost all the reasons
That we thought that we had

The Flaming Lips- The Gash

But I wanted so much more
I got exodus damage bleed
Could not commit
Some things I'll never be

John Vanderslice- Exodus Damage

A heart that's full up like a landfill
A job that slowly kills you
Bruises that won't heal
You look so tired, unhappy
Bring down the government
They don't, they don't speak for us
I'll take the quiet life
A handshake of carbon monoxide

Radiohead- No Surprises

"Life is what happens when you're busy making other plans" John Lennon, "Beautiful Boy"
