I love that Cat stevens song. I had never heard it before. Thanks Restrangled
And the goo doo dolls song was amazing; the lines
But if you could hide beside me
Maybe for a while
And I won't tell no one your name
And I won't tell em' your name
make me think of this forum (or support group) whatever you call it.
Thanks guys
These Boots were Made for Walking - Nancy Sinatra

These Boots Were Made For Walking Lyrics
You keep saying you've got something for me.
something you call love, but confess.
You've been messin' where you shouldn't have been a messin'
and now someone else is gettin' all your best.
These boots are made for walking, and that's just what they'll do
one of these days these boots are gonna walk all over you.
You keep lying, when you oughta be truthin'
and you keep losin' when you oughta not bet.
You keep samin' when you oughta be changin'.
Now what's right is right, but you ain't been right yet.
These boots are made for walking, and that's just what they'll do
one of these days these boots are gonna walk all over you.
You keep playin' where you shouldn't be playin
and you keep thinkin' that you?ll never get burnt.
Ha! I just found me a brand new box of matches yeah
and what he know you ain't HAD time to learn.
Are you ready boots? Start walkin'!
Crosby, Stills, Nash - "Long Time Gone"
It's been a long time comin'
It's goin' to be a long time gone.
Appears to be a long time,
Yes, a long, long, long time
Before the dawn.
Turn, turn any corner.
Hear, you must hear what the people say,
You know there's something that's goin' on here,
That surely, surely, surely won't stand the light of day.
Speak out, you got to speak out against
The madness, you got to speak your mind,
If you dare.
It's been a long time comin',
It's been a long time gone.
But you know, the darkest hour,
Is always just before the dawn.
And it appears to be a long time,
Such a long, long, long time before the dawn.
James Hetfield from Metallica was raised as a Christian Scientist so his lyrics seem to hit a bit close as he was in another cult. I think his best lyrics for children who are leaving "the truth".
Dyer's Eve
Dear Mother
Dear Father
What Is this Hell You Have Put Me Through
Believer
Deceiver
Day in Day out Live My Life Through You
Pushed onto Me What's Wrong or Right
Hidden from this Thing That They Call Life
Dear Mother
Dear Father
Every Thought I'd Think You'd Disapprove
Curator
Dictator
Always Censoring My Every Move
Children Are Seen But Are Not Heard
Tear out Everything Inspired
Innocence
Torn from Me Without Your Shelter
Barred Reality
I'm Living Blindly
Dear Mother
Dear Father
Time Has Frozen Still What's Left to Be
Hear Nothing
Say Nothing
Cannot Face the Fact I Think for Me
No Guarantee,it's Life as Is
But Damn You for Not Giving Me My Chance
Dear Mother
Dear Father
You Clipped My Wings Before I Learnt to Fly
Unspoiled
Unspoken
I've Outgrown That Fucking Lullaby
Same Thing I've Always Heard from You
Do as I Say Not as I Do
Innocence
Torn from Me Without Your Shelter
Barred Reality
I'm Living Blindly
I'm in Hell Without You
Cannot Cope Without You Two
Shocked at the World That I See
Innocent Victim Please Rescue Me
Dear Mother
Dear Father
Hidden in Your World You've Made for Me
I'm Seething
I'm Bleeding
Ripping Wounds in Me That Never Heal
Undying Spite I Feel for You
Living out this Hell You Always Knew
This is a new song but it fits
Wilco~You Never Know
Come on children
You're acting like children
Every generation thinks
its the end of the world
And all ya fat followers
Get fit fast
Every generation thinks it's the last
thinks its the end of the world
Yes dream down a well
There's a lone heavy hell
I don't care anymore
I don't care anymore
It's a feeling we transcend
We're here at the end
I don't care anymore
I don't care anymore
You never know
Come on kids
You're acting like children
Act your age
Put back the black metals and pearls
All ya sword-swallowers pull yourselves together
Every generation thinks its the worst
Thinks it's the end of the world
It's a secret I can't tell
There's a wish down a well
I don't care anymore
I don't care anymore
It's a long heavy hell
Super-size it by 10
I don't care anymore
I don't care anymore
You never know
You never know
It's a dear to transcend
Everyone here, at the end
I don't care anymore
I don't care anymore
I don't care anymore
I don't care anymore
You never know
From the musical "Sweet Charity"
"There's gotta be something better than this,There's gotta be something better to do.
And when I find me something better to do,
I'm gonna get up, I'm gonna get out
I'm gonna get up, get out and do it!
There's gotta be some respectable trade,
There's gotta be something easy to learn.
And if I find me something I halfwit can learn,
I'm gonna get up, I'm gonna get out
I'm gonna get up, get out and learn it!"
Then there was a Paul Simon song, "Fifty Ways To Leave Your Lover"
"You just slip out the back, Jack
Make a new plan, Stan
You don't need to be coy, Roy
Just get yourself free
Hop on the bus, Gus
You don't need to discuss much
Just drop off the key, Lee
And get yourself free
There is some really great stuff here! I love it! Next apostafest: Hire a bnad and play songs like these!
With deepest apologies to Paul Simon:
50 Ways to Leave Your "Mother"
The problem is all inside your head he said to me,
The answer is easy if you take it logically.
I'd like to help you in your struggle to be free,
There must be 50 ways to leave your "Mother."
He said it's really not my habit to intrude,
Furthermore, I hope my meaning won't be lost
or misconstrued.
But I'll repeat myself at the risk of being rude,
There must be 50 ways to leave your "Mother......50 ways to leave your "Mother."
Call Elderettes "bitch", Rich,
Puff on a smoke, Bloke,
Bring porn to the Hall, Paul.
Grow your hair long, Wong,
Show a little skin, Lyn,
Get out of your cage, Page.
Just get yourself free.
Tinsel your tree, Lee,
Wear a big Cross, Ross.
Get a new tat, Matt.
Please listen to me.
Take blood to get well, Del,
Say Satan's Da Man, Dan,
Call the Pope "Boss", Josh.
Stop preaching hate, Nate,
and go out and mate.
You'll get yourself free.
He said "it grieves me so to see you in such pain,
"I wish there was something I could do to make you
smile once again."
I said, "I would appreciate that
and would you please explain?"
He said, "why don't we both just sleep on it tonight?"
"I believe that in the morning
you'll begin to see the light",
And then he hugged me and I realized
he probably was right.
There must be 50 ways to leave your "Mother.....50 ways to leave your "Mother."
Do fun things in bed, Ted,
Like getting some head,
That's what he said.
Take a dump on the stage, Page,
Send the Elders to hell, Belle,
Give them some flack, Jack.
No need to discuss much,
Just get yourself free.
The GB's a mess, Jess,
They're sucking your blood, Jud,
You can't play with your pud, Bud.
Stop being blue, Sue,
Please hear what I say.
Salute that old Flag, Dag,
Get drunk at a wake, Jake,
Sing a Pagan Hymn, Jim,
Get some spiked hair, Jer,
Find a gay pal, Al,
And act really scary, Gary.
Your "Mother" will flee.
Be proud of your nob, Bob,
Dare to act sick, Rick,
Just take her to bed, Fred.
And then you'll be free.
Just write your DA, Ray,
and get a DF, Jeff,
It's no time to play, Jay,
Just do what I say.
Tomorrow's a new day,
So get yourself free.
There must be 50 ways to leave your "Mother." 50 ways to leave your "Mother".....
(Or you could just fade and be really boring!)
