    "Don't Care Anymore"

    by Phil Collins

    Well you can tell ev'ryone I'm a down disgrace
    Drag my name all over the place.
    I don't care anymore.
    You can tell ev'rybody 'bout the state I'm in
    You won't catch me crying 'cos I just can't win.
    I don't care anymore I don't care anymore

    I don't care what you say
    I don't play the same games you play.

    'Cos I've been talking to the people that you call your friends
    And it seems to me there's a means to and end.
    They don't care anymore.
    And as for me I can sit here and bide my time
    I got nothing to lose if I speak my mind.
    I don't care anymore I don't care no more

    I don't care what you say
    We never played by the same rules anyway.

    I won't be there anymore
    Get out of my way
    Let me by
    I got better things to do with my time
    I don't care anymore I don't care anymore
    I don't care anymore I don't care anymore

    Well, I don't care now what you say
    'Cos ev'ry day I'm feeling fine with myself
    And I don't care now what you say
    Hey I'll do alright by myself
    'Cos I know.

    'Cos I remember all the times I tried so hard
    And you laughed in my face 'cos you held all the cards.
    I don't care anymore.
    And I really ain't bothered what you think of me
    'Cos all I want of you is just a let me be.
    I don't care anymore D'you hear? I don't care no more

    I don't care what you say
    I never did believe you much anyway.

    I won't be there no more
    So get out of my way.
    Let me by
    I got better things to do with my time
    I don't care anymore
    D'you hear? I don't care anymore
    I don't care no more
    You listening? I don't care no more
    No more!

    You know I don't care no more!

    And when I left for Florida...

    "Breakaway"

    from Kelly Clarkson

    Grew up in a small town
    And when the rain would fall down
    I'd just stare out my window
    Dreaming of what could be
    And if I'd end up happy
    I would pray

    Trying hard to reach out
    But when I tried to speak out
    Felt like no one could hear me
    Wanted to belong here
    But something felt so wrong here
    So I'd pray
    I could break away

    I'll spread my wings and I'll learn how to fly.
    I'll do what it takes till I touch the sky.
    Make a wish, take a chance,
    Make a change, and break away.
    Out of the darkness and into the sun.
    But I won't forget all the ones that I love.
    I'll take a risk, take a chance,
    Make a change, and break away

    Wanna feel the warm breeze
    Sleep under a palm tree
    Feel the rush of the ocean
    Get onboard a fast train
    Travel on a jetplane
    Far away
    And break away

    I'll spread my wings and I'll learn how to fly.
    I'll do what it takes till I touch the sky.
    Make a wish, take a chance,
    Make a change, and break away.
    Out of the darkness and into the sun.
    But I won't forget all the ones that I love.
    I'll take a risk, take a chance,
    Make a change, and break away

    Buildings with a hundred floors
    Swinging with revolving doors
    Maybe I don’t know where they’ll take me
    Gotta keep movin on movin on
    Fly away
    Break away

    I'll spread my wings and I'll learn how to fly.
    Though it’s not easy to tell you goodbye
    Take a risk, take a chance,
    Make a change, and break away.
    Out of the darkness and into the sun.
    But I won't forget the place I come from
    I gotta take a risk, take a chance,
    Make a change, and break away
    Breakaway
    Break away

    Great lyrics CL!

    These lines spoke to me, I really started paying attention with the line about grace.

    Forget what we're told
    Before we get too old
    Show me a garden that's bursting into life

    Let's waste time
    Chasing cars
    Around our heads

    I need your grace
    To remind me
    To find my own

    If I lay here
    If I just lay here
    would you lie with me and just forget the world?

    Forget what we're told
    Before we get too old
    Show me a garden that's bursting into life

    All that I am
    All that I ever was
    Is here in your perfect eyes, they're all I can see

    I don't know where
    Confused about how as well
    Just know that these things will never change for us at all

    If I lay here
    If I just lay here
    would you lie with me and just forget the world?

    All the best,

    Stephen

    There is a song I've been hearing on the radio a lot lately. It's by Matthew West, entitled "The Motions". The gist of it is stop just going through the motions of life, but really live. That's what I get from it anyway, and wanting to get out of this limbo I'm in right now.

    Joni Mitchel- both sides

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v9j_j-cUwKc

    Joni Mitchell - Both Sides Now

    Rows and flows of angel hair
    And ice cream castles in the air
    And feather canyons ev'rywhere
    I've looked at clouds that way
    But now they only block the sun
    They rain and snow on everyone
    So many things I would have done
    But clouds got in my way
    I've looked at clouds from both sides now
    From up and down, and still somehow
    It's cloud illusions I recall
    I really don't know clouds at all

    Moons and Junes and Ferris wheels
    The dizzy dancing way you feel
    As ev'ry fairy tale comes real
    I've looked at love that way

    But now it's just another show
    You leave 'em laughing when you go
    And if you care, don't let them know
    Don't give yourself away

    I've looked at love from both sides now
    From give and take, and still somehow
    It's love's illusions I recall
    I really don't know love at all

    Tears and fears and feeling proud
    To say "I love you" right out loud
    Dreams and schemes and circus crowds
    I've looked at life that way

    But now old friends are acting strange
    They shake their heads, they say I've changed
    Well something's lost, but something's gained
    In living ev'ry day

    I've looked at life from both sides now
    From win and lose and still somehow
    It's life's illusions I recall
    I really don't know life at all
    I've looked at life from both sides now
    From up and down, and still somehow
    It's life's illusions I recall
    I really don't know life at all

    Muse The Resistance
    Uprising

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AtZV5XdfqrI

    The paranoia is in bloom, the PR
    The transmissions will resume
    They'll try to push drugs
    Keep us all dumbed down and hope that
    We will never see the truth around
    (So come on!)

    Another promise, another scene, another
    A package not to keep us trapped in greed
    With all the green belts wrapped around our minds
    And endless red tape to keep the truth confined
    (So come on!)

    [Chorus]
    They will not force us
    They will stop degrading us
    They will not control us
    We will be victorious

    Interchanging mind control
    Come let the revolution take its toll if you could
    Flick the switch and open your third eye, you'd see that
    We should never be afraid to die
    (So come on!)

    Rise up and take the power back, it's time that
    The fat cats had a heart attack, you know that
    Their time is coming to an end
    We have to unify and watch our flag ascend

    [Chorus]
    They will not force us
    They will stop degrading us
    They will not control us
    We will be victorious

    Hey .. hey ... hey .. hey!
    (repeat)

    [Chorus]
    They will not force us
    They will stop degrading us
    They will not control us
    We will be victorious

    Hey .. hey ... hey .. hey!
