  Cat Stevens/Father And Son

  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b-7c4VNGOgU&feature=fvst

  Father:

  It's not time to make a change,
  Just relax, take it easy.
  You're still young, that's your fault,
  There's so much you have to know.
  Find a girl, settle down,
  If you want you can marry.
  Look at me, I am old, but I'm happy.
  
  I was once like you are now, and I know that it's not easy,
  To be calm when you've found something going on.
  But take your time, think a lot,
  Why, think of everything you've got.
  For you will still be here tomorrow, but your dreams may not.
  
  Son:

  How can I try to explain, when I do he turns away again.
  It's always been the same, same old story.
  From the moment I could talk I was ordered to listen.
  Now there's a way and I know that I have to go away.
  I know I have to go.
  
  Father:

  It's not time to make a change,
  Just sit down, take it slowly.
  You're still young, that's your fault,
  There's so much you have to go through.
  Find a girl, settle down,
  if you want you can marry.
  Look at me, I am old, but I'm happy.
  
  Son:

  All the times that I cried, keeping all the things I knew inside,
  It's hard, but it's harder to ignore it.
  If they were right, I'd agree, but it's them they know not me.
  Now there's a way and I know that I have to go away.
  I know I have to go.

  James Taylor/Fire And Rain

  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JOIo4lEpsPY

  Just yesterday morning, they let me know you were gone
  Suzanne the plans they made put an end to you
  I walked out this morning and I wrote down this song
  I just can't remember who to send it to
  
  I've seen fire and I've seen rain
  I've seen sunny days that I thought would never end
  I've seen lonely times when I could not find a friend
  But I always thought that I'd see you again
  
  Won't you look down upon me, Jesus
  You've got to help me make a stand
  You've just got to see me through another day
  My body's aching and my time is at hand
  And I won't make it any other way
  
  Oh, I've seen fire and I've seen rain
  I've seen sunny days that I thought would never end
  I've seen lonely times when I could not find a friend
  But I always thought that I'd see you again
  
  I’ve been walking my mind to an easy time
  My back turned towards the sun
  Lord knows the cold wind blows it’ll turn your head around
  Well, there’s hours of time on the telephone line
  To talk about things to come
  Sweet dreams and flying machines in pieces on the ground.
  
  Oh, I've seen fire and I've seen rain
  I've seen sunny days that I thought would never end
  I've seen lonely times when I could not find a friend
  But I always thought that I'd see you, baby, one more time again, now
  
  Thought I'd see you one more time again
  There's just a few things coming my way this time around,
  Thought I'd see you, thought I'd see you fire and rain, now
  Thought I'd see you just one more time again.

  Joe Walsh/One Day At A Time

  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xh9Z4topNx0

  Well you know, I was always the first to arrive at the party
  Oh, and the last to leave the scene of the crime
  Well it started with a couple of beers,
  And it went I dont know how many years,
  Like a runaway train headed for the end of the line Well I finally got around to admit that I might have a problem
  But I thought it was just too damn big of a mountain to climb
  Well I got down on my knees and said 'Hey!' 'I just cant go on livin' this way!' Guess I have to learn to live my life one day at a time. Oh ya! One day at a time!
  Oh ya! One day at a time!
  
  Oh ya! One day at a time!
  Oh ya! One day at a time!
  
  Well I finally got around to admit that I was a problem When I used to put the blame on everybody's shoulders but mine All the friends I used to run with are gone,
  Lord, I hadn't planned on living this long I have to learn to live my life one day at a time!
  
  It was something it was too blind to see,
  I got help from something greater than me..
  And I have to learn to live my life one day at a time!

  Tell me this wasn't how all of us felt while in the cult.

  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kXYiU_JCYtU&playnext=1&list=PLE4D82678A7887844

  I'm tired of being what you want me to be
  Feeling so faithless, lost under the surface
  I don't know what you're expecting of me
  Put under the pressure of walking in your shoes
  
  (Caught in the undertow just caught in the undertow)
  Every step that I take is another mistake to you
  (Caught in the undertow just caught in the undertow)
  
  I've become so numb I can't feel you there
  Become so tired so much more aware
  I'm becoming this all I want to do
  Is be more like me and be less like you
  
  Can't you see that you're smothering me?
  Holding too tightly, afraid to lose control
  ?Cause everything that you thought I would be
  Has fallen apart right in front of you
  
  (Caught in the undertow just caught in the undertow)
  Every step that I take is another mistake to you
  (Caught in the undertow just caught in the undertow)
  And every second I waste is more than I can take
  
  I've become so numb I can't feel you there
  Become so tired so much more aware
  I'm becoming this all I want to do
  Is be more like me and be less like you
  
  And I know I may end up failing too
  But I know you were just like me
  With someone disappointed in you
  
  I've become so numb I can't feel you there
  Become so tired so much more aware
  I'm becoming this all I want to do
  Is be more like me and be less like you
  
  I've become so numb I can't feel you there
  I'm tired of being what you want me to be
  I've become so numb I can't feel you there
  I'm tired of being what you want me to be

  I can't remember anything
  Can't tell if this is true or dream
  Deep down inside I feel the scream
  This terrible silence stops it there
  
  Now that the war is through with me
  I'm waking up, I cannot see
  That there's not much left of me
  Nothing is real but pain now
  
  Hold my breath as I wish for death
  Oh please god, help me
  
  Back in the womb it's much too real
  In pumps life that I must feel
  But can't look forward to reveal
  Look to the time when I'll live
  
  Fed through the tube that sticks in me
  Just like a wartime novelty
  Tied to machines that make me be
  Cut this life off from me
  
  Hold my breath as I wish for death
  Oh please god, wake me
  
  Now the world is gone I'm just one
  Oh god, help me
  
  Hold my breath as I wish for death
  Oh please god, help me
  
  Darkness imprisoning me
  All that I see
  Absolute horror
  I cannot live
  I cannot die
  Trapped in myself
  Body my holding cell
  
  Landmines has taken my sight
  Taken my speech
  Taken my hearing
  Taken my arms
  Taken my legs
  Taken my soul
  Left me with life in hell

  For all my religious friends. Boy these lyrics are so true.

  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JmWroc4VarY

  Spineless from the start, sucked into the part
  circus comes to town, you play the lead clown
  Please, please
  spreading his disease, living by his story
  Knees, knees
  falling to your knees, suffer for his glory
  You will
  
  [Chorus]
  Time for lust, time for lie
  time to kiss your life goodbye
  Send me money, send me green
  Heaven you will meet
  Make a contribution
  and you'll get a better seat
  [End Chorus]
  
  Bow to Leper Messiah
  
  Marvel at his tricks, need your Sunday fix
  blind devotion came, rotting your brain
  Chain, chain
  Join the endless chain, taken by his glamour
  Fame, Fame
  Infection is the game, stinking drunk with power
  We see
  
  [Chorus]
  
  Bow to Leper Messiah
  
  Witchery, weakening
  Sees the sheep are gathering
  set the trap, hypnotize
  now you follow
  
  [Chorus]
  
  Lie lie lie lie lie lie lie lie

  Used to listen to this when I was young when I had doubts about my faith. This song would remind me of the guilt and fear that the borg would drill into my head.

  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vCv3h34K2kw

  I'm tired of being me,
  And I don't like what I see,
  I'm not who I appear to be
  So I start off every day,
  Down on my knees I will pray,
  For a change in any way
  But as the day goes by,
  I live through another lie,
  If it's any wonder why
  
  Am I ever gonna change
  Will I always stay the same
  If I say one thing,
  Then I do the other
  It's the same old song,
  That goes on forever
  Am I ever gonna change
  I'm the only one to blame
  When I think I'm right,
  I wind up wrong
  It's a futile fight,
  Gone on too long
  
  Please tell me if it's true,
  Am I too old to start anew,
  Cause that's what I want to do
  But time and time again,
  When I think I can,
  I fall short in the end
  So why do I even try,
  Will it matter when I die,
  Can anyone hear my cry?
  
  Am I ever gonna change
  Take it day by day
  My will is weak
  And my flesh too strong
  This peace I seek
  Till thy kingdom comes

  How can anyone forget this? Can't believe no one has posted it yet.

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

  Hello?
  Is there anybody in there?
  Just nod if you can hear me.
  Is there anyone at home?
  Come on, now,
  I hear you're feeling down.
  Well I can ease your pain
  And get you on your feet again.
  Relax.
  I need some information first.
  Just the basic facts
  Can you show me where it hurts?
  
  There is no pain you are receding
  A distant ship, smoke on the horizon.
  You are only coming through in waves.
  Your lips move but I can't hear what you're saying.
  When I was a child I had a fever
  My hands felt just like two balloons.
  Now I've got that feeling once again
  I can't explain you would not understand
  This is not how I am.
  I have become comfortably numb.
  
  (solo)
  
  I have become comfortably numb.
  
  O. K.
  Just a little pin prick.
  There'll be no more high
  But you may feel a little sick.
  Can you stand up?
  I do believe its working. Good.
  That'll keep you going through the show
  Come on it's time to go.
  
  There is no pain you are receding
  A distant ship, smoke on the horizon.
  You are only coming through in waves.
  Your lips move but I can't hear what you're saying.
  When I was a child
  I caught a fleeting glimpse
  Out of the corner of my eye
  I turned to look but it was gone
  I cannot put my finger on it now
  The child is grown,
  The dream is gone.
  I have become comfortably numb.

  Such a powerful song.

  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-wzwF3upH-A

  Through the fish-eyed lens of tear stained eyes
  I can barely define the shape of this moment in time
  And far from flying high in clear blue skies
  I'm spiraling down to the hole in the ground where I hide.
  
  If you negotiate the minefield in the drive
  And beat the dogs and cheat the cold electronic eyes
  And if you make it past the shotgun in the hall,
  Dial the combination, open the priesthole
  And if I'm in I'll tell you what's behind the wall.
  
  There's a kid who had a big hallucination
  Making love to girls in magazines.
  He wonders if you're sleeping with your new found faith.
  Could anybody love him
  Or is it just a crazy dream?
  
  And if I show you my dark side
  Will you still hold me tonight?
  And if I open my heart to you
  And show you my weak side
  What would you do?
  Would you sell your story to Rolling Stone?
  Would you take the children away
  And leave me alone?
  And smile in reassurance
  As you whisper down the phone?
  Would you send me packing?
  Or would you take me home?
  
  Thought I oughta bare my naked feelings,
  Thought I oughta tear the curtain down.
  I held the blade in trembling hands
  Prepared to make it but just then the phone rang
  I never had the nerve to make the final cut.

  You did also say love songs wright? One of my favorite Zeppelin songs.

  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S4v-_p5dU34

  It is the springtime of my loving - the second season I am to know
  You are the sunlight in my growing - so little warmth I've felt before.
  It isn't hard to feel me glowing - I watched the fire that grew so low.
  
  It is the summer of my smiles - flee from me Keepers of the Gloom.
  Speak to me only with your eyes. It is to you I give this tune.
  Ain't so hard to recognize - These things are clear to all from
  time to time.
  
  Talk Talk - I've felt the coldness of my winter
  I never thought YOU would ever go. I cursed the gloom that set upon us...
  But I know that I love you so
  
  These are the seasons of emotion and like the winds they rise and fall
  This is the wonder of devotion - I seek the torch we all must hold.
  This is the mystery of the quotient - Upon us all a little rain must fall...It's just a little rain...
