    Opaque!

    Sometimes I see a shaded screen

    And you appear behind

    Playing in the darkness

    Toying with my mind.

    Reminding me, the memoirs, of the fears I fought at night.

    Opaque! You knew how to block the passages of light.

    Fell into your parlour

    And landed on my knees

    You took those whom I loved the most

    And made them sting like bees.

    A statistic just to play with

    You counted money while I counted time

    Opaque! I took the bait and your hook

    Tore out my mind.

    The sleepless hours the longest

    The fight for sanity

    Your web of lies locked around my mind secured with doomsday keys.

    Caught in your tower of darkness, snared by your claims of liberty

    Opaque! I was blinded by your carnal society.

    You thought that I was talking

    So you tried to snatch my breath

    Stood before 3 mortals and they sentenced me to death.

    Questioned in your dungeons

    Finding light considered crime!

    Opaque! You’ll reap your wages but no longer by my time.

    I will no longer spread the nightmare that you dressed up as a dream.

    I am no longer just your echo, or a wheel in your machine.

    No longer can you bind me, to your locks I’ve found the key

    Opaque! The truth has set me free from your transient destiny!

    "Dear God" by XTC (and it's also a great tune)

    Dear God,
    hope you got the letter, and...
    I pray you can make it better down here.
    I don't mean a big reduction in the price of beer
    but all the people that you made in your image, see
    them starving on their feet 'cause they don't get
    enough to eat from God, I can't believe in you

    Dear God, sorry to disturb you, but... I feel that I should be heard
    loud and clear. We all need a big reduction in amount of tears
    and all the people that you made in your image, see them fighting
    in the street 'cause they can't make opinions meet about God,
    I can't believe in you

    Did you make disease, and the diamond blue? Did you make
    mankind after we made you? And the devil too!

    Dear God, don't know if you noticed, but... your name is on
    a lot of quotes in this book, and us crazy humans wrote it, you
    should take a look, and all the people that you made in your
    image still believing that junk is true. Well I know it ain't, and
    so do you, dear God, I can't believe in I don't believe in

    I won't believe in heaven and hell. No saints, no sinners, no
    devil as well. No pearly gates, no thorny crown. You're always
    letting us humans down. The wars you bring, the babes you
    drown. Those lost at sea and never found, and it's the same the
    whole world 'round. The hurt I see helps to compound that
    Father, Son and Holy Ghost is just somebody's unholy hoax,
    and if you're up there you'd perceive that my heart's here upon
    my sleeve. If there's one thing I don't believe in

    it's you... Dear God.

    I like Queen's lyrics:

    Another one bites the dust
    Another one bites the dust
    And another one gone, and another one gone
    Another one bites the dust
    Hey I'm gonna get you too
    Another one bites the dust

    YA!!!

    Thats seems to be the way they are losing ones lately from the bOrg.

    WHOAH (Midnight Oil)

    The Lord is my temple
    God is by my side
    You pay rates on that temple
    Build materials at the side
    He gives reasons
    To get through the day
    He doesn't have rinse action
    He just says
    Whoah, oh
    Don't wanna see you back here again
    Whoah, oh
    Whoah, oh
    Don't wanna see you back here again
    Whoah, oh

    Girls are not smiling
    The stars have gone out
    The man with the landslide
    Got his head in the ground
    Like an unopened letter
    Left under the door
    He says: "I am the answer you're looking for"
    Whoah, oh
    Don't wanna see you back here again
    Whoah, oh
    Oh no
    Whoah, oh
    Don't wanna see you back here again
    Whoah, oh

    Whoah, oh
    Whoah, oh
    Whoah, oh
    Don't wanna see you back here again
    Whoah, oh
    Whoah, oh

    Above we dream in Andropovosphere
    Who maintains the drunken machinery
    Below we dream of a time
    When those men come from West Point

    Whoah, oh
    Don't wanna see you back here again
    Whoah, oh
    Whoah, oh
    Don't wanna see you back here again
    Whoah, oh

    Whoah, oh
    Don't wanna see you back here again
    Whoah, oh
    Yeah
    Whoah, oh
    Don't wanna see you back here again
    No, I don't wanna see you again.

    I'm Free - The Rolling Stones

    I'm free to do what I want any old time
    I'm free to do what I want any old time
    So love me, hold me, love me, hold me
    I'm free any old time to get what I want

    I'm free to sing my song though
    it gets out of time
    I'm free to sing my song though
    it gets out of time
    So love me, hold me, love me, hold me
    And I'm free any old time to get what I want

    Love me, hold me, love me, hold me
    But I'm free any old time to get what I want

    I'm free to choose what I please any old time
    I'm free to choose what I please any old time
    So hold me, love me, love me, hold me
    I'm free any old time to get what I want,
    yes I am

    V.A.S.T - Free

    It's time to laugh, it's time to cry
    It's time to be what you need to be
    It won't be long 'till they are gone
    And we can be what we want to be
    I'm gonna run from everything
    Everything that holds me down
    Nothing to win, nothing to lose

    You can't tell me what to do anymore
    You can't tell me what to do anymore
    Now I'm free, now I'm free, now I'm free

    I'm gonna run, I'm gonna win
    I'm gonna do what I need to do
    'cause it's time to be what I need to be
    It's time to be what I need to be

    You can't tell me what to do anymore
    You can't tell me what to do anymore
    Now I'm free, now I'm free, now I'm free

    I want to hold air in my hand
    Own the one thing you can't buy
    Nothing to win, nothing to lose
    I'm gonna run from everything
    Everything that holds me down
    Nothing to win, nothing to lose
    It's time to be what I need to be

    You can't tell me what to do anymore
    You can't tell me what to do anymore
    Now I'm free, now I'm free, now I'm free

    Something To Believe In
    Poison
     
    Will I see him on the TV
    Preachin' 'bout the promised land
    He tells me to believe in Jesus
    And steals the money from my hand
    Some say he was a good man
    But Lord I think he sinned, yeah
    Twenty-two years of mental tears
    Cries a suicidal Vietnam vet
    Who fought a losing war on a foreign shore
    To find his country didn't want him back
    Their bullets took his best friend in Saigon
    Our lawyers took his wife and kids, 
    no regrets
    In a time I don't remember
    In a war he can't forget
    He cried "Forgive me for 
    what I've done there
    Cause I never meant the things I did"
     
    Chorus:
    And give me something to believe in
    If there's a Lord above
    And give me something to believe in
    Oh, Lord arise
    My best friend died a lonely man
    In some Palm Springs hotel room
    I got the call last Christmas Eve
    And they told me the news
    I tried all night not to break down and cry
    As the tears rolled down my face
    I felt so cold and empty
    Like a lost soul out of place
    And the mirror, mirror on the wall
    Sees my smile it fades again
     
    Chorus
    Sometimes I wish to God 
    I didn't know now
    The things I didn't know then
    Road you gotta take me home
     
    Solo
     
    I drive by the homeless sleeping on
    a cold dark street
    Like bodies in an open grave
    Underneath the broken old neon sign
    That used to read 
    Jesus Saves
    A mile away live the rich folks
    And I see how they're living it up
    While the poor they eat from hand to mouth
    The rich is drinkin' from a golden cup
    And it just makes me wonder
    Why so many lose, so few win
     
    Chorus
    You take the high road
    And I'll take the low road
    Sometimes I wish to God 
    I didn't know now
    The things I didn't know then
    And give me something to believe in

    Blue days by Racoon
    Broken down and shut-eyed, dangerous down the road. People's tricky business turns to overload. Don't remember clearly blank behind the eye. I caught up with the memory. I never said goodbye. I remember faces behind that wall of yours. I remember fistfights until one of us dropped. Don't recall all the details. Some are better off. I wish that it was possible to review the best of. Day by day it hits in. Thanks for all you did in the blue days. Bit by bit it hits in. Thanks for all you did in the blue days. I got to try al little more, because I'm an asshole but I'm learning. I got to try al little more, because I'm an asshole but I'm learning, yeah I’m learning This is a picture of us all standing in the hallway. Looking quite ridiculous, a little overdressed. You never understood I had to take the call. Because without dreams there's nothing left at all. Day by day it hits in. Thanks for all you did in the blue days. Bit by bit it hits in. Thanks for all you did in the blue days. You got to try al little more, because you're an asshole but you're learning. You got to try al little more, you're still an asshole but you're learning. , yes you’re learning Broken down and shut-eyed, dangerous down the road. You say I took a sideway. You say I broke the oath. I don't remember clearly. It's blank behind the eye. I caught up with the memory. I never said goodbye. 
    Especially as I indeed never said goodbye, well not yet anyway, I guess I'll have to some day, especially say goodbye to all the guilt. 
    Eppie
    PS: Also It's my party from Cindy Lauper
