    To me, this song nails the relationship between an exiting Dub & the WTS/god

    Linkin Park - Numb 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

    Dear God

    Artist: XTC

    Dear god, hope you get 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 in the street
    '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

    I won't believe in heaven or 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'll perceive
    That my heart's here upon my sleeve
    If there's one thing I don't believe in

    It's you
    Dear god

    OK, in a happier mood, here's my 2nd choice:

    The Mango Biscuit Song

    By Joel Veitch/Mike Baker

    When I went off to see Ayer's Rock, I thought I'd buy a mango biscuit

    Though I'd talked to several friends who said I really shouldn't risk it.

    They said "biscuit mangoes, yes, but mango biscuits, that's a con!"

    But I dug in my little heels, and I set off to prove them wrong.

    I went into the biscuit shop and I said "mango biscuits, please"

    And the shopkeeper was so happy, that he fell down to his knees.

    He cried out "take all of my biscuits, they're the nicest things to eat!"

    But I declined very politely, saying "one will be a treat."

    I thought to run a biscuit shop, you'd have to be a biscuit purist

    And that such a man could never run a biscuit fraud on tourists.

    Then oh, tragedy of tragedies, my tears come down in streams

    Coz what I thought was mango biscuits, nothing more than custard creams.

    Bon Jovi "It's My Life"

    This ain't a song for the broken-hearted
    No silent prayer for the faith-departed
    I ain't gonna be just a face in the crowd
    You're gonna hear my voice
    When I shout it out loud

    Chorus:
    It's my life
    It's now or never
    I ain't gonna live forever
    I just want to live while I'm alive
    (It's my life)
    My heart is like an open highway
    Like Frankie said
    I did it my way
    I just wanna live while I'm alive
    It's my life

    This is for the ones who stood their ground
    For Tommy and Gina who never backed down
    Tomorrow's getting harder make no mistake
    Luck ain't even lucky
    Got to make your own breaks

    Chorus:
    It's my life
    And it's now or never
    I ain't gonna live forever
    I just want to live while I'm alive
    (It's my life)
    My heart is like an open highway
    Like Frankie said
    I did it my way
    I just want to live while I'm alive
    'Cause it's my life

    Better stand tall when they're calling you out
    Don't bend, don't break, baby, don't back down

    Chorus:
    It's my life
    And it's now or never
    'Cause I ain't gonna live forever
    I just want to live while I'm alive
    (It's my life)
    My heart is like an open highway
    Like Frankie said
    I did it my way
    I just want to live while I'm alive

    JANE SIBERRY - It Can't Rain All The Time

    SPOKEN:
    We walked the narrow path,
    beneath the smoking skies.
    Sometimes you can barely tell the difference
    between darkness and light.
    Do you have faith
    in what we believe?
    The truest test is when we cannot,
    when we cannot see.

    SUNG:
    I hear pounding feet in the,
    in the streets below, and the,
    and the women crying and the,
    and the children know that there,
    that there's something wrong,
    and it's hard to believe that love will prevail.

    Oh it won't rain all the time.
    The sky won't fall forever.
    And though the night seems long,
    your tears won't fall forever.

    Oh, when I'm lonely,
    I lie awake at night
    and I wish you were here.
    I miss you.
    Can you tell me
    is there something more to believe in?
    Or is this all there is?
    In the pounding feet, in the,
    In the streets below, and the,
    And the window breaks and,
    And a woman falls, there's,
    There's something wrong, it's,
    It's so hard to believe that love will prevail.

    Oh it won't rain all the time.
    The sky won't fall forever.
    And though the night seems long,
    your tears won't fall, your tears won't fall, your tears won't fall
    forever.

    Last night I had a dream.
    You came into my room,
    you took me into your arms.
    Whispering and kissing me,
    and telling me to still belive.
    But then the emptiness of a burning sea against which we see
    our darkest of sadness.

    Until I felt safe and warm.
    I fell asleep in your arms.
    When I awoke I cried again for you were gone.
    Oh, can you hear me?
