    Left Outside Alone by Anatacia.

    Was relaesed close to the time I was df'ed, I used to listed to it over and over.

    "Left Outside Alone"[INTRO:]
    All my life I?ve been waiting
    For you to bring a fairy tale my way
    Been living in a fantasy without meaning
    It?s not okay I don?t feel safe

    I don't feel safe..
    Ohhh..

    [V1]
    Left broken empty in despair
    Wanna breath can?t find air
    Thought you were sent from up above
    But you and me never had love So much more I have to say
    Help me find a way

    [CHORUS]
    And I wonder if you know
    How it really feels
    To be left outside alone When it?s cold out here
    Well maybe you should know
    Just how it feels
    To be left outside alone
    To be left outside alone

    I tell ya..
    All my life I?ve been waiting
    For you to bring a fairytale my way
    Been living in a fantasy without meaning
    It?s not okay I don?t feel safe
    I need to pray

    Why do you play me like a game?
    Always someone else to blame
    Careless, helpless little man
    Someday you might understand
    There?s not much more to say
    But I hope you find a way
    [CHORUS 2]
    Still I wonder if you know
    How it really feels
    To be left outside alone
    When it?s cold out here
    Well maybe you should know
    Just how it feels
    To be left outside alone
    To be left outside alone

    I tell ya..
    All my life I?ve been waiting
    For you to bring a fairytale my way
    Been living in a fantasy without meaning
    It?s not okay I don?t feel safe
    I need to pray

    Ohhh. Pray...
    Ohh.. Heavenly father..
    Save me.. Ohhhh.. Whoaooooaoooooo

    [CHORUS 3]
    And I wonder if you know
    How it really feels
    To be left outside alone
    When it?s cold out here
    Well maybe you should know
    Just how it feels
    To be left outside alone
    To be left outside alone

    [OUTRO]
    All my life I?ve been waiting
    For you to bring a fairytale my way
    Been living in a fantasy without meaning
    It?s not okay I don?t feel safe
    I need to pray...

    Closer to Fine by the Indigo Girls

    "there's more than one answer to these questions
    pointing me in a crooked line
    and the less I seek my source for some definitive
    the closer I am to fine
    the closer I am to fine"

    Jeff Buckley's 'Eternal Life';

    [Cmaj7, Gmaj7, Fmaj7, A(Asus2, A7sus4)]

    Eternal Life is now on my trail
    Got my red glitter coffin, man, just need one last nail
    While all these ugly gentlemen play out their foolish games
    There's a flaming red horizon that screams our names

    [Gmaj7]
    And as your fantasies are broken in two,
    [Em7]
    Did you really think this bloody road would pave the way for you? [D/F#] [Asus2]
    You better turn around and blow your kiss hello to life eternal, angel

    [Cmaj7, Gmaj7, Fmaj7, A(Asus2, A7sus4)]

    Racist everyman, what have you done?
    Man, you've made a killer of your unborn son...
    Crown my fear your king at the point of a gun
    All I want to do is love everyone...

    [Gmaj7]
    And as your fantasies are broken in two
    [Em7]
    Did you really think this bloody road would pave the way for you?
    [D/F#] [Asus2]
    You better turn around and blow your kiss hello to life eternal....

    [C#m7dim5] [Cmaj7] [F#7sus4] [Fmaj7]
    There's no time for hatred, only questions

    [B5]
    What is love?
    [A5]
    Where is happiness? [G5]
    What is life? [F5]
    Where is peace?

    [E5,E/F5, E5,E/F5]

    When will I find the strength to bring me release?

    [Cmaj7, Gmaj7, Fmaj7, A(Asus2, A7sus4)]
    Tell me where is the love in what your prophet has said?
    Man, it sounds to me just like a prison for the walking dead
    And I've got a message for you and your twisted hell
    You better turn around and blow your kiss goodbye to life eternal angel...

    The version on 'Grace' is lovely, but the full-on industrial-thrash version (bootlegs and also 'Mystery White Boy' I think...) is, in my opinion, a great way to start an Apostofest. With a tweak of the second verse lyrics it's nearly perfect.

    'Losing My Religion', but that's obvious.

    'All Along the Watchtower' also suits subtle re-wording, like this I did about 5 years ago;

    There must be someway out of here
    Said the joker to the thief
    There's too much confusion
    I can't get no relief
    Elders they just steal your mind
    The organisation spoil the earth
    None of them along the line
    Know what freedom is worth

    No reason to get excited
    The thief he kindly spoke
    There are many here among us
    Who realise it is just a joke
    Yeah you and I, we've been through that
    And this is not our fate
    So let us not talk falsely now
    For the hour is getting late

    All along the Watchtower
    Told a pack of lies
    Live's were lost for want of blood
    Outside they said was fearful
    But it's just another lie
    Ever since the day I left
    I've actually felt alive...

    I almost forgot

    REM - Leaving New York the sort of track that causes me to look back and ponder over things once in a while...

    THere are a couple of Alanis Morissette songs which apply very well:

    "Forgiven"You know how us Catholic (JW) girls can be
    We make up for so much time a little too late
    I never forgot it, confusing as it was
    No fun with no guilt feelings
    The sinners, the saviors, the loverless priests
    I'll see you next Sunday

    We all had our reasons to be there
    We all had a thing or two to learn
    We all needed something to cling to
    So we did

    I sang Alleluia in the choir
    I confessed my darkest deeds to an envious man
    My brothers they never went blind for what they did
    But I may as well have
    In the name of the Father, the Skeptic and the Son
    I had one more stupid question

    We all had our reasons to be there
    We all had a thing or two to learn
    We all needed something to cling to
    So we did

    What I learned I rejected but I believe again
    I will suffer the consequence of this inquisition
    If I jump in this fountain, will I be forgiven
    We all had our reasons to be there
    We all had a thing or two to learn
    We all needed something to cling to
    So we did

    We all had delusions in our head
    We all had our minds made up for us
    We had to believe in something
    So we did

    "Perfect"Sometimes is never quite enough
    If you're flawless, then you'll win my love
    Don't forget to win first place
    Don't forget to keep that smile on your face

    Be a good boy
    Try a little harder
    You've got to measure up
    And make me prouder

    How long before you screw it up
    How many times do I have to tell you to hurry up
    With everything I do for you
    The least you can do is keep quiet

    Be a good girl
    You've gotta try a little harder
    That simply wasn't good enough
    To make us proud

    I'll live through you
    I'll make you what I never was
    If you're the best, then maybe so am I
    Compared to him compared to her
    I'm doing this for your own damn good
    You'll make up for what I blew
    What's the problem...why are you crying

    Be a good boy
    Push a little farther now
    That wasn't fast enough
    To make us happy
    We'll love you just the way you are
    If you're perfect

    AND I like to listen to Alanis's song Utopia, to compare with the JW so called "paradise" - her utopia sounds a lot better to me!

    Utopiawe'd gather around all in a room fasten our belts engage in dialogue
    we'd all slow down rest without guilt not lie without fear disagree sans judgement

    we would stay and respond and expand and include and allow and forgive and
    enjoy and evolve and discern and inquire and accept and admit and divulge and
    open and reach out and speak up

    This is utopia this is my utopia
    This is my ideal my end in sight
    Utopia this is my utopia
    This is my nirvana
    My ultimate

    we'd open our arms we'd all jump in we'd all coast down into safety nets

    we would share and listen and support and welcome be propelled by passion not
    invest in outcomes we would breathe and be charmed and amused by difference
    be gentle and make room for every emotion

    we'd provide forums we'd all speak out we'd all be heard we'd all feel seen

    we'd rise post-obstacle more defined more grateful we would heal be humbled
    and be unstoppable we'd hold close and let go and know when to do which we'd
    release and disarm and stand up and feel safe

    this is utopia this is my utopia
    this is my ideal my end in sight
    utopia this is my utopia
    this is my nirvana
    my ultimate

    Queen - Who wants to live forever?

    There?s no time for us
    There?s no place for us
    What is this thing that builds our dreams yet slips away
    From us

    Who wants to live forever
    Who wants to live forever....?

    There?s no chance for us
    It?s all decided for us
    This world has only one sweet moment set aside for us

    Who wants to live forever
    Who wants to live forever?

    Who dares to love forever?
    When love must die

    But touch my tears with your lips
    Touch my world with your fingertips
    And we can have forever
    And we can love forever
    Forever is our today
    Who wants to live forever
    Who wants to live forever?
    Forever is our today

    Who waits forever anyway?
