I must totally be living on another planet because I have never heard of most of these songs Jesse.

You have probably heard more of them than you think. I listen to cities 97 alot. Quite a few are either new songs they have been playing or songs off thier last two samplers. Now I know you have heard the welcome back Kotter theme


What you need to do is throw a couple up from your planet for the rest of us to enjoy. That is what it is here for. Broadening musical horizons..... or something

LOL Everyone knows the Welcome Back Kotter one...and thanks to you, it is stuck in my head this morning!

I don't have the lyrics, but we could go back to the 80's with so many songs. I was partial to the hair bands, but a fav. will always be Meatloaf's "Paridise by the Dashboard Lights".

Welcome back Kotter. Mmmmmm........John Sebastian.

Love Song - Sara Bareilles

Head under water
And they tell me to breathe easy for a while
The breathing gets harder, even I know that
You made room for me but it's too soon to see
If I'm happy in your hands

I'm unusually hard to hold on to
Blank stares at blank pages
No easy way to say this
You mean well, but you make this hard on me
I'm not gonna write you a love song
'cause you asked for it
'cause you need one, you see

I'm not gonna write you a love song
'cause you tell me it's
Make or breaking this
If you're on your way
I'm not gonna write you to stay
If all you have is leaving I'm gonna need a better
Reason to write you a love song today

I learned the hard way
That they all say things you want to hear
And my heavy heart sinks deep down under you and
Your twisted words,
Your help just hurts
You are not what I thought you were
Hello to high and dry
Convinced me to please you
Made me think that I need this too
I'm trying to let you hear me as I am

I'm not gonna write you a love song
'cause you asked for it
'cause you need one, you see
I'm not gonna write you a love song
'cause you tell me it's
Make or breaking this
If you're on your way
I'm not gonna write you to stay
If all you have is leaving I'm gonna need a better
Reason to write you a love song today

Promise me that you'll leave the light on
To help me see with daylight, my guide, gone
'cause I believe there's a way you can love me
Because I say
I won't write you a love song
'cause you asked for it
'cause you need one, you see

I'm not gonna write you a love song
'cause you tell me it's make or breaking this
Is that why you wanted a love song
'cause you asked for it
'cause you need one, you see
I'm not gonna write you a love song
'cause you tell me it's make or breaking this
If you're on your way
I'm not gonna write you to stay
If your heart is nowhere in it
I don't want it for a minute
Babe, I'll walk the seven seas when I believe that
There's a reason to
Write you a love song today

Cheers! I swear you picked the exact same songs I've been listening to for years... and they're still great!! (well, there are some rather new ones in there too..)... I really like Shimmer, by Fuel, too...

Paradise By The Dashboard Light - Meatloaf

Well I remember every little thing as if it happened only yesterday
Parkin' by the lake and there was not another car in sight
And I never had a girl, lookin' any better than you did
And all the kids at school, they were wishin' they were me that night

And now our bodies are oh so close and tight, it never felt so good, it never felt so right
And we're glowin' like the metal on the edge of a knife, glowin' like the metal on the edge of a knife
Come on - hold on tight - well come on, hold on tight!

Though it's cold and lonely in the deep dark ni-ight, I can see paradi-ise by the da-ashboar-oard light

Ain't no doubt about it, we were doubly blessed
'Cause we were barely seventeen and we were barely dressed
Ain't no doubt about it, baby got to go and shout it
Ain't no doubt about it, we were doubly blessed
'Cause we were barely seventeen and we were barely dressed

Baby don't ya hear my heart, you got it drownin' out the radio
I've been a-waitin' so long for you to come along and have some fu-un
Well I gotta let ya know, no you're never gonna regret it
So open up your eyes, I got a big surprise, it'll feel all right
Well I wanna make your motor run

And now our bodies are oh so close and tight, it never felt so good, it never felt so right
And we're glowin' like the metal on the edge of a knife, glowin' like the metal on the edge of a knife
Come on - hold tight - oh come on - well hold on tight!

Though it's cold and lonely in the deep dark ni-ight, I can see paradise by the dashboard li-ight
Though it's cold and lonely in the deep dar-ark night... (in the deep dar-ark night)
Paradise by-y the dashboard light

You got to do what you c


Here you go Robyn Good one

Shimmer - Fuel

She calls me from the cold
Just when I was low, feeling short of stable
And all that she intends
And all she keeps inside, isnt on the label
She says shes ashamed
And can she take me for awhile
And can I be a friend, well forget the past
But maybe Im not able
And I break at the bend

Were here and now, but will we ever be again
cause I have found
All that shimmers in this world is sure to fade
Away again

She dreams a champagne dream
Strawberry surprise, pink linen and white paper
Lavender and cream
Fields of butterflies, reality escapes her
She says that love is for fools who fall behind
And Im somewhere in between
I never really know
A killer from a savior
til I break at the bend

Its too far away for me to hold
Its too far away...

Guess Ill let it go

Good pick Sensual

New Shoes - Paolo Nutini

Woke up cold one Tuesday,
I'm looking tired and feeling quite sick,
I felt like there was something missing in my day to day life,
So I quickly opened the wardrobe,
Pulled out some jeans and a T-Shirt that seemed clean,
Topped it off with a pair of old shoes,
That were ripped around the seams,
And I thought these shoes just don't suit me.


Hey, I put some new shoes on,
And suddenly everything is right,
I said, hey, I put some new shoes on and everybody's smiling,
It's so inviting,
Oh, short on money,
But long on time,
Slowly strolling in the sweet sunshine,
And I'm running late,
And I don't need an excuse,
'cause I'm wearing my brand new shoes.

Woke up late one Thursday,
And I'm seeing stars as I'm rubbing my eyes,
And I felt like there were two days missing,
As I focused on the time,
And I made my way to the kitchen,
But I had to stop from the shock of what I found,
A room full of all off my friends dancing round and round,
And I thought hello new shoes,
Bye bye them blues.



Take me wandering through these streets,
Where bright lights and angels meet,
Stone to stone they take me on,
I'm walking to the break of dawn.

[CHORUS (x2)]

Take me wandering through these streets

Hey, remember that song.. "Jane says" by Jane's Addiction?

I've always liked Jackson Browne's stuff.Great songwritting
and a voice like nobody has.

I've always really liked The Beatles song:Don't Let Me Down
Nobody could scream a song so well and mean it like the late
John Lennon...The Beatles paved so many paths to other players

I like the blues songs alot too.

Thank you Jesse! For that you deserve for to bring you 10 Slurpees for Christmas!!!

Jane Says - Jane's Addiction

Jane says
I'm done with Sergio
He treats me like a ragdoll
She hides
The television
Says I don't owe him nothing,
But if he comes back again
Tell him to wait right here for me
Or just
Try again tomorrow
I'm gonna kick tomorrow
Gonna kick tomorrow

Jane says
Have you seen my wig around?
I feel naked without it
She knows
They all want her to go
But that's O.K. man
She dont like them anyway
Jane says
She's goin away to spain
When she gets my money saved
I'm gonna start tomorrow
I'm gonna kick tomorrow
Gonna kick tomorrow

She gets mad
Starts to cry
She takes a swing but
She cant hit
She don't mean no harm
She just don't know
What else to do about it

Jane goes
To the store at 8:00
She walk up on St. Andrews
She waits
And gets her dinner there
She pulls her dinner
From her pocket
Jane says
I've never been in love
I don't know what it is
Only knows if someone wants her
I want them if they want me
I only know they want me

She gets mad
And she starts to cry
She takes a swing man
She cant hit!
She don't mean no harm
She just dont know
What else to do about it

Jane says
Jane says

Another good one

Hey Jude - The Beatles

Hey jude, dont make it bad.
Take a sad song and make it better.
Remember to let her into your heart,
Then you can start to make it better.

Hey jude, dont be afraid.
You were made to go out and get her.
The minute you let her under your skin,
Then you begin to make it better.

And anytime you feel the pain, hey jude, refrain,
Dont carry the world upon your shoulders.
For well you know that its a fool who plays it cool
By making his world a little colder.

Hey jude, dont let me down.
You have found her, now go and get her.
Remember to let her into your heart,
Then you can start to make it better.

So let it out and let it in, hey jude, begin,
Youre waiting for someone to perform with.
And dont you know that its just you, hey jude, youll do,
The movement you need is on your shoulder.

Hey jude, dont make it bad.
Take a sad song and make it better.
Remember to let her under your skin,
Then youll begin to make it
Better better better better better better, oh.

Na na na na na ,na na na, hey jude...


I know it's not Lennon but it is probably my favorite Beatles song. Hope you have a very Merry Christmas Mick

WIND OF CHANGE - The Scorpions


I follow the Moskva down to Gorky Park
Listening to the wind of change
An August summer night soldiers passing by
Listening to the wind of change

The world is closing in and did you ever think
That we could be so close like brothers
The future's in the air I can feel it everywhere
Blowing with the wind of change

Take me to the magic of the moment on a glory night
Where the children of tomorrow dream away
In the wind of change

Walking down the street distant memories
Are buried in the past forever
I follow the Moskva down to Gorky Park
Listening to the wind of change

Take me to the magic of the moment on a glory night
Where the children of tomorrow share their dreams (share their
dreams)
With you and me (ith you and me)
Take me to the magic of the moment on a glory night
Where the children of tomorrow dream away
In the wind of change (wind of change)

The wind of change blows straight into the face of time
Like a storm wind that will ring the freedom bell
For peace of mind let your balalaika sing
What my guitar wants to say

Take me (take me) to the magic of the moment
On a glory night (glory night)
Where the children of tomorrow share their dreams (share their
dreams)
With you and me (with you and me)
Take me to the magic of the moment on a glory night (glory night)
Where the children of tomorrow dream away (dream away)
In the wind of change (wind of change)


Thanks Robyn

Homeworld -Yes

Nothing can take us far enough
Emotion... far enough together
As the light shines so bright
Bright enough to let us in

Nothing can bridge our souls
Devotion... fast enough together
As the power proves you right
Right enough to let you begin

So many displaced among the future dreamers
Realised their doubles
Took a new step
A question of origin

Only in the recent past
Seeking for to realise
Skyward shone
Like beacons
A question of origin

Ten thousand millions free
To the westward light
The dreamers represent
This arc of peace

As the poets entranced
The anchor redeemed
Secrets of science
The history of the future
Was surely made

Just what keeps us so alive
Just what makes us realise
Our home
Is our world, our life
Home is our world

Nothing can take us far enough
Emotion... far enough together
As the light shines so bright
Bright enough to let us in

Nothing can bridge our souls
Devotion... fast enough together
As the power proves you right
Right enough to let you begin

Speak so fast to the prophets
Of the living
Looking for the signs
Spanning out the centuries
Search for truth

Ancient ones... they watch
And listen
Carry our wishes
Took upon themselves to guide us
Through the endless skies

Just what keeps us so alive
Just what makes us realise
Our home
Is our world, our life
Our hope is our world, our life

I have seen the passion
Thats in the hope that everyone
Will find their way into
The secret of
The home of your heart

Living within the vision
Within the power, beyond belief
We see that hate destroys the soul
Of anyone who tries to teach it

I have seen the dream
Thats in your heart
Thats in your eyes
To bring you closer to the one

Its what keeps us so alive
Its what makes us realise
Our home is our world, our life
Just what keeps us so alive
Just what makes us realise
Our home
Is our world, our life
Home is our world, our life

Send, ascending to the secrets
All is pure and clear to resolve
Nothing can change us now
Send, ascending to the future
Nothing can ever change us now
We follow the sun
We follow the sun
We follow the sun

Truth is a simple place
Here for us all to see
Reach as it comes to you
As it comes to me
As I will always need you inside my heart

Peace is a word we teach
A place for us all to reach
Sing as it sings to you
As it sings to me
As I will always need you inside my heart


They play this song during the credits of the game "Homeworld"

OOooh here's a couple more good ones, I just thought of... (well, at least I think so...) "Forever" by Papa Roach, and "Black Hole Sun" by Soundgarden....

My Curse - Killswitch Engage

I watched you walk away. Helpless, with nothing else to say. I strain my eyes hoping to see you again.

This is my curse - the longing. This is my curse - time. This is my curse - the yearning. This is my curse.

There is love burning to find you. Will you wait for me? Will you be there? Your silence haunts me. But still I hunger for you.

This is my curse - the longing. This is my curse - time. This is my curse - the needing. This is my curse.

There is love burning to find you. Will you wait for me? And still I want. And still I ache. But still I want. To see you again. Dying inside these walls. And I see your face in these tears. in these tears. And I see your face. There is love.

Spoonman - Soundgarden

Feel the rhythm with your hands
Steal the rhythm while you can, spoonman
Speak the rhythm on your own
Speak the rhythm all alone, spoonman
Spoonman, come together with your hands
Save me, Im together with your plan
Save me

All my friends are indians
All my friends are brown and red, spoonman
All my friends are skeletons
They beat the rhythm with their bones,
Spoonman

Spoonman, come together with your hands
Save me, Im together with your plan
Save me

Feel the rhythm with your hands
Steal the rhythm while you can, spoonman

It's a man's world - James Brown

This is a man's world, this is a man's world
But it wouldn't be nothing, nothing without a woman or a girl

You see, man made the cars to take us over the road
Man made the trains to carry heavy loads
Man made electric light to take us out of the dark
Man made the boat for the water, like Noah made the ark

This is a man's, a man's, a man's world
But it wouldn't be nothing, nothing without a woman or a girl

Man thinks about a little baby girls and a baby boys
Man makes then happy 'cause man makes them toys
And after man has made everything, everything he can
You know that man makes money to buy from other man

This is a man's world
But it wouldn't be nothing, nothing without a woman or a girl

He's lost in the wilderness
He's lost in bitterness
