atlantic Posted July 25, 2008 Posted July 25, 2008 The Pretender - Jackson Browne I'm going to rent myself a house In the shade of the freeway I'm going to pack my lunch in the morning And go to work each day And when the evening rolls around I'll go on home and lay my body down And when the morning light comes streaming in I'll get up and do it again Amen Say it again Amen I want to know what became of the changes We waited for love to bring Were they only the fitful dreams Of some greater awakening I've been aware of the time going by They say in the end it's the wink of an eye And when the morning light comes streaming in You'll get up and do it again Amen Caught between the longing for love And the struggle for the legal tender Where the sirens sing and the church bells ring And the junk man pounds his fender Where the veterans dream of the fight Fast asleep at the traffic light And the children solemnly wait For the ice cream vendor Out into the cool of the evening Strolls the Pretender He knows that all his hopes and dreams Begin and end there Ah the laughter of the lovers As they run through the night Leaving nothing for the others But to choose off and fight And tear at the world with all their might While the ships bearing their dreams Sail out of sight I'm going to find myself a girl Who can show me what laughter means And we'll fill in the missing colors In each other's paint-by-number dreams And then we'll put our dark glasses on And we'll make love until our strength is gone And when the morning light comes streaming in We'll get up and do it again Get it up again I'm going to be a happy idiot And struggle for the legal tender Where the ads take aim and lay their claim To the heart and the soul of the spender And believe in whatever may lie In those things that money can buy Though true love could have been a contender Are you there? Say a prayer for the Pretender Who started out so young and strong Only to surrender Quote

emkay64 Posted July 29, 2008 Posted July 29, 2008 The Stalker Song Imagine me and you, I do I think about you day and night It's only right to think about the man I stalk Each day and night, So happy together. I dated you, for just a week You dumped me and I cried real hard And still can't sleep. So now I'll have to force you to come back to me, So happy together. I can't see me stalking nobody but you for all your life When you're with me baby the skies will be blue For all my life. I call you up at 2 am I wake you and hang up the phone And do it again. That's what you get for goin' out with other women, So happy together. I can't see me stalking nobody but you for all your life When you're with me baby the skies will be blue For all my life. I see you, you don't see me I'm hidden with my telephoto lense up in the tree You're walking and you look around, suspiciously, So happy together. "Hey...sugar...I like your eyebrows....no no that's kinda lame. I got it, I got it.Hey baby, it's me again....surprise!That's a good one, I like that, surprise, haha." I've got your cat, don't be alarmed, As long as you come talk to me, He won't be harmed We'll go and get a bite to eat I'll come unarmed So happy together...forever and ever...so happy together.

And so become yourself because the past is just a good bye. Teach your children well, their father's hell did slowly go by, and feed them on your dreams, the one they picks, the one you'll know by. Don't you ever ask them why, if they told you, you will cry, so just look at them and sigh and know they love you. And you, of the tender years can't know the fears that your elders grew by, and so please help them with your youth, they seek the truth before they can die. Teach your parents well, their children's hell will slowly go by, and feed them on your dreams, the one they picks, the one you'll know by. Don't you ever ask them why, if they told you, you will cry, so just look at them and sigh and know they love you.

A new day, a new way, I knew I should see it along. Go your way, I'll go mine and carry on. The sky is clearing and the night has gone out. The sun, he come, the world is all full of light. Rejoice, rejoice, we have no choice but to carry on. The fortunes of fables are able to sing the song. Now witness the quickness with which we get along. To sing the blues you've got to live the tunes and carry on. Carry on, love is coming, love is coming to us all. Where are you going now my love? Where will you be tomorrow? Will you bring me happiness? Will you bring me sorrow? Oh, the questions of a thousand dreams, what you do and what you see, lover, can you talk to me? Girl, when I was on my own, chasing you down, what was it made you run, trying your best just to get around? The questions of a thousand dreams, what you do and what you see, lover, can you talk to me?
