I know we're just like old friends We just can't pretend That lovers make amends We are reasons so unreal We can't help but feel that something has been lost But please you know you're just like me Next time I promise we'll be Perfect Perfect Perfect strangers down the line Lovers out of time Memories unwind So far I still know who you are But now I wonder who I was... Angel, you know it's not the end We'll always be good friends The letters have been sent on So please, you always were so free You'll see, I promise we'll be Perfect Perfect strangers when we meet Strangers on the street Lovers while we sleep Perfect You know this has to be We always were so free We promised that we'd be Perfect

When I'm nervous I have this thing, yeah, I talk too muchSometimes I just can't shut the hell up It's like I need to tell someone, anyone who'll listen And that's where I seem to fuck up Yeah, I forget about the consequences For a minute there I lose my senses And in the heat of the moment my mouth starts going The words start flowing, oh But I never meant to hurt you I know it's time that I learnt to Treat the people I love like I wanna be loved This is a lesson learnt I hate that I let you down And I feel so bad about it I guess karma comes back around 'Cause now I'm the one that's hurting, yeah And I hate that I made you think That the trust we have is broken Don't tell me you can't forgive me 'Cause nobody's perfect No, no, no, no, no, no, no, nobody's perfect, no If I could turn back the hands of time I swear I never would have crossed that line I should have kept it between us But, no, I went and told the whole world how I'm feeling, oh So I sit and I realize With these tears falling from my eyes I gotta change if I wanna keep you forever I promise that I'm gonna try But I never meant to hurt you I know it's time that I learnt to Treat the people I love like I wanna be loved This is a lesson learnt I hate that I let you down And I feel so bad about it I guess karma comes back around 'Cause now I'm the one that's hurting, yeah And I hate that I made you think That the trust we have is broken So don't tell me you can't forgive me 'Cause nobody's perfect No, no, no, no, no, no, no, nobody's perfect I'm not a saint, no, not at all, but what I did, it wasn't cool But I swear that I'll never do that again to you, oh I'm not a saint, no, not at all, but what I did, it wasn't cool But I swear that I'll never do that again to you, yeah I hate that I let you down And I feel so bad about it I guess karma comes back around 'Cause now I'm the one that's hurting, yeah And I hate that I made you think That the trust we have is broken So don't tell me you can't forgive me 'Cause nobody's perfect, no I hate that I let you down And I feel so bad about it I guess karma comes back around 'Cause now I'm the one that's hurting, yeah And I hate that I made you think That the trust we have is broken Don't tell me you can't forgive me 'Cause nobody's perfect, yeah, yeah, whoa Don't tell me, don't tell Don't tell me you can't forgive me No, no, no, no 'Cause nobody's perfect, no

To Tuesday! Cold and misty morning, I heard a warning borne in the air About an age of power where no one had an hour to spare, Where the seeds have withered, silent children shivered, in the cold Now their faces captured in the lenses of the jackals for gold. I'll be there I'll be there I will be there. Suffering in silence, they've all been betrayed. They hurt them and they beat them, in a terrible way. Praying for survival at the end of the day. There is no compassion for those who stay. I'll be there I'll be there I will be there There must be someone who can set them free: To take their sorrow from this odyssey To help the helpless and the refugee To protect what's left of humanity. Can't you see Can't you see Can't you see I'll be there I'll be there I will be there; To heal their sorrow To beg and borrow Fight tomorrow. --- Step inside! Hello!

Fear that rattles in men's ears And rears its hideous head Dread... Death... in the wind... Man of steel pray and kneel With fever's blazing torch Thrust in the face of the night; Draws a blade of compassion Kissed by countless Kings Whose jewelled trumpet words blind his sight. Walls that no man thought would fall The altars of the just Crushed... Dust... in the wind... No man yields who flies in my ship Danger! Let the bridge computer speak Stranger! Load your program. I am yourself. No computer stands in my way Only blood can cancel my pain Guardians of a new clear dawn Let the maps of war be drawn. Rejoice! Glory is ours! Our young men have not died in vain, Their graves need no flowers The tapes have recorded their names. I am all there is Negative! Primitive! Limited! I let you live! But I gave you life What else could you do? To do what was right I'm perfect! Are you?

That one was spot on! Come down off your throne and leave your body alone. Somebody must change. You are the reason I've been waiting so long. Somebody holds the key. [Chorus:] But I'm near the end and I just ain't got the time And I'm wasted and I can't find my way home. Come down on your own and leave your body alone. Somebody must change. You are the reason I've been waiting all these years. Somebody holds the key. [Chorus] But I can't find my way home. But I can't find my way home. But I can't find my way home. But I can't find my way home. Still I can't find my way home, And I ain't done nothing wrong, But I can't find my way home. Have a great evening! One down 4 to go...

I had nada, bent down to tie my shoe at a fork in the trail and ended up heading in the opposite direction as Matt. We were separated for 1.5 hrs...Definitely need Velcro and some walkie talkies... Oh well, I'm the type of guy who will never settle down Where pretty girls are well, you know that I'm around I kiss 'em and I love 'em 'cause to me they're all the same I hug 'em and I squeeze 'em they don't even know my name They call me the wanderer Yeah, the wanderer I roam around, around, around Oh well, there's Flo on my left and there's Mary on my right And Janie is the girl with that I'll be with tonight And when she asks me, which one I love the best? I tear open my shirt I got Rosie on my chest 'Cause I'm the wanderer Yeah, the wanderer I roam around, around, around Oh well, I roam from town to town I go through life without a care And I'm as happy as a clown I with my two fists of iron and I'm going nowhere I'm the type of guy that likes to roam around I'm never in one place, I roam from town to town And when I find myself fallin' for some girl I hop right into that car of mine and ride around the world Yeah I'm the wanderer Yeah, the wanderer I roam around, around, around Oh yeah, I'm the type of guy that likes to roam around I'm never in one place, I roam from town to town And when I find myself a-fallin' for some girl I hop right into that car of mine and drive around the world Yeah, 'cause I'm a wanderer Yeah, a wanderer I roam around, around, around 'Cause I'm a wanderer Yeah, a wanderer I roam around, around, around 'Cause I'm a wanderer Yeah, a wanderer hahahaha... I can laugh about it now!

If you don't know, ask the better half.... ;-) Glad you are ok....next time I will send you a homing pigeon..... Reluctantly crouched at the starting line, Engines pumping and thumping in time. The green light flashes, the flags go up. Churning and burning, they yearn for the cup. They deftly maneuver and muscle for rank, Fuel burning fast on an empty tank. Reckless and wild, they pour through the turns. Their prowess is potent and secretly stearn. As they speed through the finish, the flags go down. The fans get up and they get out of town. The arena is empty except for one man, Still driving and striving as fast as he can. The sun has gone down and the moon has come up, And long ago somebody left with the cup. But he's driving and striving and hugging the turns. And thinking of someone for whom he still burns. He's going the distance. He's going for speed. She's all alone In her time of need. Because he's racing and pacing and plotting the course, He's fighting and biting and riding on his horse, He's going the distance. No trophy, no flowers, no flashbulbs, no wine, He's haunted by something he cannot define. Bowel-shaking earthquakes of doubt and remorse, Assail him, impale him with monster-truck force. In his mind, he's still driving, still making the grade. She's hoping in time that her memories will fade. Cause he's racing and pacing and plotting the course, He's fighting and biting and riding on his horse. The sun has gone down and the moon has come up, And long ago somebody left with the cup. But he's striving and driving and hugging the turns. And thinking of someone for whom he still burns. Cause he's going the distance. He's going for speed. She's all alone In her time of need. Because he's racing and pacing and plotting the course, He's fighting and biting and riding on his horse. He's racing and pacing and plotting the course, He's fighting and biting and riding on his horse. He's going the distance. He's going for speed. He's going the distance.

When you were languishing in rooms I built to file you in And when the wind set down in funnel form and pulled you in I don't need to walk around in circles Walk around in circles, walk around in circles Walk around in Don't need to walk around in circles Walk around in circles, walk around in circles Walk around in And when the ghostly dust of violence traces everything And when the gas runs out, just wreck it, you insured the thing I don't need to walk around in circles Walk around in circles, walk around in circles Walk around in Don't need to walk around in circles Walk around in circles, walk around in circles Walk around in Doom da doom da doom What I'm doing, I'm doing Doom da doom da doom What I'm doing, I'm doing Doom da doom da doom What I'm doing, I'm doing Doom da doom da doom What I'm doing, I'm doing But I can't sigh, now that you made the move It has gone and gone to dogs, lay down on the floor For the right price I can get everything Slip into the car, go driving to the farthest star I don't need to walk around in circles Walk-a, in circles, walk around in circles Walk around in a Don't need to walk around in circles Walk around in circles, walk around in circles Walk around in, walk around in

Miraculous you call it babeYou ain't seen nothing yet They've got Pepsi in the Andes Mcdonalds in Tibet Yosemite's been turned into A golf course for the Japs The Dead Sea is alive with rap Between the Tigris and Euphrates There's a leisure centre now They've got all kinds of sports They've got Bermuda shorts The had sex in Pennsylvania A Brazilian grew a tree A doctor in Manhattan Saved a dying man for free It's a miracle Another miracle By the grace of God Almighty And pressures of marketplace The human race has civilized itself It's a miracle We've got a warehouse of butter We've got oceans of wine We've got famine when we need it Got a designer crime We've got Mercedes We've got Porsche Ferrari and Rolls Royce We've got a choice She said meet me In the Garden of Gethsemane my dear The Lord said Peter I can see Your house from here An honest man Finally reaped what he had sown And farmer in Ohio has just repaid a loan It's a miracle Another miracle By the grace of God Almighty And pressures of marketplace The human race has civilized itself It's a miracle We cower in our shelters With our hands over our ears Lloyd-Webber's awful stuff Runs for years and years and years An earthquake hits the theatre But the operetta lingers Then the piano lids comes down And break his fucking fingers It's a miracle

Oh man, it was an interesting hike on Saturday...lets just say we are lucky that search and rescue wasn't involved. Matt and I are safe and in one piece, and that is the Monday morning miracle! If you see something that looks like a star And it's shooting up out of the ground And your head is spinning from a loud guitar And you just can't escape from the sound Don't worry too much, it'll happen to you We were children once, playing with toys And the thing that you're hearing is only the sound of The low spark of high-heeled boys The percentage you're paying is too high priced While you're living beyond all your means And the man in the suit has just bought a new car From the profit he's made on your dreams But today you just read that the man was shot dead By a gun that didn't make any noise But it wasn't the bullet that laid him to rest, was The low spark of high-heeled boys If you had just a minute to breathe And they granted you one final wish Would you ask for something like another chance? Or something sim'lar as this? Don't worry too much It'll happen to you As sure as your sorrows are joys And the thing that disturbs you is only the sound of The low spark of high-heeled boys The percentage you're paying is too high priced While you're living beyond all your means And the man in the suit has just bought a new car From the profit he's made on your dreams But today you just read that the man was shot dead By a gun that didn't make any noise But it wasn't the bullet that laid him to rest, was The low spark of high-heeled boys (heeled boys) If I gave you everything that I owned And asked for nothing in return Would you do the same for me as I would for you? Or take me for a ride And strip me of everything, including my pride But spirit is something that no one destroys And the sound that I'm hearing is only the sound The low spark of high-heeled boys (heeled boys)
