    I feel that beat, but it ain’t no beat devoid of subsequent juxtaposition!

    I Ain't Gonna Eat Out My Heart Anymore

    Yeah

    I admit you got the biggest brown eyes
    And you know how to bite your lips to tantalise
    Sure

    Yeah

    You can get any girl you want going (and you do it)
    And don't say you don't know, 'cause you do

    Well, baby

    I ain't gonna eat out my heart anymore
    I ain't gonna eat out my heart anymore
    I ain't gonna eat out my heart anymore

    So quit it

    They arent "cool" anymore but this song still is....
    We take the staircase to the first floor
    We turn the key and slowly unlock the door
    A man breathes into a saxophone
    And through the walls we hear the city groan
    Outside it's America
    Outside it's America

    ^ U2 will always be cool to me.

    One of my favorites of theirs.
    One by U2 with Mary J. Blige

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZpDQJnI4OhU&feature=kp

    Is it getting better?
    Or do you feel the same?
    Will it make it easier on you now?
    You got someone to blame

    You say, one love, one life
    When it's one need in the night
    One love, we get to share it
    Leaves you baby if you don't care for it

    Did I disappoint you?
    Or leave a bad taste in your mouth?
    You act like you never had love
    And you want me to go without

    Well it's too late tonight
    To drag the past out into the light
    We're one but we're not the same
    We get to carry each other, carry each other
    One!

    Have you come here for forgiveness?
    Have you come to raise the dead?
    Have you come here to play Jesus?
    To the lepers in your head

    Did I ask too much? More than a lot
    You gave me nothin' now it's all I got
    We're one but we're not the same
    Well we hurt each other then we do it again

    You say love is a temple, love is a higher law
    Love is a temple, love is the higher law
    You ask for me to enter but then you make me crawl
    And I can't be holdin' on to what you got
    When all you got is hurt

    One love, one blood
    One life, you got to do what you should
    One life, with each other
    Sisters, brothers

    One life but we're not the same
    We get to carry each other, carry each other
    One
    One

    Good song to remember on those days when 'the beast' is on the prowl. Never let him be the victor, my friends.

    I Won't Back Down by Tom Petty And The Heartbreakers

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nvlTJrNJ5lA

    Well I won't back down, no I won't back down
    You can stand me up at the gates of Hell
    But I won't back down

    No I'll stand my ground, won't be turned around
    And I'll keep this world from draggin' me down
    Gonna stand my ground and I won't back down

    (I won't back down)
    Hey baby, there ain't no easy way out
    (I won't back down)
    Hey I will stand my ground
    And I won't back down

    Well I know what's right, I got just one life
    In a world that keeps on pushin' me around
    But I'll stand my ground and I won't back down

    (I won't back down)
    Hey baby there ain't no easy way out
    (I won't back down)
    Hey I will stand my ground
    (I won't back down)
    And I won't back down

    (I won't back down)
    Hey baby there ain't no easy way out
    (I wont back down)
    Hey I won't back down

    (I won't back down)
    Hey baby there ain't no easy way out
    (I won't back down)
    Hey I will stand my ground
    (I won't back down)
    And I won't back down
    (I won't back down)
    No, I won't back down

    I always thought Piano Man by Billy Joel and Tiny Dancer by Elton John were two of the best songs ever written.

    Near the Mountians
    "Pompeii"

    Eh-eh-o eh-o

    I was left to my own devices
    Many days fell away with nothing to show

    And the walls kept tumbling down
    In the city that we love
    Great clouds roll over the hills
    Bringing darkness from above

    But if you close your eyes,
    Does it almost feel like
    Nothing changed at all?
    And if you close your eyes,
    Does it almost feel like
    You've been here before?
    How am I gonna be an optimist about this?
    How am I gonna be an optimist about this?

    We were caught up and lost in all of our vices
    In your pose as the dust settled around us

    And the walls kept tumbling down
    In the city that we love
    Great clouds roll over the hills
    Bringing darkness from above

    But if you close your eyes,
    Does it almost feel like
    Nothing changed at all?
    And if you close your eyes,
    Does it almost feel like
    You've been here before?
    How am I gonna be an optimist about this?
    How am I gonna be an optimist about this?

    Eh-eh-o eh-o

    Oh where do we begin?
    The rubble or our sins?
    Oh oh where do we begin?
    The rubble or our sins?

    And the walls kept tumbling down (oh where do we begin?)
    In the city that we love (the rubble or our sins?)
    Great clouds roll over the hills (oh where do we begin?)
    Bringing darkness from above (the rubble or our sins?)

    But if you close your eyes,
    Does it almost feel like
    Nothing changed at all?
    And if you close your eyes,
    Does it almost feel like
    You've been here before?
    How am I gonna be an optimist about this?
    How am I gonna be an optimist about this?

    If you close your eyes, does it almost feel like nothing changed at all?

    Eh-eh-o eh-o



    This song has really touched the historian that lives in my soul.

    R.I.P.


    Wish I told her how I felt
    Maybe she'd be here right now

    I pretended I'm glad you went away
    These four walls close in more every day
    And I'm dyin' inside and nobody knows it but me

    Like a clown I put on a show
    Pain is real, even if nobody knows
    And I'm cryin' inside and nobody knows it but me

    Why didn't I say the things I needed to say?
    How could I let my angel get away?
    Now my world is just a tumblin' down
    I can see it so clearly but you're nowhere around

    The nights are lonely, the days are so sad
    And I just keep thinkin' about the love that we had
    And I'm missin' you and nobody knows it but me

    I carry a smile when I'm broken in two
    And I'm nobody without someone like you
    I'm tremblin' inside and nobody knows it but me

    I lie awake it's a quarter past three
    I'm screamin' at night as if I thought you'd hear me
    Yeah, my heart is callin' you and nobody knows it but me

    How blue can I get? You could ask my heart
    And like a jigsaw puzzle it's been torn all apart
    A million words couldn't say just how I feel
    A million years from now, you know, I'll be lovin' you still

    The nights are lonely, the days are so sad
    And I just keep thinkin' about the love that we had
    And I'm missing you and nobody knows it but me

    Tomorrow mornin' I'm hittin' the dusty road
    Gonna find you wherever, ever you might go
    And I'm gonna unload my heart and hope you
    Come back to me

    Said when the nights are lonely
    The nights are lonely, the days are so sad
    And I just keep thinkin' about the love that we had
    And I'm missing you and nobody knows it but me

    The nights are lonely, the days are so sad
    And I just keep thinkin' about the love that we had
    And I'm missing you and nobody knows it but me

    The nights are lonely, the days are so sad
    And I just keep thinkin' about the love that we had
    And I'm missing you and nobody knows it but me

    Beauty queen of only eighteen
    She had some trouble with herself
    He was always there to help her
    She always belonged to someone else

    I drove for miles and miles
    And wound up at your door
    I've had you so many times
    But somehow I want more

    I don't mind spending every day
    Out on your corner in the pourin' rain
    Look for the girl with the broken smile
    Ask her if she wants to stay a while

    And she will be loved, and she will be loved

    Tap on my window, knock on my door
    I want to make you feel beautiful
    I know, I tend to get so insecure
    It doesn't matter anymore

    It's not always rainbows and butterflies
    It's compromise that moves us along, yeah
    My heart is full and my door's always open
    You come anytime you want, yeah

    I don't mind spending everyday
    Out on your corner in the pourin' rain
    Look for the girl with the broken smile
    Ask her if she wants to stay awhile

    And she will be loved, and she will be loved
    And she will be loved, and she will be loved

    I know where you hide alone in your car
    Know all of the things that make you who you are
    I know that goodbye means nothin' at all
    Comes back and begs me to catch her every time she falls

    Yeah, tap on my window, knock on my door
    I want to make you feel beautiful

    I don't mind spending everyday
    Out on your corner in the pourin' rain
    Look for the girl with the broken smile
    Ask her if she wants to stay awhile

    And she will be loved, and she will be loved
    And she will be loved, and she will be loved
    (Please don't try so hard to say goodbye)

    Yeah, I don't mind spending everyday
    (Please don't try so hard to say goodbye)
    Out on your corner in the pourin' rain
    (Please don't try so hard to say goodbye)

    It's amazing how you can speak right to my heart
    Without sayin' a word you can light up the dark
    Try as I may I could never explain
    What I hear when you don't say a thing

    The smile on your face lets me know that you need me
    There's a truth in your eyes saying you'll never leave me
    The touch of your hand says you'll catch me if ever I fall
    You say it best when you say nothin' at all

    All day long I can hear people talking out loud
    But when you hold me near you drown out the crowd
    Ol' Mr. Webster could never define
    What's being said between your heart and mine

    The smile on your face lets me know that you need me
    There's a truth in your eyes saying you'll never leave me
    The touch of your hand says you'll catch me if ever I fall
    You say it best when you say nothing at all

    The smile on your face lets me know that you need me
    There's a truth in your eyes saying you'll never leave me
    The touch of your hand says you'll catch me if ever I fall
    You say it best when you say nothing at all

    Oh yeah
    Oh yeah

    So scared of breaking it that you won't let it bend
    And I wrote two hundred letters I will never send
    Sometimes these cuts are so much deeper than they seem
    You'd rather cover up, I'd rather let them be

    So let me be, and I'll set you free

    I am in misery
    There ain't nobody who can comfort me, oh yeah
    Why won't you answer me?
    The silence is slowly killing me, oh yeah

    Girl you really got me bad
    You really got me bad
    Now I'm gonna get you back
    I'm gonna get you back

    Your salty skin and how it mixes in with mine
    The way it feels to be completely intertwined
    Not that I didn't care, it's that I didn't know
    It's not what I didn't feel, it's what I didn't show

    So let me be, and I'll set you free

    I am in misery
    And there ain't nobody who can comfort me, oh yeah
    Why won't you answer me?
    The silence is slowly killing me, oh yeah

    Girl you really got me bad
    You really got me bad
    And now I'm gonna get you back
    Now I'm gonna get you back

    You say your faith is shaken, and you may be mistaken
    You keep me wide awake and waiting for the sun
    I'm desperate and confused, so far away from you
    I'm getting there, I don't care where I have to run

    Why do you do what you do to me, yeah?
    Why won't you answer me, answer me yeah?
    Why do you do what you do to me yeah?
    Why won't you answer me, answer me yeah?

    I am in misery
    And there ain't nobody who can comfort me, oh yeah
    Why won't you answer me?
    The silence is slowly killing me, oh yeah

    Girl you really got me bad
    You really got me bad
    And now I'm gonna get you back
    I'm gonna get you back

    Girl you really got me bad
    You really got me bad
    And now I'm gonna get you back
    I'm gonna get you back

    Girl you really got me bad
    You really got me bad
    And now I'm gonna get you back
    I'm gonna get you back

    Girl you really got me bad
    You really got me bad
    Now I'm gonna get you back
    I'm gonna get you back

    Don't you mind people grinnin' in your face
    Don't mind people grinnin' in your face
    You just bear this in mind, a true friend is hard to find
    Don't you mind people grinnin' in your face

    You know your mother would talk about you
    Your own sisters and your brothers too
    They just don't care how you're tryin' to live
    They'll talk about you still

    Yes, but bear, ooh, this in mind, a true friend is hard to find
    Don't you mind people grinnin' in your face
    Don't you mind people grinnin' in your face
    Don't you mind people grinnin' in your face

    Oh, just bear, ooh this in mind, a true friend is hard to find
    Don't you mind people grinnin' in your face

    You know they'll jump you up and down
    They'll carry you all 'round and 'round
    Just as soon as your back is turned
    They'll be tryin' to crush you down

    Yes, but bear this in mind, a true friend is hard to find
    Don't you mind people grinnin' in your face
    Don't mind people grinnin' in your face
    Don't mind people grinnin' in your face, oh, Lord

    And just bear this in mind, a true friend is hard to find
    Don't you mind people grinnin' in your face

    If, by the displacement of vibrations propagated through compressible media, life-forms endowed with audition are able to translate sound into information, & for information to evoke ambiance, mood & emotion or association, the majority of my favorite "lyrics" would be devoid of linguistic systems.
