Wildbirds & Peacedrums - "Peeling Off the Layers"



https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qzfg8ziVInI

There in the day come to me
Straight into my arms
I try to hold it
But it just ran through my fingers
The ocean
They come to me
Straight into my arms
I tried to caress it
But it rand right through my fingers

Water will keep running
And rivers will turn
(x3)

So how can I ever find
What I'm looking for?
When it's been closer
Stuck at the nights
The wind blows from north to south
But I'm still where I was
Keep taking some shirts off
And taking them off

Peel off the layers
Peel it off
Peel off the layers
Peel it off
Peel off the layers
Peel it off
Peel off the layers
Peel it off

I wish I could find a cure
And to know my disease
But like nothing is heard of
The circle of all of life
And let you carry me to the other side
There is looking just like this
With the sink on the open

Everything is so far
Leaking about
Everything is so far
Leaking about
Everything is so far
Leaking about
Everything is so far
Leaking about

Robert Palmer - Woke Up Laughing



https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pdWTy9TwvZ8

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x3jCNDj9r9I

I ran to the window as fast as could be
I thought you were somebody else
I thought you were me
I thought I had lost everything and found you instead
I fell fast asleep in your arms I woke up in bed

I was waiting for you
I was sat in the sun
I could picture your face on the tip of my tongue
I woke up laughing
I broke into a sweat
I broke into a run
You were hot in my heels so I hired a gun
I woke up laughing
I was flat on my back
I was taking a plunge
It was making a stand but my plan was undone
I woke up laughing
Well I planned an escape for the middle of june
But I drug too fast and I fire too soon
I woke up laughing
Woke up laughing

You make yourself a fortune, out in hong kong
You sit at home and wonder whether you were wrong
You take a small vacation just to keep sane
You find on your return your home has blown away
You meditate, you make haste
You run a risk, you come late,
You pay a bill, you lose face
You're not fully unaware
Your star or your fate
If you fall do you break
You go to war, you make love
You sign out in a box

[Repeat whole song]

Robert Palmer - "True Love"



https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W6PVBmw3hsU

If I'm not mistaken my whole universe was shaken when I fell for you
'Coz all the stars collided when I held you in my arms
I knew you were the one
I was searching for perfection babe
But love is the exception that proves all the rules
There's a sensuality that only you have shown to me that steals my breath away

And by the way baby if there's something that I care about it's
True love
And no matter where you are, you are my
True love
And I thank the lucky stars above for
True love
There was never any doubt about it
True love

(and it's you love)

Total satisfaction - irresistible attraction
I got no excuse
I live in anticipation of your unforeseen temptations
What you gonna do?
I don't have an explanation
You're the only invitation I cannot refuse
And handsome is as handsome does
And you win hands down baby doll
You got it nailed
And by the way baby

It don't matter where you are, you are my
True love
There was never any doubt about it
True love
And I thank the lucky stars above for
True love
If there's one thing I can't live without it's
True love
(and it's you love)

If I'm not mistaken my whole universe was shaken when I fell for you
'Coz all the stars collided when I held you in my arms
I knew you were the one
And by the way baby

If there's something that I care about it's
True love
And no matter where you are, you are my
True love
And I thank the lucky stars above for
True love
There was never any doubt about it
True love

All the tragedy and irony of
True love
All the agony and ecstasy of
True love
It don't matter where you are, you are my
True love
There was never any doubt about it
True love

It don't matter where you are, you are my true love
There was never any doubt about it
True love
And I thank the lucky stars above for
True love
If there's one thing I can't live without

It's true love

If there's something that I care about
It's True love
And no matter where you are, you are my true love

Bruce Springsteen & The East Street Band - 'Trapped"



https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K2eE9H7Nzww

Well it seems like I'm caught up in your trap again
And it seems like I'll be wearin' the same ol' chains
Good will conquer evil and the truth will set you free
And I know someday I'll find the key
Then I know somewhere I will find the key
Well it seems like I've been playin' the game way too long
And it seems the game I played has made you strong
Well when the game is over, I won't walk out the loser
And I know that I'll walk out of here again
And I know someday I'll walk out of here again

But now I'm trapped! Ooh yeah!
Trapped! Ooh yeah yeah!
Trapped! Ooh yeah!
Trapped! Ooh yeahhh!

Now it seems like I've been sleepin' in your bed too long
And it seems like you've been meanin' to do me harm
But I'll teach my eyes to see beyond these walls in front of me
And someday I'll walk out of here again
Yeah I know someday I'll walk out of here again

But now I'm trapped! Ooh yeah!
Trapped! Ooh yeah yeah!
Trapped! Ooh yeah!
Trapped! Ooh yeahhh!

Now it seems like I've been playin' your game way too long
And it seems the game I played has made you strong

Because I'm trapped! Ooh yeah!
Trapped! Ooh yeah yeah!
Trapped! Ooh yeah!
Trapped! Ooh yeahhh!

I'm trapped! Ooh yeah!
Trapped! Ooh yeahhh!
Trapped! Ooh yeah!
Trapped! Ooh yeahhh!
I'm trapped

Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds - "Into My Arms"



https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FG0-cncMpt8

I don't believe in an interventionist God
But I know, darling, that you do
But if I did I would kneel down and ask Him
Not to intervene when it came to you
Not to touch a hair on your head
To leave you as you are
And if He felt He had to direct you
Then direct you into my arms

Into my arms, O Lord
Into my arms, O Lord
Into my arms, O Lord
Into my arms

And I don't believe in the existence of angels
But looking at you I wonder if that's true
But if I did I would summon them together
And ask them to watch over you
To each burn a candle for you
To make bright and clear your path
And to walk, like Christ, in grace and love
And guide you into my arms

Into my arms, O Lord
Into my arms, O Lord
Into my arms, O Lord
Into my arms

And I believe in Love
And I know that you do too
And I believe in some kind of path
That we can walk down, me and you
So keep your candles burning
And make her journey bright and pure
That she will keep returning
Always and evermore

Into my arms, O Lord
Into my arms, O Lord
Into my arms, O Lord
Into my arms

Canned Heat - "On The Road Again"



https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qRKNw477onU

Well, I'm so tired of crying, but I'm out
on the road again.
- I'm on the road again.
Well, I'm so tired of crying, but I'm out
on the road again.
- I'm on the road again.
I ain't got no woman
Just to call my special friend.
You know the first time I traveled out
in the rain and snow,
- In the rain and snow.
You know the first time I traveled out
in the rain and snow,
- In the rain and snow.
I didn't have no payroll,
Not even no place to go.
And my dear mother left me when
I was quite young,
- When I was quite young.
And my dear mother left me when
I was quite young,
- When I was quite young.
She said "Lord, have mercy
On my wicked son."
Take a hint from me, mama, please
don't you cry no more,
- Don't you cry no more.
Take a hint from me, mama, please
don't you cry no more,
- Don't you cry no more.
'Cause it's soon one morning
Down the road I'm going.
But I aint going down that
long old lonesome road
All by myself.
But I aint going down that
long old lonesome road
All by myself.
I can't carry you, Baby,
Gonna carry somebody else.

Bob Dylan - "Changing Of The Guards"

http://v.youku.com/v_show/id_XMTA4MzMwMjg0.html



Sixteen years
Sixteen banners united over the field
Where the good shepherd grieves
Desperate men, desperate women divided
Spreading their wings 'neath falling leaves.

Fortune calls
I stepped forth from the shadows to the marketplace
Merchants and thieves, hungry for power, my last deal gone down
She's smelling sweet like the meadows where she was born
On midsummer's eve near the tower.

The cold-blooded moon
The captain waits above the celebration
Sending his thoughts to a beloved maid
Whose ebony face is beyond communication
The captain is down but still believing that his love will be repaid.

They shaved her head
She was torn between Jupiter and Apollo
A messenger arrived with a black nightingale
I seen her on the stairs and I couldn't help but follow
Follow her down past the fountain where they lifted her veil.

I stumbled to my feet
I rode past destruction in the ditches
With the stitches still mending beneath a heart-shaped tattoo
Renegade priests and treacherous young witches
Were handing out the flowers that I'd given to you.

The palace of mirrors
Where dog soldiers are reflected
The endless road and the wailing of chimes
The empty rooms where her memory is protected
Where the angel's voices whisper to the souls of previous times.

She wakes him up
Forty-eight hours later the sun is breaking
Near broken chains, mountain laurel and rolling rocks
She's begging to know what measures he now will be taking
He's pulling her down and she's clutching on to his long golden locks.
Gentlemen, he said I don't need your organization, I've shined your shoes
I've moved your mountains and marked your cards
But Eden is burning either brace yourself for elimination
Or else your hearts must have the courage for the changing of the guards.

Peace will come
With tranquillity and splendor on the wheels of fire
But will bring us no reward when her false idols fall
And cruel death surrenders with its pale ghost retreating
Between the King and the Queen of Swords.
