    Isn't Life Strange


    Isn't life strange
    A turn of the page
    Can read like before
    Can we ask for more?
    Each day passes by
    How hard man will try?
    The sea will not wait

    You know it makes me want to cry, cry, cry -
    Wished I could be in your heart
    To be one with your love
    Wished I could be in your eyes
    Looking back there you were, and here we are.

    Isn't love strange
    A word we arrange
    With no thought or care
    Maker of despair
    Each breath that we breathe
    With love we must weave
    To make us as one
    You know it makes me want to cry, cry, cry -


    Wished I could be in your heart
    To be one with your love
    Wished I could be in your eyes
    Looking back there you were, and here we are.

    Isn't life strange
    A turn of the page
    A book without light
    Unless with love we write;
    To throw it away
    To lose just a day
    The quicksand of time
    You know it makes me want to cry, cry, cry -

    Wished I could be in your heart
    To be one with your love
    Wished I could be in your eyes
    Looking back there you were:

    The Lost Children
    Mine

    Lyrics:

    Been watching for a long time
    Seeing the world drawing closer
    To the edge of calamity
    How many of our wars have started
    Over mankind's opiate, We call religion
    Too many of our children have died,
    In the never-ending fight for territory
    Are we born to violence?
    Can we stop in time?

    (They Say) You were warned to remain on your side
    You'll be starting a war now if you cross that line
    Turn around or face my reprisal,
    For I have determined
    That this is mine

    Been hurting for a long time
    Feeling my heart torn open
    From the lack of humanity
    Insanity on both sides
    Paving the path that guarantees our own extinction
    Hate added to the stockpile
    Filling the world with enemies
    A constant battle, in the face of violence
    They emit their cry

    (They Say) You were warned to remain on your side
    You'll be starting a war now if you cross that line
    Turn around or face my reprisal,
    For I have determined
    That this is mine

    (Chant)

    You were warned to remain on your side
    You'll be starting a war now if you cross that line
    Turn around or face my reprisal
    For I have determined that this is mine

    We will not be broken this time
    We will force the whole world to testify
    Stand your ground or face our reprisal
    For we have determined
    That this is?

    THE RAINBOW CONNECTION
    written by Paul Williams
    sung by Kermit the Frog

    Why are there so many songs about rainbows, and what's on the other side?
    Rainbows are visions, but only illusions, and rainbows have nothing to hide.
    So we've been told, and some choose to believe it. I know they're wrong, wait and see.
    Someday we'll find it, the Rainbow Connection--the lovers, the dreamers and me.

    Who said that every wish would be heard and answered, when wished on the morning star?
    Somebody thought of that, and someone believed it, and look what it's done so far.
    What's so amazing, that keeps us stargazing, and what do we think we might see?
    Some day we'll find it, the Rainbow Connection--the lovers, the dreamers and me.

    All of us under its spell, we know that it's probably magic.​

    Have you been half asleep, and have your heard voices? I've heard them calling my name.
    Is this the same sound that lured the young sailors? The voice might be one and the same.
    I've heard it too many times to ignore it, it's something that I'm supposed to be.
    Some day we'll find it, the Rainbow Connection--the lovers, the dreamers and me.

    ---------------------

    This is my best karaoke song. I once had half the people in the bar singing along.

    Nope, the seemingly meaningless wording is the original.

    Monty Python: The Universe Song.

    Just remember that you're standing on a planet that's evolving
    And revolving at nine hundred miles an hour,
    That's orbiting at nineteen miles a second, so it's reckoned,
    A sun that is the source of all our power.
    The sun and you and me and all the stars that we can see
    Are moving at a million miles a day
    In an outer spiral arm, at forty thousand miles an hour,
    Of the galaxy we call the 'Milky Way'.
    Our galaxy itself contains a hundred billion stars.
    It's a hundred thousand light years side to side.
    It bulges in the middle, sixteen thousand light years thick,
    But out by us, it's just three thousand light years wide.
    We're thirty thousand light years from galactic central point.
    We go 'round every two hundred million years,
    And our galaxy is only one of millions of billions
    In this amazing and expanding universe.

    The universe itself keeps on expanding and expanding
    In all of the directions it can whizz
    As fast as it can go, at the speed of light, you know,
    Twelve million miles a minute, and that's the fastest speed there is.
    So remember, when you're feeling very small and insecure,
    How amazingly unlikely is your birth,
    And pray that there's intelligent life somewhere up in space,
    'Cause there's bugger all down here on Earth.

    Not quite right.

    A kid'll eat ivy too.​

    That song was a little inscrutable for the British. They don't flap their intervocalic D's and T's like we do. "Liter" and "leader" are not homonyms to them, so "Mares eat oats" does not sound like "Mares ead oats."

    Of course today, with TV, movies and pop music, were both much more familiar with each other's dialects, so they would understand it.

    The Pretender-Jackson Browne



    I'm going to rent myself a house
    In the shade of the freeway
    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 icecream 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 as they run through the night
    Leaving nothing 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

    Say a prayer for the pretender
    Are you there
    For the pretender?
    Say a prayer for the pretender
    Are you there
    For the pretender?
    Are you there
    For the pretender?

    Not a huge Jackson Browne fan but, I gotta agree, The Pretender is excellent.
