Loreena McKennitt - The Highwayman From the poem by Alfred Noyes
Part I
The wind was a torrent of darkness among the gusty trees, The moon was a ghostly galleon tossed upon cloudy seas. The road was a ribbon of moonlight over the purple moor, And the highwayman came riding, Riding, riding, The highwayman came riding, up to the old inn-door.
He'd a French cocked-hat on his forehead, a bunch of lace at his chin, A coat of the claret velvet, and breeches of brown doe-skin. They fitted with never a wrinkle. His boots were up to the thigh! And he rode with a jewelled twinkle, His pistol butts a-twinkle, His rapier hilts a-twinkle, under the jewelled sky.
And over the cobbles he clattered and clashed in the dark inn-yard. And he tapped with his whip on the shutters, but all was locked and
barred. He whistled a tune to the window, and who should be waiting there But the landlord's black-eyed daughter, Bess, the landlord's daughter, Plaiting a dark red love-knot into her long black hair.
And dark in the dark old inn-yard a stable-wicket creaked Where Tim the ostler listened. His face was white and peaked. His eyes were hollows of madness, his hair like mouldy hay, But he loved the landlord's daughter, The landlord's red-lipped daughter. Dumb as a dog he listened, and he heard the robber say:
"One kiss my bonny sweetheart, I'm after a prize to-night, But I shall be back with the yellow gold before the morning light; If they press me sharply, and harry me through the day, Then look for me by the moonlight, Watch for me be the moonlight, I'll come to thee by the moonlight, though hell should bar the way."
He rose upright in the stirrups. He scarce could reach her hand, But she loosened her hair i' the casement. His face burnt like a brand As the black cascade of perfume came tumbling over his breast; And he kissed its waves in the moonlight, (Oh, sweet waves in the moonlight!) He tugged at his reins in the moonlight, and galloped away to the west.
Part II
He did not come at the dawning. He did not come at noon; And out of the tawny sunset, before the rise o' the moon, When the road was a gypsy's ribbon, looping the purple moor, A red-coat troop came marching, Marching, marching, King George's men came marching, up to the old inn-door.
They said no word to the landlord. They drank his ale instead. But they gagged his daughter, and bound her, to the foot of her narrow
bed. Two of them knelt at her casement, with muskets at their side! There was death at every window; Hell at one dark window; For Bess could see, through the casement, the road that he would ride.
They had tied her up to attention, with many a sniggering jest. They had bound a musket beside her, with the barrel beneath her breast! "Now, keep good watch!" and they kissed her. She heard the dead man say- 'Look for me by the moonlight; Watch for me by the moonlight; I'll come to thee by the moonlight, though hell should bar the way!'
She twisted her hands behind her; but all the knots held good! She writhed her hands till her fingers were wet with sweat or blood! They stretched and strained in the darkness, and the hours crawled by
like years, Till, now, on the stroke of midnight, Cold on the stroke of midnight, The tip of one finger touched it! The trigger at least was hers!
The tip of one finger touched it. She strove no more for the rest. Up, she stood up to attention, with the muzzle beneath her breast. She would not risk their hearing; she would not strive again; For the road lay bare in the moonlight; Blank and bare in the moonlight; And the blood of her veins, in the moonlight, throbbed to her love's
refrain.
'Tlot-tlot; tlot-tlot!' Had they heard it? The horse-hoofs ringing clear; 'Tlot-tlot, tlot-tlot,' in the distance! Were they deaf that they did not
hear? Down the ribbon of moonlight, over the brow of the hill, The highwayman came riding, Riding, riding! The red-coats looked to their priming! She stood up, straight and still.
'Tlot-tlot,' in the frosty silence! 'Tlot-tlot,' in the echoing night! Nearer he came and nearer. Her face was like a light. Her eyes grew wide for a moment; she drew one last deep breath, Then her finger moved in the moonlight, Her musket shattered the moonlight, Shattered her breast in the moonlight and warned him with her death.
He turned; He spurred to the west; he did not know she stood Bowed, with her head o'er the musket, drenched with her own red blood! Not till the dawn he heard it, his face grew grey to hear How Bess, the landlord's daughter, The landlord's black-eyed daughter, Had watched for her love in the moonlight, and died in the darkness
there.
And back, he spurred like a madman, shrieking a curse to the sky, With the white road smoking behind him and his rapier brandished high. Blood-red were his spurs i' the golden noon; wine-red was his velvet
coat; When they shot him down on the highway, Down like a dog on the highway, And he lay in his blood on the highway, with the bunch of lace at his
throat.
'Still of a winter's night, they say, when the wind is in the trees, When the moon is a ghostly galleon tossed upon cloudy seas, When the road is a ribbon of moonlight over the purple moor, A highwayman comes riding, Riding, Riding, A highwayman comes riding, up to the old in-door.
Over the cobbles he clatters and clangs in the dark inn-yard. And he taps with his whip on the shutters, but all is locked and barred. He whistles a tune to the window, and who should be waiting there But the landlord's black-eyed daughter, Bess, the landlord's daughter, Plaiting a dark red love-knot into her long black hair.'

This one is for Lucretia. I´m not sure if you will be able to read it, in case you can, please reconsider your decisions and write me a PM afterwards. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/puppyeyes.gif" alt="" />
Beautiful, by Linda Perry (performed by Christina Aguilera)
Everyday is so wonderful, the suddenly, it´s hard to breathe Now and then i get insecure, from all the pain. I´m so ashamed
I am beautiful in every single way yes words can´t bring me down so don´t you bring me down today
To all your friends your delirious so consumed in all your doom trying hard to hard to fill the emptiness, the piece is gone, let the puzzle undone, is that the way it is
You are beautiful no matter what they say words can´t bring you down cause you are beautiful in every single way yes words can´t bring you down so don´t you bring me down today
No matter what we do No matter what we say We´re the song inside the tune, full of beautiful mistakes and everywhere we go, the sun will always shine and tommorow we might awake on the other side
Cause we are beautiful, no matter what they say Yes words don´t bring us down, no we are beautiful in every single way yes words can´t bring us down So don´t you bring me down tonight.
Lucretia, s´agapó

Call My Name (And I'll Be There)
There are days when those grey skies Make you blue Each forward step you take You fall back by two
You've been hit by some hard knocks You just can't stand Feeling like Alice felt In Wonderland Let me be there to lend a hand
CHORUS:
Call my name and I'll be there There's nothing like the laughter that we share whenever you need someone or a shoulder to lean on Call my name and I'll be there
And when life's going your way Just like a breeze It's a kite flying kind of day Above the trees
Together we'll be making memories
REPEAT CHORUS
As this world turns us around We hand on to what we found A treasure we both need I will go an extra mile To give you back a certain smile That you've given me, yeah I'll answer evey time and anywhere
REPEAT CHORUS
Call my name and I'll be there Call my name and I'll be there Call my name Call my name I'll be there
Rainy Day Man
When I think about the first time I thought I found someone who cared for me But things were not as they appeared to be
Rainy Day Man On your shoulder I cried When my first brush with love Left me shaking inside Rainy Day Man
Ever since I can remember Just like a brother you've been strong and true Always been the one to see me through
Rainy Day Man You're much more than a friend I would give anything Just to see you again Rainy Day Man
Always been the one to see me through
Rainy Day Man On your shoulder I cried When my first brush with love Left me shaking inside
Rainy Day Man You're much more than a friend I would give anything Just to see you again Rainy Day Man Rainy Day Man Rainy Day Man Rainy Day Man

hey grid- you want a good f*ck you song? here's one of my faves:
Dillinger Four - Maximum Piss And Vinegar
I laughed at what was said, I'd been misled, confusing my enemies Blind trust in what was put in front of me You laughed as well, in on the joke, all poker faced Fingers crossed behind your back Eyes not betraying how the deck was stacked
And I'd like to be the one to wipe that smile off your face To let you taste the bitterness that passing time has not erased And when the house of cards you built has finally topppled in decline I hope the punishment and pain will last a lifetime
You coast along, you're so damn smart you think But not quite invisible, you're in my eye and unforgivable
Cuz I'm one step closer than the last motherf*cker That you thought you got over on but they couldn't wait as long To see it through You'll let your comfort get the best of you
You'll never see it coming, out of the blue Like it was nothing, but you will know your situation Because the end was your creation

Ouch..Gridlock that sounds really harsh.  Hope you're feeling better! p.s. Blow her off for a few weeks and then try to come on to one of her friends.. we HATE that!
I am my thoughts. If they exist in her, Buffy contains everything that is me and she becomes me. I cease to exist.

Stevie Ray Vaughan - life by the drop
Hello there, my old friend, not so long ago it was 'till the end We played outside in the pouring rain, on our way up the road we started over again
You're livin' a dream, wo you on top My mind is achin', Lord it won't stop That's how it happens, livin' life by the drop
Up and down that road in our worn out shoes, talkin' 'bout good things and signin' the blues You went your way, I stayed behind We both knew it was just a matter of time
You're livin' a dream, wo you on top My mind is achin', Lord it won't stop That's how it happens, livin' life by the drop
No wasted time, we're alive today Churnin' up the past, there's no easier way Time's been between us, a means to an end God it's good to be here walkin' together my friend
You're livin' a dream, wo you on top My mind is achin', Lord it won't stop That's how it happens, livin' life by the drop

@ Morbo : http://www.pythonline.comAlan Parsons : Call of the Wild Sung by Maire / Moya Brennan from Clannad) (From the Album "The Time Machine") Well I've talked to the wind and I've listened to rain I have climbed to the clouds and I've cried out with pain This life is for living so come to my side And open your heart ... to the call of the wild. We are all of one nation, all of one creed We are all out of nature, all of one seed We are in this together, man woman and child So open your heart to the call of the wild. We talk the same language in different tongues We're somebody's daughter and somebody's sons But those who believe we are head of the chain May wake up to find we are all that remain. There is no neeed to fear what we don't understand For we breathe the same air and we walk the same land The strong and the anxious, the meek and the mild All dance to the drum ... that's the call of the wild. That's what I meant when I wrote a few days ago that "the first music is the heartbeat". <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />

Dominion (Mother Russia) - The Sisters Of Mercy
in the heat of the night in the heat of the day when I close my eyes when I look your way when I meet the fear that lies inside when I hear you say in the heat of the moment say, say, say:
some day, some day, some day dominion come a time some day, some day, some day dominion some say prayers I say mine
in the light of the fact on the lone and level sand stretch far away in the heat of the action in the settled dust hold hold and sway in the meeting of mind down in the streets of shame in the betting of names on gold to rust in the land of the blind be king, king, king, king
some day, some day, some day dominion come a time some day, some day, some day dominion some say prayers I say mine
we serve an old man in a dry season a lighthouse keeper in the desert sun dreamers of sleepers and white treason we dream of rain and the history of the gun there's a lighthouse in the middle of Prussia a white house in a red square I'm living in films for the sake of Russia a kino runner for the DDR and the fifty-two daughters of the revolution turn the gold to chrome gift, nothing to lose stuck inside of Memphis with the mobile home, sing:
Mother Russia, Mother Russia, Mother Russia rain down down down Mother Russia, Mother Russia, Mother Russia rain down

This is a song back from 1988 by... what else a German group called Camouflage.
Germans have done a great work in music all those years. Cheers to them
The Great Commandment- Camouflage
Some people suppress you they parch you and reap a disaster Reeducation for the infants who demanded for an innocent instance The great commandment shows the contempt between the world and their embarrassing pavement Believe the scholars read the readings realize the man who says anything. The great commandment. The needies believe you they treat you like survivors of a disaster Reeducation for the infants who demanded for an innocent instance The great commandment...
(Music: M. Meyn, H. Maile, O. Kreyssig, Words: M. Meyn)

One of my most fav. songs this period.
A bit of explicit lyrics. Please only adults.
~Kiss~ London After Midnight [color:"#666666"] You'll never understand, the meaning in the end We're standing at the gates, you'll meet the darker fate Your purity and rage, your passion and your hate You promissed more than bliss With your God and with your kiss I'm on my knees, I beg your mercy My soul is my loss, I'm well hung from your cross Take me, take me in your arms my love and rape me Don't hide behind your rage I know you love me and always will Your my posession Of that my love there really is no question Don't hide behind your rage I know you love me and always will My better half it's true Has seen the darker side of you Innocence stripped away, at least I've the brighter fate...

OH MY GOTH musics & lyics by Romell Regulacion ©INVIVO music (BMI)
I know I prefer to hurt it seems to comfort me and burn I never asked for it - question. I never wanted it to end
I know that I die gracefully in vain I know inside deteriorates in pain
you’re such a part of me I can’t believe it’s real
I crawl in my black box to hide I welcome misery with pride take turns in whipping me I bleed enjoy the fantasy and greed
I know that I die gracefully in vain I know inside deteriorates in pain
you’re such a part of me I can’t believe it’s real
Oh my Goth! Subject me to your world Oh my Goth! Take pleasure in my hurt
You can have my absence of faith you can have my everything...
